Wednesday and a New Operating System

Yesterday I downloaded and installed Windows 10 on my laptop computer.  I had to go to work before it finished. It froze at one point and couldn't find my hard drive so I called my son, Keith, who is an IT. He walked me through getting it finished. It's going to be different but not awfully different. I will just have to mess with it until I get it figured out. If I decide I like it, I may download it on this desktop computer. This one has a glitch when I reboot. The message says exception EAccess Violation in modul E TeaTimer.exe at 0006E537. Also Access Violation at address 0046E537 in modual TeaTimer.exe, Read of address 00000038. Of course, I don't have a clue what that means....but Keith might.   Oh well.

I slept pretty well again last night. I woke up two or three times but got back to sleep until 5:00AM which is my regular time to get up.

Karan and Bobby brought over homemade vegetable soup yesterday afternoon while I was at the hospital visiting my son-in-law. So I told Bob we would have that for lunch today. I have crackers and I want to get some good cheese to have with it. I still have the cupcakes I made Monday for dessert. We will have the chicken legs tomorrow. I'm not sure how I want to fix them...frying them or baking them in the oven. I will check my cookbooks and decide. It was very good of Karan and Bobby to think of me when they made the vegetable soup.

I wonder how John, my son-in-law, made it through the night. He has his surgery today to drain that infection from his foot.

More later...

John had his surgery this morning and they drained a bunch of infection from his foot.  They plan to release him tomorrow if all goes well. But he will have to go in daily at 7:00 AM and 7:00 PM for IV antibiotics. He is feeling much better today,  I did not go in to see him again. My niece, Denise, was in to see him and he had several phone calls.

I had a bad day at work. I put away dozens of DVDs again and I expected that but Katy also had another project for me. They have this big cabinet that formerly had held the index type cards that was their way of finding every book in the library. She had me empty it of all those cards and box them up and stack the boxes to keep the cards for scrap paper.  The backs of the cards were blank. After I got seven huge boxes done and lifted the boxes to stack them, I was exhausted. Then I had another round of  DVDs to put away before I left at 5:00. I told Katy I was "brain dead".  She couldn't understand why I was so tired.  I told her I had had a rough day. She doesn't seem to understand that I am nearly 80 years old and cannot stand on my feet for four hours every afternoon without becoming exhausted.  Furthermore, I am up and down and up and down putting away the DVDs and the new fiction books. I can get down on the floor but getting up again is difficult.

I have my review with Aime tomorrow. If Aime has no place else to put me..where I might be sitting down at least part of the time in my work, I will give up the job. It's just getting to be too much for me. My left hand is permanently bruised, swollen and sore from the scanning for the inventory that I did until a month ago. It has taken a lot out of me to do this job. It's not worth it. I will simply go back to making one car payment per month until I get the car paid off. I told Bob A. and Leslie, my daughter, both of my decision and they agreed.  If anything unforeseen happens to me and I don't have the car paid off, the kids can easily sell it and pay it off. It is eight years old and only has 62,200 miles on it. The block was new last year when a defect was discovered in it and they replaced it free of charge to me. . It looks really nice too. I keep it immaculate.

It's nearly 9:00 now and Missy and I will go on to bed. I want to use bob's vacuum and vacuum my apartment in the morning before I go to breakfast with the girls at 9:00. I also want to wash my sheets and bedding. I still do not have my vacuum back from Liebert Brothers. So Bob loaned me his.
