This and that

wiseheartIt is still hot; well, actually, we are expecting some heavy rain, which means we can't leave the windows wide open... right now when it's getting a bit cooler. Annoying.
I finally got Mum's medicine and did a bit of grocery shopping on my way back. Not much, but it was needed at the moment. Running out of milk counts as a tragedy in our house. ;))
My main PC is acting up; or rather the outdated operations system does. It still runs on Windows 7 and it's apparently no longer works as it's supposed to do. Every time it updates itself someone goes south. It started with the frigging Solitaire site, and now I can't properly access Pinterest, although it comes in without problems on my iPad and on my smartphone. Getting a new operations system is a pain in the derriere. First, I need to find someone who deigns to come and install it. Then I have to learn how to use it. *shudders*
The only good thing today is that I've actually finished the chapter I've been working on for... well, for a month or so. I've also restructured the Enterprise - The Maiden Voyage series. Meaning that it will become an actual series, with the originally planned story as the first part and - by the sight of it - five or six more (much shorter) stories following. That's the plan. Whether I'll live long enough to actually write all that stuff is to be seen.
Edit: Pinterest is back... hopefully for the good. *fingers crossed*

Date: 2024-08-28 01:53 am (UTC)We have had sweltering heat for days. But this morning a huge storm passed over us just as I was logging my groceries from the store to the farthest spot in the parking lot. The winds were fierce, I could barely hold my cart, and I was completely drenched. Tomorrow the air will be nearly 30 degrees cooler! I can't wait. I hope you will be able to enjoy some cool breeze!!
Your poor PC... One of these times it's not going to be able to handle the system updates. I fear my 14 yr old laptop is heading in the same direction. Ugh.
Good luck to you and hugs to you and Mum!
