Getting my days straight

[susandennis]

Ok, so *today* is Friday.  Got it.  There's a blog I've followed for years - an octogenarian in Oklahoma who bemoaned upon hearing that her favorite soap opera was canceled "now I'll never be able to tell weekdays from weekends".  At the time I read it - a few years ago - I thought 'oh how cute'.  Now I R There.  

And another day is good.  Breathing wise.  I really really want to go to that Saturday swim class and I think one more day of taking it easy - walking my pretend dog - will be just what I need to get through the whole class without coughing or other problems.

The plan for today is installing Windows 8 on this laptop - the one I use for most everything these days.  I want to see what it's like.  My desktop is the one that really needs it - resource wise.  So we shall see how it works out.

True. Now that I'm not working, I often have no idea whatsoever what date or date it is.

The good part is that usually it doesn't matter anyway.

i put it on an old laptop the other night ... and, you know, i like it. i don't really think i'll be able to do all the legacy things i might want to do, but its' pretty and i was able to figure out how to get around with nearly no work at all.

(i did this on a thinkpad x61 with only 2GB of RAM ... your mileage will probably vary in the positive direction.)

Your prediction has come true. I do like it.

I've figured out how to do a lot of things - not quite all and so far hit only one real wall (network printer , but it's also wifi so no biggie).

My only problem now is that I'll need to buy another license for my desktop!

When walking your pretend dog, don't forget the pretend baggies to pick up pretend poop. The small pretend sandwich baggies with fold lock tops, not zip locks are best.

Oh, thanks for the tip! My pretend dog is small - sandwich baggies would be perfect.

Yep, put your hand in and pick it up, then turn inside out and tie it up to throw away. The fold locks actually work to pick up any size but you need to use more than one for larger breeds. Sometimes the fold locks are harder to find.

Let me know how the new windows is.

So far... I really like it.
