I know I can’t live without technology, but it sure is a pain the butt. My laptop loads updates periodically at the end of the day when I indicate that I am shutting down. Last night there were 26 updates. Seriously? I left the little beast to do its own thing and I went to bed as I knew it would configure the updates in the morning when I booted the laptop up.
Low and behold this morning, there was a message that I had been notified I was using a counterfeit Windows application for Window 7. Yeah, right. Come and get me. After seven years of using the same application, they are now just questioning it? I went on about my usual checks-ins on the computer and it is still humming right along. More and more, I am enjoying the HP Notebook in my sewing studio. I did question whether I needed the Hp at the time, but while I am taking a break from sewing, or the embroidery design that I loaded is to take 84 minutes, I can enjoy several sips of coffee in between changing the colors of the threads, while looking up something on YouTube. Oh yes, I am so spoiled and I do enjoy all of it without taking it for granted.
In the early days of December, our stackable washer took a dump. For a period of a month and a half, we used the laundromat here in town. It was a godsend. After being back on board with a new unit in the bathroom, it does amaze me as to how much dryer the clothes are coming out of the washing machine. This certainly makes a difference in how they come out of the dryer. We are back to making linty dust bunnies in the bathroom and we are happy campers about it.
If I am not mistaken, several times a week, one or the other of us comments on how we have it made here on Stauffer Avenue.
