missing computer

My computer is at the dr. I bought the extended warranty and had to use it. 10 days before it expired I rushed to the store and reluctantly gave it up. I feel like I'm missing something. It's like I'm not whole. Omg, that thing has become a part of my life I can't live without. I must face it, I'm in love with my laptop. I hope she comes home soon.

today's news

It's state fair time in Iowa. I love to watch it on public tv, but actually going, can't say I've done that for at least 10 years. I wonder what they carved out of butter this year?

My foot has really been a bother this week. I had tons to do before next week's travel. grrrrrr not exactly as planned. I did get my room cleaned up, that's huge progress!

Tonight's outside air is warm and full of moisture. Almost feels like lotion on my skin. I'm not exactly sure of the temp, somewhere in the 70's, just perfect I'd say. Besides smelling clean and fresh it's also very comfortable and comforting in that midwestern way.


Between locusts, frogs, crickets, and several other voices, it's darn loud out! This is supposed to be the year of the 7 year locust, but it sure seems to me they hatch every year. Maybe there are different species or something. I'd think I'd notice if summer air didn't chirp with that certain chorus. Found a shell from one of those locusts who hatched out in my front flowerbed. When I get my computer back, I'll try to post a picture.

My laptop went to the dr. this week and they had to send it away. I feel as I'm missing...something. Not like an arm, but more like when I smoked cigarettes, I never left home without them and I'm never far from them. The up side is I've been writing. Putting my thoughts right to paper, ah such a novel idea that is. Don't know when my computer will return home to me. 3 days to 3 weeks was their guesstament.

I hope everyone out there is healthy and half way happy. It's a great summer, it's clicking away way too fast, but isn't that everyone's thought in August?

Enjoy yourselves and each other!!!

my new injury



for as little as this toe is, it sure hurts a lot!

So I'm at work. I look at this chair sitting in the path of my desk. I think, "self, you should move that chair." Then I walk right by. You know the rest of the story, my next trip by (which I never completely made) I catch the chair with my toe. WAAAAAAA

Okay, well I just sat with my foot packed in ice. (gosh I accidentally found a great excuse to sit & watch a movie) The cold makes it feel a whole lot better. Walking kinda sux tho. Now it's time for my outlaw chick flick. Now that's a new combo...
