Ding-Dong! My computer is dead. The internal drive slowly died and my battery pack can't revive it.
However, I've been writing on my Notepad App and utilizing pen and paper to keep Killer Stilettos going. Been critiquing and beta -reading for fellow authors this way, too. But I can't comment directly onto whatever format they send me. So I jot down notes and email them.
At first Sweetman said, "Cyber Monday is coming. We'll get you a new one." Well, it came and went. No computer was purchased.
Now he says, "After the New Year!" I have a face for this comment.
Oh well...I'll be patient. Besides, the Sweetman has been scheduled for another surgery. The doctors found polyps in his voice box. Patience is a good thing.
Anyone dealing with similar challenges?
Hugs and chocolate,
Shelly
Yes, I'm dealing with quite a bit. The list I made yesterday was about 1/10 of what's going on...the rest is just too much for the average reader.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry to hear about the polyps and surgery. I have vocal chord dysfunction.
Now as to the laptop - wow. I've been there. My youngest spilled a 16 oz glass of milk on my beloved mac. I suffered many months limping along and then during the Christmas ad season, The Engineer surprised me with this slick thing. Not a mac...alas...but it's a laptop, and it's tiny and fast. I'll take it!

I read your blog. Yes. You're dealing with a lot. Chocolate hugs to you.
DeleteYou don't have a word processing app on your phone? I do almost all of my writing on my phone and my Kindle. My computer's been on life support for a while now. I use it only if I absolutely have to.
ReplyDeleteNo. I don't. I'll have to look for that app then. Thank you, Norma.
DeleteBad computer! Bad!
ReplyDeleteSomehow the impending hospital gig is more important though...
Yes. The hospitl gig is way more important. We found out 10 days ago. And yesterday, they secheduled his surgery for next Wednesday.
ReplyDeleteToo bad about your computer. It is good to have other ways to communicate.
ReplyDeleteHope all goes well with the surgery. Think good thoughts.
I'm sorry, Shelly! Tell him Santa had better bring one or else. You can't work on a cell phone forever.
ReplyDeleteThis is trUe. I'm looking at free word processing apps to download so I can write and send to my critters and betas.
DeleteWhat a pain in the proverbial butt!
ReplyDeleteHope the surgery goes well.
Yes. It has been. But it forces me outside of the box. And thank you for the well wishes
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the surgery.
ReplyDeleteMy comp is so old it groans louder than the cat and she's about three hundred years old.
Going to have to put it down - the comp that is, not the cat.
Thank you, Roger. Glad you still have your cat.
DeleteSorry to hear about your computer problems, Shelly. My XP died a few months ago and I lost everything including the use of my Print Shop. Such is the life of technology. We can live with that.
ReplyDeleteI pray all goes well with the surgical procedure and the holidays become good memories!
Thank you, Gail. Hope all is well with you.
DeleteSorry to hear about your computer problems, Shelly. I hope you can get a new one soon. I used to work from my laptop but the poor thing is old and falling to pieces. I was lucky my mother had to get rid of hers (compatibility problems. She had a mac, everyone in the office had the other kind). Now I got me a nice working machine.
ReplyDeleteMy prayers are with you and your family. Hope the surgical procedure goes perfectly.
Oh no! I hope this is all fixed and taken care of very soon!

Me, too. It's not real easy working from the iPhone. But I'm thankful that I have that and pens and tablets.
DeleteUh oh! Sorry to hear about the computer and polyps. Just think of those peeps in the Philippines and you'll feel better. Can't imagine losing as much as some of them have. ((hugs))
ReplyDeleteI also hope that the surgery goes well. You've both been through so much. Good luck getting everything straightened out with your computer. Best Buy has some good holiday deals going, and I'm sure other places do too.
ReplyDeleteJulie
I've dropped by rather late. So I'm hoping that all goes well on every front. The challenges in life.
ReplyDeleteIn peace and hope,
Gary
My life is a series of challenges it seems, some more difficult than others. I think I'd like a little break, lol. Hope you get a new computer soon!
