As I started to surf this morning letters were missing. First it was just an occasional one, and then capital letters, and then 3/4's of the way through my blog I just plain couldn't type.
Good hint that it might be time to update Norton.
Rebooted 3x. Ran Norton, Ran ScanDisc for errors (found many Oy!) No virus'. But ran Spybot (big suprise there was spyware its gone) And it appears I can type again.
I'm actually suspecting it was ScanDisc that cured it. My kids have been using the computer lately........
I hate sharing.
Dell is advertising $399 for a puter right now....oh is it tempting to get one so I don't have to share!!!
Its the day before payday.
And oh my does it look like it. NO eggs, No sugar, No jam. Wooo its a good thing pay day cometh.
But in the meantime lunch got creative. Phew found some processed cheeze....and the last ten slices of bread for lunch.
Now for creative dinner.....
I think there's still french fries. Oh there's a fair amount of meat in the freezer don't get me wrong, just looking for "kid" fare as Rob works tonight. I may actually have to cook real food.....
And the depression won in my life for about 30 minutes. *sigh* But I cried, and made myself drink 4 glasses of water, and it appears to have lifted.
I *am* tackling the wall paper. Actually my kids did a lions share. Which was really quite funny. "We're GOOD at tearing things!" they announced loudly. And giggled and sang this for over an hour. I think they were even helpful. I should have gone and found my camera....but I was still climbing out of the dark hole I was in.
Fascinatingly enough the wallpaper is backed with gunny sacks. I managed to pull one off intact, and am going to frame it for a laundry room wall. Its kinda cool. Honey Dew Granulated Sugar. I suppose I should keep a piece of the wallpaper too.......it was "kinda" cute. In a 75 year old musty kinda way.
I'm guessing 75. I think it was put up in 1940. That was the year the schoolhouse was sold to the grange. At which time they added the lean-to. Okay so that makes it 60. *snicker* The lean-to was the grange kitchen until 1968. Which would explain the pepto bismal pink on the ceiling etc. :-X White is a GOOOOD color!!!
I suppose I shoulda taken before pictures.....but that would have required finding my camera.....
I do have some OLD before pictures on a disc somewhere. Somewhere being the operative word
Other then that life moves on....just not necessarily at the pace I would prefer.
