adventures in cyberspace
The other day, I wanted to see if my computer needed defragging, only to discover that the system tools had disappeared. I called Spectrum & thru the wire the woman told me to complete the virus scan I'd begun, then call back. Next time some guy told me to uninstall & reinstall Accessories; Spectrum hadn't included the original Windows disc, so I had to bring it into the shop. Trish had the day off Tuesday, so Car-girl & I wound up taking the computer in, then did some laundry. She'd thrown up that morning & complained that she felt nauseous, so we didn't have a chance to discuss my latest rejection slip -- from F&SF; it "didn't grab them", & I didn't think that it would -- even though they ask for more science fiction on their web page they rarely peint any of it.
So Wednesday Trish & I went to the Perky Pam Layout where Lisa invented some kind of noodle/meatball concoction. I watched a lot of TV while the machine was in the shop but didn't really play the keyboard at all. I'm saving that for when Trish has her surgery.
Yesterday I also went to the Layout in the morning, then Car-girl's dog got sick & then she had some errands to run. We wound up taking the old printer into Sally Ann's, followed by a trip up to the dollar store for canned goods & a diet Mountain Dew at Taco Jack's. About the time Trish was due to return home from work I had a really severe panic attack & took 1/2 Xanax (& fuck Scientology & the skinny dog). It went away as soon as we drove up & I saw Trish's car there.
They'd taken off all my anti-spyware free downloads, even including Microsoft Defender, not to mention Icy Queue & Weatherbug. I called the guy about it & he said some of those programs contain spyware, but I think that I'll go ahead & re-download Weatherbug & maybe Defender. Everything cost me 50 buckadingdongs & a lot of it I'm not certain I couldn't have done myself (like defragging).
This morning Trish figured out how to work the Weed-b-Gone sprayer so, after she drove to work in her bat-mobile I sprayed down the rock garden in front. Tomorrow she has the day off while she works Sunday & Monday. Tuesday is our anniversary -- & her pre-op. She'll be away from Pizza Hut until the 8th, even though I reassured her we'd still do something for the 4th. Tuesday is also our 3rd anniversary. I want to do something romantic, but haven't decided what just yet.
