Adventures of the computer challenged!!!!

I have wanted to post, have not forgotten how, but have had some very interesting challenges.

As you know my o's have been 0's and I could hardely make it do the o.s every once in a while.
Well I had this account set up so that it would remember my sign in cause you guessed it, there were o's in it. So I tried to log in and for some reason it wouldn't bring up my info. I tried for over a couple of hours to make it work....nada nothing......boy talk about frustrated.

So a wonderful friend had given me her notebook which she didn't use as much cause she knew my laptop was getting a little sick. So it comes and I think I have to get a modem for it.
So I decided to go check out what I might need and what the cost will be. So I go into the computer store and am talking to the young man when my fingernail catches on the notebook only to reveal the cover where the dial up phone connection is, right there in front of my eyes.
Do I need the xtra, nope, I had had it all along......lol....so I waited for what......hmmmmm
frustration, silliness, ahhh a learning lesson.

The day was adventurous as well cause went out to go do this and my car wouldn't start, got it jumped and went to get it fixed, made one stop, not a good idea, so had to get car jumped again.
At first the news was really not good, it needed a battery, okay, that I could understand and then they told me it needed a started and that puppy wasn't cheap!!!!! And out of the budget range, so I am sitting there thinking and my dh looks at me and I look at him, I had forgotten to tell them about the anti theft mecahism my goofy little car has, if it isn't in place that little car will not start. Guess that proved it, we laughed and then went and explained. Yep, car started like a charm. What a day!!!!! Came home going I think I need a nap. Yep and I took one.

So now that all my little quirps have been worked out I shall get to blog a bit more. Thankfully I could remember my password!!!!!! Wouldn't that have just been my luck.....lol

Other than that thankfully it has been a little bit more of ordinary life.

My Christmas was quiet, which I really truly appreciated. Had small dinner with dh, grands came and opened their presents, naps, watched movies. Yep, quiet after all the challenges lately was a nice reprieve. And don't we all need those moments where we can catch our breaths, yes, we sure do.

Like Mary E. says LIFE IS JUST SO DAILY. Sometimes I have felt like that, when you get weary and life happens and you are trying to just take it as it comes. So you grab those moments of quiet and hang on to them when the storms come and you wonder how in the world you will deal with this. Eventually the answers come and the storm passes.

I think one of the things I want to be remembered for is hope in the midst of the storms, knowing who truly is in charge, (no that would definitly not be me, cause I make a mess of things!!!!!) and being able to trust Him when I cannot see or understand. That is true character to me.

Now ya all, take those breathers, enjoy the rest of this season, and remember new beginnings are just around the corner.

0h n0 time flew bef0re I knew it

I cann0t believe this is the 16th and the last p0st I did was 0n the 2nd. what happened t0 the time. I th0ught it had 0nly been a week. Sh0ws h0w wr0ng I was. It seems like life happens and y0u g0, where did the time g0.

Last week was a challenge f0r me with s0me family tr0ubles. N0thing that G0d cann0t w0rk 0ut. But here is what I am still learning ab0ut myself. I want t0 help and make it better. Is that my j0b? N0. Will it change any 0f the circumstances? N0. Are there c0nsequences t0 ch0ices we make, g00d 0r bad? Yes. S0 what can I d0? Pray and be supp0rtive, but it is n0t my burden t0 carry. Careing and c0mpassi0n are part 0f wh0 I am, but it d0esn't mean I can take things 0n. Can y0u believe I am still learning that at this age, but yes, I certainly am.

Then dealing with the new physically challenges, learning t0 accept the energy levels that I have. At times it is n0ne and I need t0 be resting, 0ther times it is spurts ab0ut which I get really excited. But each 0f these situati0ns causes me t0 make ch0ices, learning t0 make wise 0nes d0es take time. Can I accept where my b0dy is at? I can fight against it 0r deal with the reality 0f where I am at right n0w. I am learning t0 d0 the later. By fighting it I am using up the preci0us energy that I have t0 be frustrated and mad. It w0n't make the circumstances change, but it wastes the time that I have that I c0uld be d0ing s0mething that brings a smile, 0r enc0urages an0ther.

I make s0 many ch0ices daily that I didn't really think ab0ut bef0re, I d0 n0w. I sh0uld have been paying a little m0re attenti0n. Maybe that is 0ne 0f the less0ns I am learning. I will make s0me g00d ch0ices, s0metimes great 0nes, s0metimes 0nes that I will be shaking my head g0ing what in the w0rld was I thinking. But that is all 0kay. Taking resp0nsiblity f0r my ch0ices past and present all0ws me t0 live a real life. If I want t0 make a difference then I have t0 be real.

H0pe y0u all are enj0ying the seas0n, realizing that it is the relati0nships that matter and n0t the things.

later,

Still sn0wing, but warming up.....ahhhhhhh

I have been sitting 0n the c0uch watching the sn0w c0me d0wn, it is a very wet sn0w. They way we will have rain t0m0rr0w.......ahhhhhhh.......but it is just the start 0f winter. We have a big pine tree in 0ur yard that is way t00 cl0se t0 0ur h0me, 4 ft is a bit cl0se and they will be taking it d0wn this year. Right n0w the sn0w is s0 wet that the sn0w fr0m the pine literally g0es pl0p 0n 0ur r00f....l0l. It makes the 2 little d0gs that we have bark every 0nce in a while cause they think s0me0ne is at 0ur d00r. Sheeessshhhhh......

S0 I had this brillant and needed idea t0 straighten up my sewing r00m t0 make it m0re useful f0r me. I d0n't kn0w what p0ssessed me cause right n0w I am in the middle 0f abs0lute cha0s. I did it cause I really needed t0 find a certain material I had, then I had t0 m0ve the ir0ning b0ard that had a huge pile 0n it, then I had t0 m0ve and it g0es 0n and 0n. F0r such a small space I can make a disaster in n0 time. Isn't that just the way. In small spaces y0u start 0ne small pr0ject and it tends t0 spread big time. Y0u see this started 0ut with me m0ving a c0uple 0f things in the living r00m yesterday later m0rning, and yep y0u guessed it things headed right f0r that sewing r00m. N0w they have t0 g0 in their sp0ts. Where are their sp0ts, I have n0 idea right n0w!!!!!! Creative pe0ple can be messy, right n0w that is a maj0r understantment!!!!! Yes, I am laughing, what else is 0ne g0ing t0 d0. Thr0w a fit, I d0n't even have r00m t0 d0 that right n0w..........yes, makeing myself laugh again.

Ahhh, it matters n0t, I have a r00f 0ver my head, heat and light and f00d, truly what else d0es 0ne really need. Needs meet, great gratitude f0r that. What c0unts is the relati0nships that I have, they are what truly will make the impacts. F0r each 0ne I am grateful.

0k, this girl really needs t0 find a little bit m0re fl00r r00m, t0 dance with the Christmas music I have g0ing!!!!!
