My Computer is Back up and Running!!!!

Hey everyone, hope all of you are fine and enjoying this beautiful fall weather! Our computer has been on the blink and I just got back online yesterday (Friday, Oct. 9th). When I came home from the mountains 2 weekends ago, the computer wasn't working properly and had to go to the shop. We got it back and then our internet provider was not working right and had to be replaced with another provider. We got everything back up and running on Friday. When the Time/Warner man came yesterday, I could have kissed him, I was so excited!!! I was beginning to suffer from withdrawal, not having my computer "fix" each day.


It has taken me a long time today to weed through my 1,000 emails and take care of my correspondence, etc. I can't win for losing. A while back my camera broke and I got a new one. I am learning how to use it, but I am still no expert yet by any means. I will upload my pictures from the past 2 mountain trips, etc. and try to put some online this week. If I don't have any luck, Adelaide will be coming home for Fall break on Wednesday and can give me some help.


I went from a broken camera to a broken computer and in between all of this, our water had to be shut off due to an underground water leak that we did not know about. We ended up having to get a new water line put in from the street to our house. Our little dog and I went to stay with my parents and my husband went and stayed with his parents this week. Needless to say, I got NOTHING done all week, since I was not able to be at home. I did enjoy being with my parents, but I felt like my week was lost.

On my day off on Friday, I was able to get a lot done around the house and begin to get caught up on things. I want to get everything in order for Adelaide's visit with us over Fall break. I can't believe that half of her semester will be over when she gets home this week. It just seems like yesterday that I took her up to college in August. It is going to be Thanksgiving and Christmas before we know it!!


I so missed having my computer and getting to read all of your blogs and keep up with all my blogger friends and family. I LOVE my computer and was so lost without it. I am so dependent on it for my daily activities. Take care and bear with me. It will take me a while to catch up with all of you and what has been going on these past 2 weeks!

Love & blessings!
Melinda

    Oh no. What string of mis-haps. Glad to hear you have a new camera and you're back online. Thanks for visiting my blog and becoming a follower. I noticed on your profile that you're a lover of all things blue...so am I, if you couldn't tell on my blog! You'll see lots of blue & white, so visit often.

    Oh so glad you "are back"...we missed you as much as you missed checking in! Surely hope things will calm down a bit as you head into the "busy season" and that nothing else breaks on you:) Glad you stopped by my blog yesterday - today I hope to post some pictures from our recent trip. You know, vacationing as an empty nester definitely takes getting used to?!?! Have a great day!

    Popped over from a link at Southern Inspiration. Glad your computer issues and connection issues are resolved. They are the worst.

    I'm not an empty nester yet, but I have one out the door and another on about 4 years from being out the door so i am almost there!

    Blessings
    Have a great weekend.
