My new computer is here

I have been using a friends laptop for a while now as my was lost on the trip home. Well Saturday I was on the phone with my local cable company trying to figure out why my security software wasn't working when the apartment buzzer rang and it was FedEx with my new computer. I wasn't expecting it till Wednesday of this week so it was a welcome surprise. I up graded to a Toshiba with windows 7 on it. Now I have to get used to a new operating system with different features. I no longer have Microsoft word, I have Microsoft Works. I have to figure out how to transfer the files I have on the old computer onto the new one. I want to transfer my journal onto the new computer but I need to find my flash drive and I'm not sure where it is. The last time I saw it it was on the computer table but now it's gone. I'm not sure if the cat got a hold of it or if my oldest son moved it and it fell onto the floor and got lost under the couch. So while my HHA is here I'm going to move the couch out and look under it and get rid of all the junk that has accumulated around it. I noticed that there a lot of stuff that needs to get thrown out and it hasn't been. I'm also going to pull the liner off the bottom in a spot and clean under the couch as well. Maybe that will help get rid of the ants that I can't seem to get rid of.

Speaking of ants, does anyone know how to get rid of them for good. I have tried ant bait and ant cups plus a home remedy my grandfather told me of mixing borax soap and table sugar but I still have ants. They are now all over the window sill because the return bucket had a bunch of stuff in there that hadn't been rinsed before it was put in there. I'm still mad over some of things that were done while I wasn't here but there isn't anything I can do about it now so I have to let it go. I love my friend that stayed here and I know that he just didn't think about things and that's why they didn't get done the way I would have done them. Everyone does things differently and his way of doing things is vastly different from the way I do things. I would never had left his apartment in the condition that mine was left in. He just couldn't keep up with things and my son was no help while he was here. My son isn't any help when he's here with me so what makes me think he'd do it while I'm gone.

So here it is Monday and now I have to call Charter and have them walk me through downloading the cloud drive and security suite again so my computer will be covered. I'm paying for it so I might as well get it on this computer as well. First thing I have to do though is uninstall the Norton security that they put on the computer. I keep getting a message to activate it as I have a free 30 day trial but I don't want it. I should have called Charter yesterday and had them walk me through what I needed to do but I wasn't in the mood to deal with them. So today I HAVE to do it. Wish me luck that I get someone who I can understand and speaks good English. That's a pet peeve of mine, calling somewhere and getting someone who's first language isn't English. They don't understand what your saying and you don't understand what they are saying. In the end I end up frustrated and nothing gets accomplished. I end up just giving up and trying to do it myself.

All in all although I had a pretty good weekend. I had Andrew on Saturday and even over the noise it was nice to see him. He did go outside to play with someone and he took the Nerf gun out with him. He had a lot of fun running around outside and then he came in to finish his homework on the computer. Well that's when we found out that when I changed to Charter's modum/router it didn't let my printer work. I tried everything I could to get the printer to work and in the end it never did. Now with the new computer I had to download new software to get it to work. It's working fine now. I may have to change the color cartridges in it again but it's working fine otherwise.

Sunday I was up, dressed and had had my 2 giant cups of coffee before my ride got here to take me to church. I really enjoy going and I love the people there. I ended up sitting in the lobby for the sermon again because my back was bothering me from sitting on the chair's in the sanctuary so most Sunday's I end up sitting in the lobby. They have 2 recliners out there in a seating group which looks at the pulpit. If you sit in one chair you can see the pastor no matter where he walks on the stage and that's where I usually sit. I love to hear our pastor preach. He always seems to have something good to say that's relivent to what's going on in my live at that time. Yesterday was no exception. Plus it was Father's day so he had a lot to say about that as well. I have to admit I was a little teary eyed because I was missing my Dad even more.

Today is a grey day outside but the bird are singing and that is nice. I love to sit here and listen to them. So people open your windows if you can and just listen to what's happening outside. Try and block out whatever street noises there are and enjoy the birds. Have a great day.
