And there it goes...

I 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.

Yay for winning! Boo for them losing the bloody thing! Go you for looking after your toofers. I hope you see some improvement in your FM!

Yay netbook!

Some website tried to tell me I'd won one, but then it turned out I had to take a bunch of other "deals", so it was a scam.

Oooh, go you! I hope your old stuff was all backed up. Great news.

Some improvement in the FM would be nice. They found the netbook so we are back to YAY! Though these tiny keys are causing me some trouble. I suppose I will get used to it. Just in time to get a real computer again. PEople use cellphones to type for heaven sake. I don't see how they do it.

You know, I thought this was a scam at first, too. We get used to being called and notified via email that "We Won!" and we just blow it off. Or I do at least. I came very close to hanging up on the lady, but luckily I stayed on the line until I could make sense of what she was saying.

Thanks! I was mostly backed up. It was just about time to do it again. So I lost some stuff. But I think I've got all the writing and other files secure. Of course, until we transfer it all safely to the new computer I will be sweating it.
