Wired!
Perhaps you noticed the last post was illegible. The Old Baguette was holding a glass of Pepsi, a large glass of Pepsi. She fell asleep. Two things happened. The Pepsi spilled and drenched her keyboard. It drowned. The Old Baguette woke up when her head hit the computer desk with a loud conk. Yes, she now has sleep apnea. All efforts to mop up the Pepsi failed, so today she bought a new keyboard. Plugging it in was a challenge, particularly since the mouse got unplugged, and the Old Baguette couldn't figure out which plug went where. Dell was extremely helpful, and I am now typing legible words. The wires are on my lap. Oh well. Maybe I can stick them in a flower pot to get them out of the way. The Old Baguette is ready at last to write. She is so inept. Almost as inept as her maternal grandfather. He habitually bought expensive tools to fix broken items like clocks but never fixed anything. Instead, he'd take everything apart and then pile the pieces into a laundry basket. He just couldn't put them back together himself, so he'd hire a professional to do the job for him. Ineptness is a genetic flaw.

Welcome back. Will be looking forward to seeing some posts. Naps, Pepsi, and keyboards is not a good mixture. Good to have you back!
ReplyDeleteWhat an afternoon! I was fitted with a mask for my sleep apnea. I figured out a way of reattaching the sound to my computer. (I feel superior to my inept grandfather at this point.) After the dinner hour, the grandson of a neighbor will help me get my computer tower and the ungodly wires that connect everything where they are supposed to be connected. The cute little portable I used during my college years had no wires. We used special paper that made the erasure of both mental and typographical errors possible, but the final draft never had the crisp look of the stuff that is routinely produced by our printers. That I am attached to my computer surprises me. I am attached to a particular brand of stapler and am almost as fond of office supplies as I am of kitchen supplies, but there is a difference between suppplies and the equipment they serve. Vive la difference? Ah, methinks I hear a knock on the door. My rescuer arriveth.
ReplyDeleteIf the stapler is anything other than a Swingline, that is Un-American. Hope all wires have returned to the homes.
