Right now, the computer works okay, as long as you don't get uppity and think you can just "point and click". Oh, no. This is a bit more like a hijacking, or blackmail. You must move slowly, with your hands up, make eye contact, get to your position and await further instructions. If you don't wait for the hand, well, all heck's gonna break loose and you'll only have to wait longer because of it. And if "they" (the ones that live inside the computer) don't want you to do something, you'd better not try. They can make bad things happen.
Gah.
The computer guy with the whimsical messaging system will be out Saturday. This is great, in that I don't have to unplug or transport anything. And it will force me to declutter the school room.
We did get out yesterday, but who knew the wildlife refuge closes at five? The man at the information desk obviously does not get paid overtime and does not do his job for the love of it. (It wasn't five yet, but he wasn't taking any chances.)
The Refuge Ranger (yeah, I had a hard time not giggling at that title, too), however, is delightful and enthusiastic, and she knows that it takes less time to whip out some interesting tips and leads than it does to stare blankly at people and hope they will think you're a wood carving. We left with some great ideas, and are heading back out for an excursion today. Yay!
What do you like to do to get out of the house?
Kiss those babies!

Let's see....well, to get out of the house these days..(which, as you know is NOT one one of my problems!) we like to go to the bookstore. If we have an entire afternoon, we like to go up on the parkway to hike, or picnic or something like that. Good luck with the computer guy. What a relief not to have to dismantle everything and haul it in! I've been praying for you guys!
We like to go to Skyline Drive and picnic and hike. On a cold day, there is always the mall, Ashleigh's favorite place to hike.
