Fixing Stuff and More

 

My flowers are from the grocery store now. It's winter, and it was too wet to go out and find some greens to arrange. 

The last time I posted, in the middle of typing, I couldn't add text. After a lot of checking, including finishing the post on my laptop, we finally decided it was the keyboard. It's a rechargeable keyboard. When we located the charging cord and plugged it in, it didn't work. We found another keyboard with a dongle, plugged it in, but left the rechargeable charging. Eventually it charged. Fixed.

I was having trouble with my photo storage on my desk top computer, the one I use for blogging. The photos wouldn't open for editing. I Googled but struck out. We contacted Geek Squad, with whom we have an account. The technician took over my computer remotely and, Fixed! I love Geek Squad. 

The kitchen range oven stopped working this week too. We decided it was the element and ordered a new one, but then realized the top element was out too. Tom called Sears repair service. They have a repairman coming Wednesday. He cancelled the element order. I hope it can be fixed. I do not want to have to shop for a new range, one that will slide in to our island. Thankfully, the top still works. I can cook. 

While I was on my stationary bike this morning, Tom was out in the rain taking down the outside lights and collecting cords. 

All the Christmas stuff from inside and outside is being stored in the garage, awaiting a youthful assistant. No hurry.

We have room in the garage because Isaac is using our van until he can replace his car. He was in an accident just before Thanksgiving but has recovered well both physically and emotionally. Tomorrow, Sunday, January 8th, is his 20th birthday.

Everyone is busy, so we'll celebrate later in the week.

But there will be some treats and birthday wishes for him to find tonight and tomorrow when we comes home from work. 

We love you, Isaac. Happy Birthday!
