Thursday Thoughts: I Need a Dirnk

Sweet Baby Jesus, grant me the strength. I can’t even. Yesterday was the day from hell. Today starts round 2. I hate–absolutely HATE!–with eye-stabby fierce hate when $h!t doesn’t work the way it is supposed to, especially when I’ve paid a great deal of money for it.

The wireless keyboard and mouse that came with the new computer would not sync. I don’t think the keyboard works period. It’s supposed to have a light that shows when in use. The light comes on when I fiddle with the batteries then it goes out. Computer settings says it doesn’t exist. Same with the mouse.

I’d planned on using my plulg-in ergo keyboard anyway. And my wireless mouse has a dongle thingy. New computer is mosty up and running but I still need to use the old one for stuff and to eventually “decommission” my stuff so it can go to Stormy.

I love LG. He called in the middle of me having a meltdown. He was out and about and planned to stop at Wallyworld. He was calling to ask if I needed anything. I was sharp and short and said something about a pitcher of margarties because Toby has just knocked my coffee mug over, I was dealing with a BIOS update that could have wiped out my computer, and Toby had gotten in the closet and chewed two pairs of my shoes. I hung up on him. He brought me some sort of pre-mix thingy that freezes and is margarita flavored but wine based. Bless his heart.

Microsoft and HP are not playing nice. Windows Hello says there is no camera. The camera words in evry other app.

I think all my files are intact and transferred. I am having to do software piece by piece. When I quit yesterday, I had Google Chrome, Drop Box, and Scrivener. All my Scrivener files are in Drop Box so those are good to go. I have more to track down and install. It sucks.

I think I’m ready for that wine now. How’s your day?

    :HUGS: Not for the first time, I wish I lived closer. I’m not sure if I could figure it all out, but at least I’d be there to share your misery (and your margaritas :wink:). Yay for LG. He’s a good man. Naughty Toby…. be a good boy for your new mommy. Hang in there, hon. Here’s to today being a better day. :hugs:

    I have hopes for being productive today, but I’ve said that every morning lately and I still wind up the day with nothing to show for it, except baked goods. Monday, I made muffins. Tuesday, it was pizza. Yesterday, bread pudding. It was all good, except I forgot to put the sugar in the bread pudding. Thankfully, I added maple syrup before I baked it and a glaze after, but it’s still not sweet enough. Ah, the little trials and tribulations of my life.

      Toby is a smuck. He ate the only bra I had that fit. We’ve bought him so many damn chew toys trying to find something that will keep him from eating shoes, pillows, etc. I may have to break down and make hime a “lovey” that smells like us that he can drag around with him. 🤦‍♀️

      Supposed to be cooler next week. We’ll be productive then, okay?

    I’m sorry it’s been such a pain in the butt. I hope when all is set and done that you like this new gem.

    LG is so sweet.

    My foot is keeping my day from being too grand ☹️.

    I hope your day is much better than yesterday!

      I’m still “tuning” the new machine. I think I shall name it Beetlejuice. Sorry about the foot. I was hoping it would be better. 😒 LG is sweet–most of the time. LOL Hang in there!
