New month, new post!
Whee! Here I am again. but what to say? What to say?
I'd tell you that my friggin' laptop is on its last legs, but it's probably the keyboard that just needs to be cleaned. I know that all of my typos aren't my bad typing, or due to MS-numbed fingers; many of them are, but some keys aren't working properly, either. It makes for tedious proofreading.
For instance, just now, I hit enter twice to start a new paragraph, but the curser didn't move; so I hit the space bar, and the curser jumps down two lines and moves a space. It's like he keyboard is haunted, or has a mind of its own. Still, it did everything is was told to; it just didn't show me. Also, at random intervals, the T decides it needs to be punched, and not just tapped. What this means for me is that I have to watch the screen and not the keyboard. I know, that's how you're supposed to type, but this is me I'm talking about, remember?
And I.
Can't.
Type.
One day I will put up an entry I have not proofed, and you will see my pain, and my pain will become your pain.
What I plan on doing is this -- put post-its to a good use: remembering my ideas of things to write about! When I come up with something to share ... I will write it down and stick it to my laptop. Brilliant, no?
"No," you say?
Well, then, screw you. Have a little faith in this memory impaired blogger, why don'cha? Geez.
DH finally planted some flowers in the pots on the patio. I haven't sat out there much as it has been TOO FUCKING COLD to sit outside. Such a difference from the last two Summers, and I think it is the coldest Summer since we've lived here. That, in addition to there being more shade on the patio (Thank you birds for planting the honey locust tree, but you could have done a better job with placement) than I would like, we have had precious few days above 70F.
Thanks for all the nice birthday greetings. I appreciate them all, even the late ones.
Good Night, TTYL, and Be Well,

Good Night, TTYL, and Be Well,
LOL! I would love an unedited post as long as you posted.
ReplyDeleteAnd that's the cold, unvarnished truth. =)
And yes it is fucking cold so I don't understand why the weatherman keeps showing a big fat thermometer on the tv screen with mercury popping out of it. I mean hello? It.Is.Cold.Here.Too.
Happy Day to you!
Hi
ReplyDeleteWhat do you mean it's cold. I am loving this weather!! Just remember that spell check was invented for all of us and humbows await!! Tell me next time youe in Seattle!
Gretchen
Yeah, a wee bit cold for summer. I just plucked mushrooms out of my potted plants!
ReplyDeleteWell, Happy Belated Birthay!!! I hope it was the best one yet!
ReplyDeleteTypos are a good thing sometimes as it makes me feel good to have even acknowledged them :-)!
Oh please share an unedited version. I had a wacky keyboard thing going on but I thought it was just me until someone else used it.
ReplyDeleteOh wish we had 70 deg. days here then I could get out during the day.
Lucky we have only been having upper 90's with cooling in the evenings.
Did you clean the keyboard?
No, I haven't cleaned the keyboard.
ReplyDeleteTwo people want an unedited post? You guys are crazy. Perhaps, one of these days. You will know. I will call it "Unedited Post."
Gretchen, I think I get cold because I can't move around much. Or, it might be an MS thing. Who knows? You will need to send me your E-mail address so I can let you know the next time I'm coming to Seattle. Write to me at Webster@harbornet.com
