If there's any time in my life I feel stupid, it's when I try to do anything on the computer. Other than turn it on and make it work, that is. I just spent over an hour copying pics from my old laptop to my new laptop so I can give the old laptop to my grandchildren. Even writing the sentence sounds conglomerated, doesn't it? If it weren't for Joel sitting next to me and directing me through the process, I never would have gotten it done.
Why is this? I'm a smart person otherwise, but when it comes to doing "new" (to me) things on the computer, I get tense and feel stupid. I know it isn't because Joel is helping me; we've always been who we are to one another and there's no need for pretense. Where are these voices coming from, anyway?
Now that everything is done, I feel better. I can bring the computer to my daughter's house and feel confident I have everything I need from it. I'm glad the kids will be able to use it. I'm hoping they use it for homework, but more than likely there will be more games on it than anything else. Still, it's nice when I can do something to improve their lives. With eleven grandchildren and one great-granddaughter, that's a tad challenging!
A place to unload the worries of the day and celebrate the knowledge I am not alone in this crazy world!
