Crisis & Computer

 Hi Everyone, what a week we have had, my birthday visitors, then a few very disturbed nights with the culmination of my son admitted to hospital, coming home, then readmitted. Then my computer updated, that's supposed to be good isn't it? 

Thankfully my son is on the mend, a bit fragile, but hopefully home today. 

My computer is another story and that is why I am writing this post. I will be taking a break from everything, i.e. commenting, until I can sort things as I had them and know what is where etc. I was very lucky that both my son and eldest brother saved my documents etc on a hard drive. Although I lost all my programs, including my wonderful diary boo hoo. I had so many reminders, dates, appointments and DT details on there, which are all now gone. I know it could be a LOT worse. At least I have my document files folder intact. 

It takes so much longer for me to work as things are, due to no program to do something, or it's a new one that I have to get used to the way it works, so after I sort everything, I hope I will be back with a quicker 'puter that I know where everything is and is recognisable to me. 

I have my phone for emails etc, but I'm useless at using it for anything other than emails and the phone! Must be an old age thing? Nah! not me. 

I'll see you all as soon as I can. Keep safe and well

So sorry to hear the news about your Son Faith, so distressing for you and so frightening for your Son. I hope he manages to stabilise and gets back to feeling better.
Bloody computers, I really wish we could do without them, but that's not possible in this day and age. I constantly think I was born into the wrong century.
You take care and see you when you get some time and your computer fixed, Kate x

Oh dear, Faith! When it rains, it pours. Big hugs to all of you, praying your son recovers fully! And so hoping that you are able to get happy with your computer again. At least you have a couple weeks until the 1st and your big DT postings. Great good luck with the technology, xoxo

Hope your son makes a full recovery Faith and that you get your computer sorted very soon. I always dread updates and am manic about doing backups - I do one at the end of every day and another weekly one to a different drive. Hope to see you back very soon xx

Sarn said...

Oh crikey - that is a nuisance about the computer. It’s like wading through treacle when programs change isn’t it?

I’m late seeing this post as I’m playing catch-up, but I hope your son is recovering well.

Hugs, Sarn xxx

Bless you Faith, it sounds as if you've had a terrible time of it. I'm so sorry to hear your son has been ill but I hope he will recover quickly. Having computer troubles on top of all of this must have knocked you for six. Sending lots of love and prayers your way. Hugs, Vicky x

So sorry to hear your son hasn't been well & hope he has a good recovery. Bummer about the computer! New phones & new computers are something I dread rather than enjoy, so I understand what you're going through. Hope the computer turns out not to be too hard to get used to.
