Trying to get my composure back . . .



 Can't believe that I actually ended up in tears dealing with tech problems on the computer. The frustration of not understanding how companies work on line and the information I am given when I speak with someone on the phone is more than annoying; it brings me grief unabated by any rational behavior on my part. I absolutely lose my ability to reason as I do believe that some of the people I speak with really don't know what they are doing and I no longer trust the instructions I am given. So, today I signed up for the Geek Squad and hope that it will be helpful! If not I think I may have to throw the computer, the iPad, the iPod and the iPhone into the garbage; better yet I think that I should put them in our covered burn pit and set them on fire! Of course that would probably poison the air in the neighborhood and since the people in our hood are so nice I won't be able to follow through. Oh well, the cardiologists have made me immune to a heart attack with my recent pacemaker/defibrillator implant so I guess I'll just continue to feel sick whenever I have to deal with any thing that deals with 'on line' businesses or social pleasure.

Well that's it for today's complaint. I'm wiped out and disgusted with myself for even worrying about the 'bullshitski!"

Trying to get back to my blog . . .


 Not sure how I'll get back to writing a few words a day but I'm going to try. I need some kind of outlet for crazy emotions but not certain this will do! Oh well, I'll try. At least I'll put up a few photos and a quote once in a while.

Took a drive to Manchac, LA yesterday. P&D's Pop keeps me safe as I roam around looking for something that catches my fancy. The problem is that sometimes that gets me into trouble - like stooping so low to get a particular shot that I can't get back up again. Yeah, that has happened to me and he has saved me from my own foolishness. I've also taken photos of alligators in the wild and thought they were logs until I got home and realized I had photographed an alligator pretty close to the shore from which I took its photo. We always seem to find something interesting to look at. I think that will be it for today. I have to get ready to go out with a friend who will pick me up to go to dinner with a special group of ladies from Immaculate Conception parish. Since I don't drive at night, unless it is an emergency, she has volunteered to drive, me. I certainly appreciate it. Problem is I'm usually tired and ready for down time at about the hour we leave to go out in the early evening! But I am meeting people and perhaps I can be helpful when there are 'things' to be done for the church.
