I spent a bunch of money to have a Nerd come and fix my puter and add some programs. Among the problems needing fixing was screen freeze.  Did the screen freeze while the Nerd was here?  Don't be silly.  Did it freeze that same evening after he left with my check?

I swear Murphy lives in the innards of my CPU.

The original intention to updating today was to relate my adventures in my closet.  I've been looking for my crochet hooks, and hoped to find them among some yard stuffed away in the back of the closet.  Nope.  No hooks.  Dust a-plenty.  Junk a-plenty.  Carried a boxful out to the dumpster.  But no hooks.

However, my closet floor looks neat now.

In the process of searching and cleaning, I found my cameras.  Well, found isn't exactly accurate.  I knew they were there.  Somewhere.  Anyway.  I have four cameras.  A Polaroid, two that use 35mm film, and a digital.  

The digital I bought when I was visiting Megan last summer.  It has some pictures of the gorgeous scenery around her place.  I intended to post some of them here, but when I look at the process I have to go thru to get the pictures from the computer to DD, I lose courage.  Thirty-one steps.  Surely there's a shorter way to do this.

The newer of the 35mm cameras lets me take three different views.  P-Panorama, C-Closeup, and I forget what the H stands for.  Takes really nice pictures, but I have to take the film to the shop to be developed and then wait to see how they all came out.  I bought that one to replace the older one that needs to go to the camera shop for some remedial help.

The Polaroid I bought years ago, and why I don't remember.  It's great for quickie shots, but the pictures aren't all that good.  Used to have a picture of me on the bottom left corner here, but it got removed for some reason I've forgotten.

On the health front, some improvement.  The pulled muscles have healed, but I'm still coughing.  Bringing up a lot of stuff, which is good, but sure uses up a lot of tissues.  I've had to empty two wastebaskets.  Oh, I guess that's more information than anyone needs, eh?

Tried to get an appointment with my own doctor, but he's booked solid.  Finally got a morning date on the 21st of June.  Well, the knee will wait.  I've nursed it along thus far, and unless it collapses during my evening walk around the parking lot, I figure we can wait a bit longer.

Missy is contentedly asleep in my waste paper box.  Even when I toss in another piece of paper, she's oblivious.  She's wide awake at 5:00am every day, and attacking my toes.  *sigh*  I do wish Megan would invite her to come stay with her half-brother--Missy's half-brother.  Megan has whole-brothers.  I'm sure Missy would love hunting with Meester, and Megan could be presented with TWO snakes or TWO gophers, or whatever they were hunting.

Well, that's it.  I'm going for a walk and see if I can spot Venus before dark.
