The maddening computer problem got worse. I finally ended up digging out my old desktop computer (running XP Pro) so I could get online. I'm glad I didn't get rid of it!!! I can't use my speakers on it because I misplaced the jack adapter.....yes, it's that old. LOL!
I was able to troubleshoot and get online with the newer one, until last night. After I made a backup thumb drive, hoping to be able to boot it from there, I shut it down. Now I can't even get it to reset. I starts, but gets to about 30% if the installing process, and goes black again. I watched a couple of videos for fixes, and one looks promising....but it uses the command prompt, and I'm so rusty in DOS, I'm worried I'll make it worse.
So I'll wait for the tech to come out and fix it, and use the time I'd normally waste online to do something productive.
I went out with the ex last night. I was happily surprised that the restaurant had a low carb option listed! Blackened grouper filet with lettuce and tomato in a low-carb wrap! It came with a jalapeno vinaigrette, and it was awesome. I was only able to eat half, but brought the rest home for lunch today. It'll be interesting to try to log the meal...
We had a couple of cocktails, and played backgammon for about 3 hours. It was a lot of fun, and I won. Every game. Hehehehehe!
I hope your Monday goes better than mine has, so far!
