So my plans for updating on the weekend fell by the wayside when I woke up on Sunday feeling horrrrible. I spent the day lounging on the sofa and dozing off in an upright position in between reading a book. Then I planned to update on Monday except... I got an "Oh, snap!" webpage on Chrome. UGH. That was happening to me before and I figured it was ( Read more... )

So the tech guy came yesterday and did many things with wires and electrical panels and yay, I am now gazing at my very own modem! I am still soooooooo apprehensive and I swear I have some kind of weirdass PTSD because I am constantly looking at the monitor where the little WiFi icon used to be when I using Amy's internet and checking to see if it' ( Read more... )

Well, I think I'm about at the point where I'm going to have to bite the bullet and see about getting my own internet connection in the top part of the house. I keep getting a 'no memory' message on Chrome, and the source when I google it comes up as 'unstable internet connection'. I can reset the modem/router/whatever downstairs and that'll work ( Read more... )

So, I'm still not around here much and I thought I'd just give a quick update. First, things are still stressful for me. There are some bug-related things. Not roaches or anything normal-people-scary, but practically every bug is scary for me so I have a hard time dealing when things that shouldn't be in my home are just crawling around. I also did ( Read more... )

Aaaaaaaaaaaand this computer doesn't have WiFi. I didn't even know that was possible. But it is very old.

Technology continues to hate me.

I'm back from having a long weekend at Margie and Dan's, where I had a lovely time. Margie made two delicious meals, and on the third night they took me out to dinner as well. I was also spoiled in gift cards AND Margie came up with the idea to let me borrow/have their computer ( Read more... )

What I'm Reading Right Now: I just finished my book last night, so I haven't started anything new yet.

So I'm at Margie and Dan's. I got my computer back for repairs a few days ago and it said they couldn't replicate the issue but they replaced the wireless network card. I brought both computers to my sister's place, and today I decided to set up the new one. First it went through about 2 hours (literally) of updates. Then I logged into the internet ( Read more... )

So, the new computer that I got in March will not connect to the internet at all now. It says that the ethernet cord is unplugged, meanwhile I don't even *have* an ethernet cord. My computer runs off Amy's WiFi. I checked for appropriate drivers and did a few other things. Robbie doesn't know what the problem is. I called the store where I bought ( Read more... )

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 ( Read more... )
