One day at a time...

My weeks are just getting crazier and shorter! Last weekend, I tried to do my mom a favor and had a friend get my old Gateway computer up and running for her. Then, I got it sneaked into her house and all hooked up so she'd be ready to go. I even bookmarked all her IE favorites so that would be the same when she opened it. Well, I don't know how much can really be the same when one is used to Windows 98 and I put in an XP. But I also transferred her flowering crab onto her screen like she was used to, so there wasn't any immediate shell-shock. It took her a while to figure out why everything was so different, but she was happy! But, within the first 12 hours, she lost power. It was the power supply we switched out, so I have no idea what happened there, but it just wouldn't start back up. So, first thing Monday morning, I ran up to Mom's to hook up the old Compaq. I think it has about 3MB of memory or so. Really fast, too. But anyway, I found the poor girl cleaning her house, so I knew I had to do something. I got her fixed up, then headed home to my computer. As soon as I got there, my chiropractor called to say that I missed my appointment and Grandma Rose was pulling up on her lawn mower with some flowers that needed transplanted. Everything always happens at once. Anyhoo... Clyde was very helpful with the flowers! The chiropractor rescheduled us for the afternoon, which all worked out well. Matthew went with me because of his allergies and afterwards I got so hungry I was getting a bit shaky, so I headed up to the DQ. Matthew was completely shocked that there was a DQ in Plattsmouth. There are some things that I don't tell a car full of kids that I just might share with one!
Well anyway, that was last week and I have so much to tell about yesterday but have to get going. I do the name tags at church and have to get there pretty early, so I must move! I'll finish later! Always later!
