Update / Wednesday Reading Meme
Yesterday's trip to the cemetery went very well. I completely misjudged the amount of time it would take me to walk from the last bus stop to the cemetery. I literally thought it would take double the time -- I must have been thinking about how long it was there and return! And then my nephew Robbie got stuck in traffic -- he lives in Niagara Falls so about a 45 minute drive away -- so in the end I got there almost 1.5 hours ahead of my sister, brother-in-law and nephew! I hadn't been able to find a trowel (Margie had all the supplies) so I had brought a spoon (!!) and a towel to kneel on, and I got to work digging out the weeds. It literally took me the entire time to clear out about 80% of it! It's just because the roots go down sooooooo far that it takes forever. And I'll go back in a few weeks and there will already be new ones sprouting. So frustrating.
Anyway, everything is all prettified now so it'll be lovely to visit. And since I can now walk without a lot of pain I'll be able to visit more often.
While visiting with Robbie I asked him about all my computer internet issues. The first thing he suggested I do is upgrade to Windows 11. He said something may be trying to access something else that it can't find because I haven't upgraded... I do not know what those somethings are but I will listen to my tech-savvy nephew. I'm trying to upgrade now. The issue? The internet connection doesn't seem to be stable enough to give the upgrade time to download. UGH. There IS a solution for that -- I can plug directly into the modem/router/whatever-it-is -- but I need Amy for that and she's gone to the States today.
Aaaaaanyway. Until this is fixed my current goal is to try to continue my regular LJ/DW posts (Music Monday, Wednesday Reading Meme, Let's Get Healthy, and my book reviews). I may be able to check flist, but yesterday when I tried to reply to the comments I had my internet would literally die every.single.time I tried to reply, so between refreshing and sometimes re-typing it took me 3-4 minutes for each reply to post. Ain't nobody got time for that.
So. I'll do my best, and sorry if I don't reply to something you send or say.
Hopefully this Windows 11 update -- if I can get it working -- will help. If not, Robbie has said that I can call him and he'll try to walk me through a few other things.
Now. Wednesday Reading Meme
What I Just Finished: Since last Wednesday I read Hot Seat by Eli Easton & Tara Lain, Your Guide To Not Getting Murdered in a Quaint English Village by Maureen Johnson, and Ex-Heroes by Peter Clines.
What I'm Reading Now: I'm almost finished The Invasion by Peadar O'Guilin, sequel to The Call. I'm really enjoying it.
What's I'm Planning To Read Next: I think next will finally be Dry by Jarrod and Neal Shusterman, because it has to get back to the library next week.

Okay, folks. Wish me luck.
