silver_chipmunkI woke up at a bit past 11:00 and got out of bed somewhat later, had breakfast, and while my coffee was brewing, checked to see if my package from Thriftbooks with Middle Brother's birthday presents, and turned up. I didn't expect anything, but surprise! There it was. So I have his books.
I had the coffee, and started fighting with the computer. At 1:30 I tried to Zoom for the Starsky and Hutch creative work session. Zoom did not work. Would not open. I alternated trying to get in, with using my phone to Zoom in.
Finally I decided to try redownloading the Zoom app to the computer. And that worked. I got in to the Zoom, and had no problem with it. I even managed to get a little work on the story done!
We got off a bit before 6:00, and I tried catching up online on the sites I go to. I loaded Teams and waited til the FWiB was ready at 7:00, and tried to Team. It was successful but then something weird happened an I lost the visual. We restarted the computer and I used my phone til it came up again, then shifted over.
At 8:30 I called Middle Brother. He is fine, looking forward to his birthday, Daylight Savings Time, the first day of spring, and St. Patrick's Day, in that order. I have to talk to RK about getting to him for his birthday.
I finished teaming the FWiB, and had dinner. Then I called the Kid and left a message by text. I went to the bedroom and calledmashfanficchick just to say hi. We talked for a bit, and apparently when we were talking the Kid called, but it didn't ring through.
After I got off withmashfanficchick I saw the missed call from the Kid so I called her back and we talked awhile.
Then I played a little solitaire, then got up to feed the pets. The computer is so far working OK.
Gratitude List:
1. The FWiB.
2. The books showed up.
3. The Starsky and Hutch fandom.
4. The Zoom finally worked.
5. The Kid.
6. Middle Brother is fine.
