Computer Cleanup

A couple of days ago I spent a morning working on computer cleanup. I'm pretty happy with what I accomplished but I'm still at a loss to really understand where everything is. I'm confused enough that I can't even explain what I mean. Mainly, I can't figure out why certain files are visible on the left menu when I open up my explorer icon.  Next time my granddaughter is here, I'll have to have her sit down beside me and explain it. Meanwhile, I'm not going to lose any sleep over it.

I woke up at 4 a.m. hurting pretty significantly in my hip. No big surprise there as this is something I'm learning to live with. Well, sorta.  Some mornings are better than others and when it's a bad morning, I'm always puzzled why. Tomorrow I have my video appt with the PA about how I'm doing after my second back injection. I'm ready to tell him I want to be referred to a back surgeon as this problem is only wearing me down. I pretty much hurt 24/7 and I'm sick of it!  If I stay seated, most of the time I'm okay but I'm not willing to stay seated for the rest of my life.

I did manage to get a little sewing done this morning after I did the crossword and wordle. I'm working on making some strips squares as they're easy and make a nice looking quilt when you're done.

The neighbor lady next door gave me a small bag of scraps so I sat down and cut them into strips. She's leaving today for about a month. Going to house sit in Puyallup.

A couple nights back I decided to browse Hulu, Netflix, and Prime to see what I could put in my favorites so I'll have stuff there all ready to watch in the evenings. Hulu had a lot of old tv shows that I never watched so I thought I would give them a try. I put in Brothers and Sisters, How I met your mother, and Desperate Housewifes. Two I watched just a bit and decided they weren't my cup of tea. B&S I gave a little bit more time but eventually, that show annoyed me too. Mainly because I've never liked to watch or listen to Calista Flockhart. She gets on my nerves so I deleted that one too!

I seem to enjoy reality tv about Alaska more than anything. I went to watch Port Protection as I had viewed it a few nights back and really liked it. Unfortunately, now it's set up so you can only watch one episode a week and you can't access old seasons. Damn it! Hate it when they do that! I guess I'll continue to search the Discovery Channel and see what other shows are out there that I've more or less not noticed.

I've got to remember to change my font when I start typing. I never notice until I've already done a few paragraphs.  Anyhow, I have a 1000-pc jigsaw puzzle set up and have the border done so that's gonna be my hobby of choice today. I have a bad feeling, however, that one lousy edge piece is missing. I spent a lot of time last night hunting for it and finally gave up. I'll keep going on it without the edge because setting up that many pieces is too much trouble to just box it up again.

I've been listening to an audio book of a novel I originally started to read but it's so depressing, I'm not sure I'll continue. Well, I probably will as I'm on to disk 5 already but it had better get better. ha

My sister is finally getting into a handicapped apt. It's across the hall from where she lives now. Thankfully, that place has a decent manager for a change. I'll help her as best I can and hoping one or two of my daughters might come down and help too as she's confined to her electric chair and I know I'll have to sit down frequently even though I'll be using my walker to help her. Her son will have to come in and do the big stuff and my sister says her daughter will help too. Although I have my doubts on that. We bet $10 on it.

I think I'll run to Safeway now. I only need a couple items but sometimes I just like to get out.  My grandson, Jake, was home sick a couple days ago and his mom sent me a picture of him asleep with the dog next to him. So cute! I love seeing pictures of Poppy.
