I've spent the last few hours looking at hurricane coverage between CNN and TWC. The Bahama's has taken a beating, Florida is now under a gruelling assault from slow-moving Frances. Parts of the state are now in full-storm alert and can you believe there are still a few knuckle-heads trying to surf. At any rate, I hope they'll have sense enough to come in out of the storm, once they've satisfied their need to challenge the waves.
As I sat at my computer, I thought about a poem I had read over 30 years ago entitled "I Made It Through The Weekend Without You". Strange I would recall this poem, but oh so appropriate given my present state of my emotions. However, I have made it through the weekend and I'm alive and I'm kicking and I'm getting on with things present and future.
Yesterday evening I wrestled with my cell phone and computer, both of which kept going out and off on me... all evening. Boy, was that frustrating. The problem with the cell seemed to be more with my phone than with the provider. My resolution was to call T-Mobile to send me a replacement phone. The computer was another story... each time I tried to log into blog, it shut down. This issue was resolved by running my adware, spy-ware, and clean-up programs. I then immunized my pc and made sure security and firewall programs were in place. This morning my machine is running smoothly. In my early years as a home pc user, I would have gladly taken a sledge hammer to my pc, because I was so sure it was the pc and not operator error. These days I'm a little more confident as a user and I have learned to research and troubleshoot minor and sometimes a few major pc problems, not only for myself but for my friends. If nothing else, using my pc has helped me to develop patience. Patience is a wonderful virtue.
