This Morning's Sunrise Was Quite Lovely

[mlerules]

The day's gone downhill since then. Spent two (2) hours on the phone w/tech support being walked through the process of archiving & reinstalling the laptop's operating system. Now I'm supposed to reinstall any/all 3rd party software, which is tricky, since the Office disks are in SoCal w/the ex. Thus, all my directions and recipes saved handily on my 'puter ain't so handy after all.

Meanwhile, despite taking it easy and hoping 'twas just a temporary thing, yesterday's on-again-off-again nausea and tummy pain has returned w/a vengeance, only not so on-again-off-again now. I dislike abominable abdominal crampings. Feels like someone's gripping my guts and now and again squeezing tight. Although several trips to the ceramic shrine resulted in no offerings, it felt better to kneel, just in case. At least I've managed to choke down four (4) Saltines and a mug of mint tea.

Not quite sure what to do 'bout this. I've got plans: places to go, people to see, things to do, stuff to cook. Will see how I feel in an hour. Blah.

EDIT: And since two (2) people have now asked, no, sadly I have no ginger in the house.

LOL - and it hurts to LOL - so L-OW-L.

[sheistheweather]

Let me know. *hugs*

Two options:

1. Upload your files to Google Documents (sign into Gmail, it will be on the top line of the screen - if it's not there, search for google docs and sign up. They can read all the major file types, and have so far dealt fine with Office documents.

or

2. Install Open Office (http://www.openoffice.org/) This is an Office replacement (free) which on my computers at least is a bit slower than office to open up, but once open everything is fine. There is even a portable version for USB drives which has saved my bacon on more than one poorly equipped computer :-)

Luck!

Oh. Coo-el. Thx!

[twistedcat.livejournal.com]

mint tea?

[mlerules.livejournal.com]

To have something in my tummy in case stuff comes out where it shouldn't. Anything wrong w/mint tea? Sometimes it makes me feel better. And it's a type I don't take w/milk so seemed wiser than other options.

I hope you feel better soon...

Stupid meat bag, it always seems to pick the most inopportune time to shut down, kinda like computers - bastards. I hope you feel better; nausea and tummy pain are no fun and less fun if you have to do something functional like drive. *hugs without shaking or squishing the tummy*

[vismaya-viewer.livejournal.com]

LOL! When all else fails . . .
