I have no one to blame but myself, but I sure do wish I had someone else to blame.
I am so messed up. Somehow I missed my morning medication on Thursday. Which meant I laid around, got nothing done and followed that with something like 20 hours of sleep.
Then I was so groggy I forgot Friday's meds......slept more.....and forgot Saturdays.
I took them when I woke today....but that was 3pm.
Now it's 11:30 and I am going to have to force myself to sleep.
When I am awake, I am fighting with the laptop. I love this laptop. It has accompanied on so many adventures. It was a gift from a good, good friend, Mary and her brothers. It was my constant companion during chemo, the transplant and the recovery. About a year ago, Mary asked if I still used it. I replied that it slept on the other pillow in my bed, like a lover. LOL!
But little things have been going wrong. The battery won't hold a charge despite changing the battery and the charger. And I got a virus, and after cleaning it, there was damage. It's hijacked my search capability and I've lost files and Flash.
Don't get me wrong, I won't give up, and if I fix it, it will still be useful plugged into the wall......but the time for a new portable device is in the near future.
Speaking of new things, I finally broke down and got a Kindle. Holy crap! What was I waiting for. I paid $50 for a refurbished device with an Amazon Local deal. Very happy.
So, I'm off to bed. My Dad is on alert to remind me about the morning meds.
I don't know if this will help, but my SIL must take meds or go crazy, literally. We use her cell phone as an alarm 3 times a day. Just a thought...
ReplyDeleteHopefully things are better today and you were able to go see Battleship - If so, how was it?
ReplyDeleteThe alarm would be great if when it sounds I remember what it's for, lol.
ReplyDeleteIt would be better if I could schedule my hot flashes, because I always remember my pills when that happens!
Tom, yet again I got distracted. That same movie club was showing "Snow White and The Huntsman". I liked that.
I'll try again tomorrow.
The Snow White movie previews did look cool, I forgot it was out. We may just have to hit that one up this week.
ReplyDeleteYou need the nagging alarm - the one that tells you why it's going off!
ReplyDelete"Time to take the pills! Time to take the pills!"
Here's a Linux version - http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/wakeup-alarm-clock-tells-linux/
The problem with which is that it is Linux, which may just be the OS that you need to fix the computer.
Hey Kiddo - I just saw this - I'm going away for a week of manlyman fishing to Cuttyhunk and Block but give me a jingle if you are still having issues and I can remote into it and maybe fix a few things for you next week. You may have my email still & if not - just holler.
ReplyDeleteKindles are awesome. Glad you got one.
