On Saturday I spent several hours trying to work on both computers, setting up things and trying to do the solar stats. I wasn’t very successful on either front and gave up at noon, exhausted.
I was up in the night Saturday night and found 2 roses on the island. My son works in a restaurant and Saturday night is the last night until Thursday next week. So he brought me home roses left over from the tables. I thought that was sweet of him.
Sunday morning I got up and got a load of dishes in and made water with food for the roses and gave them a vase. And then it hit me.
I’d made it through Valentine’s Day okay and thought I was home free. Nope, the grief was back in force and knocked me flat. My husband had always given me flowers, often roses for Valentine’s Day.
I ended up sleeping most of the morning and then when I turned on M.A.S.H. it was the 3 or 4 episodes when Radar leaves to go home and that hit me. I don’t usually cry at movies, but my resistance was pretty low.
Mid afternoon, Tom showed up on the milk run and he fixed a few things on the computer. I can now frame photos again, so my desktop has a framed picture.
He got the printer working too. Then he loaded my obsolete Expressions program and we found the files.
I had my pretty home pages back! Much better than looking at Google. He did a couple other things and had to leave at 5PM. So the computer is serviceable now.
He expects I’ll find other things for him to fix and he’s probably right.
On Monday I hope to be able to work on the solar stats and maybe finish them. I also have to do laundry and clean up the kitchen. It’s to be sunny but cold and windy so that will help.
