Good Afternoon Wednesday!!

It is a chilly dreary day today. It’s almost 3:30 p.m. I had some technical difficulty with my computer this morning so I have been working on that situation for quite a while. I finally got my old dinosaur of a desktop computer to connect to the internet. I work on this thing daily. I do have a laptop as well. But I hate the keyboard. So I tend to use this one. Besides the fact that it has all of my programs and files on it. I tried several things and could not make it work. So I unhooked the extra drive I have for backup and went to my laptop. I was just deciding to dismantle this dinosaur and put my other computer on my big desk when I thought let’s restart it one more time and see what happens. And it connected just fine. So I moved everything back around on my desk. And I went to work loading some of the files and programs onto my laptop just in case. That is what I have been doing with occasional breaks. I know it is eventually not going to come back so I need to prepare for it.

What a blah day. Yesterday was very much the same. And I just could not shake my depressive mood. Today isn’t as bad. But that is probably because I have been busy up until a few minutes ago. From the looks of the forecast, we aren’t going to get much better weather for a while. Currently, it is 44 degrees. We are not supposed to rise much higher in temps for the next 10 days. And there is rain in the forecast for the next few days. The grass will certainly grow. I am not liking it. I am not able to get outside and walk much. Today I haven’t at all. It messes with my head and my mood.

I am going to run to the library when I finish this entry and drop a book off and pick one up. If it isn’t raining then I will try to get a short walk around the park square. I have a few videos I can use to walk inside but it’s just not the same.

There is a really good book that I read some time ago that is being made into a movie. Reese Witherspoon and Oprah I think are part of making it possible. The book is “Where the Crawdads Sing” by Delia Owens. It has been a while since I read the book so I reserved it at the library so I can read it again before the movie comes out in July. That is the book I am picking up. These two women are instrumental in getting quite a few books made into movies. So I am excited about this one. Check out the book.

This week I have been so mixed up on my days. Thinking Monday was Sunday. And today was Thursday. Not sure why. I thought I got my social security check yesterday when I first woke up. Checked my bank and was almost in a panic and I realized that yesterday was only Tuesday. Crazy me. Funds were in the bank bright and early this morning. Yay!!

I was going to go grocery shopping today and I talked myself out of it when I started working on the computer. I will go early tomorrow. I want to run by the Dollar Store so I can pick up some things for Quinn’s Easter basket. I will do that first. Then go to Aldi and then Walmart if I need to. I have my list made. So I will get up early and shower and try to leave here around 9 a.m. at the latest. I have some things to drop off at the Goodwill also. I will try to not be tempted to go inside. We will see how strong I can be. Lol.

I don’t think there is much on tv to watch tonight. So I will probably read. Or I could tap into some of the new things that have been added to Hulu and Netflix. I will decide after I eat dinner.

I think that is about it for now. I am going to try to get that walk done before it rains again. I will also drive up and see what the price of gas is today. Hopefully, it will be down more. The last time I checked it was $3.79. Off to the library first.

Later,
