rabid1stI won! I won something in a raffle! I won a brand new netbook! WOW! I have never won a thing until now. And as I've mentioned my computer woes, I am sure you all realize how timely this win is. I am sick of using the library computers.
However, not long after I got the call saying I'd won, I got another call saying the store had lost my netbook. It is gone. They know not where. They are looking and promise me I will have a netbook in a few days even if they have to go out and buy a new one. I rather hope they do if mine has been used by others. The last thing I need is to find my new netbook full of weird porn or something. I like to pick out my own porn, thank you very much. LOL
In other news, I am off to see a dentist about getting my fillings replaced. That's right...voluntary dental work. Those words do not compute for me. But apparently, some folks feel that mercury fillings trigger fibromyalgia. And, as I am allergic to nickel and other trace metals, it was decided that I could try removing a few of my fillings. My consultation is tomorrow. Afterward, I think my sister and I are going to a museum or dinner or something. Wish me nerves of steel for future dental appointments.
This library keyboard really triggers my pain issues in the wrists and shoulders. I had forgotten what it is to use a non-ergo keyboard. Mine is feather-touch and requires no effort at all to type. I am also giving some thought to getting Dragon Naturally Speaking and giving the dictation another whirl. Perhaps fic will come forth and be recognized if I can master the Dragon. We will see.
As always thinking pleasent thoughts of all of you.
