Thump, Thump, Thump It's Thursday --- Day 39

Day 39

The day began with the new Together We Can Change The World Radio Show blasting off from Blog Talk Radio . . . Pulled up the page and dialed in . . . then, then, alas, the IE decided it wasn't going to listen. Tried again. Crash. Again. Crash. The whole call was spent attempting to fix the problem. In the process, we have downloaded a new version of QuickTime. Afterwards we learned it wasn't QuickTime that was needed, but there was something about Visual Basic C++ that was causing issues . . . Anyhow. I have no clue how to tell if we have that, so, thought about downloading IE 8 --- they say it still has it's own set of kinks to work out, so, we updated IE and found one critical update that we didn't have. 4 hours later, and 3 reboots later, at least we were able to get back to the radio show and download the show ;-). There's that question that's been asked since the age of computers: Do these things REALLY make your life easier? faster? better? HaaahhaaaHHHAaaahhhahhaaaaa.

Still not feeling great, and just wishing for the bed. Frustration set it with the computer issues, and yet, it sent me into another part of the house to look for something and a whole drawer of papers was cleaned out (from our last 4 moves, those papers that just got shuffled, shuffled, shuffled). So this WAS good, but progress . . . well . . .

Time to get Big Z from school and we came back quickly for an early dinner, knowing that he wasn't 100%. We ate some healthies and listened to the evening call while attempting (that's me attempting, him playing) a game of Pokemon from a new mix of cards he put together. It's beyond me how these little brains, like Big Z's, can remember all these weird characters . . . but they do, and they have fun.

Got back on the machine and it was good to read and post to our Boot Camper friends blogs.

Early to bed, in hopes that Friday will provide vitality and health
;-). And, a successful IE experience with the radio show ;-).
