Managed to walk around the house some without using the walker today! Even went outside and got the mail. Left leg's still booted for another few weeks, but this shows definite progress.

It almost makes up for my current bout of tech issues. Something's preventing me from burning CDs on my laptop. I tried transferring the songs to another laptop, but these CDs wouldn't burn there either. Perhaps the bottom 2/3 of the current CD spindle are indeed defective.

nough hassling w/it for now. Gonna keep on listening to music and'll eventually get this resolved - or figure out another process to follow. I've had enough good stuff to make today a minor win.

Okay, I think I know what to do - and how to do it - now after re-reading this article for the umpteenth time (thx so much for the turn-on, lightfoote) and talking s'more tech stuff w/my ex-hubby (who knows better than anyone how to explain this sorta tech stuff to me - and a couple of decades of teaching has improved his explaining skills).

daeglan's my new Tech God. He helped me pick out my new cell phone, as mine has decided to refuse all attempts to charge it, whether from the at home device, the in car thingie, or the special other insertion place (it's just not taking anything new in power-wise, although otherwise it works fine...considered passing it along to batosai, but it seemed cruel even if not unusual). Then he helped the guy in the store figure out some stuff on it while setting it up. Now it's fine and fancy and working. Along w/the usual stuff, it takes pics and plays MP3s and takes & plays l'il video clips and does a whole lot more, too. If I want, I can go on-line and do things w/it, but this seems excessive and I'll prolly give that up after the 1st (freebie) month. The olde one's got a bar of energy left which I'll use to (have the Spring technician) transfer all the #s over to the new one o'morrow afternoon. Whee-ya!
