What? Another year come and gone?
Time has a way of slipping away. All the good intentions of the previous year have been carried over and are waiting for me to act on them. I acknowledge the fact that I am a procrastinator, but I'm going to try and squeeze as much into a day that I can. I try to sort out what's important. Laundry or writing, walk the dog or write a few paragraphs of the manuscript - Arethusa. My blog.spot has changed, left me a bit confused. I seem to have lost a couple months of blogs, they've disappeared into the void of the net. I wish I could keep up with it all. I need a new printer. That started a journey that has taken weeks. I bought one, only to find out that it didn't work on my computer, so I took it back and got a different one, only to find out that something was wrong with my internet connection, it appears all printers these days have a wireless component and I only had one of the two broadbands that I was supposed to have, whatever that means. So the printer wouldn't work, I had to take it back. Then began a series of trying to fix the problem. I finally hired a computer guy, Shawn and he figured out with the help of the internet provider that my modem needed to be replaced. Yeah, an upgrade, faster and more efficient. So then a friend loans me a printer that has worked for her in the past and I try to hook it up to my computer, LOL, hahaha, wrong, the old PC printer does not recognize my MAC. So here I am weeks later and no printer. But now that I have this upgrade in modem I can get any printer that will hook up to my mac. At least I hope so. I'm going printer hunting at Best Buy, those guys know what they're doing. Me I'm a dinasaur. So you can see where all my time goes, I fritter it away trying to figure out how to print a few pages from my latest book. Tuesday I will take my third trip up cape to find a printer. They say the third time is the charm, lets hope so. Happy New Year, let's hope is moves slow and steady. Fair winds.
