NewBox is now in my study; OldBox is on a table next to my husband’s computer desk.\u00a0 NewBox is, demonstrably,\u00a0 working–I’m writing this on it in its new place.\u00a0 I do need to hook up the printer again, but in my glee at having NewBox turn on and work, I forgot that and went and washed my hair.\u00a0 Now I have a large wad of wet hair wrapped in a towel, and if I crawl under the desk now to hook up the printer, it will unwrap and drape wet hair and a big damp towel on wires and dust.\u00a0 Not a good idea, for either hair or wires.<\/p>\n
NewBox isn’t complete until I find the other installation CDs for the “minor” software (I put them in a Safe Place.) (Like the Safe Place I put the old Paksworld notebooks and master map, but more recently so maybe I can find them again.)\u00a0\u00a0 Not today, though, as I have to mail books to Arlington for A-Kon.\u00a0 That was supposed to happen yesterday, but other things happened yesterday.\u00a0 Unexpected stuff happens every day, as it does to us all.\u00a0\u00a0 I’m liking NewBox, to my own surprise.\u00a0 Usually I’m “slow to warm” when it comes to new computer stuff, but the way Aging Computer Nerd Rancherfriend helped me set this up, the learning curve hasn’t been too bad.\u00a0 Now to comb out the wet hair, pin it up (yes, wet–don’t have time for sitting outside for it to dry) and getting those books on their way.\u00a0\u00a0 Gym this afternoon.\u00a0\u00a0 Calls to eye doctor and sports med doctor for appointments after A-Kon.\u00a0\u00a0 Then hooking up printer, maybe, but also run to city to pick up son’s defunct computer from friends who’ve been trying to analyze just how it failed, and bring it up here so I can talk to the Lenovo support people where I have my own Windows machine if they want to download something for me to try.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
