Think of it as an adult version on Where’s Waldo…. yes that was my life over the last 8 days.  Ok not really.. but adult wheres waldo could be a whole lotta fun I am thinking now.  Let me break it down for you.

Tuesday, July 1st 330 pm

Was working on a website and suddenly.. out of nowhere, the blue screen of death appears. Crap.  Ok wtf is going on.  System wont reboot.. shit. Ok. Well if I hurry I can get to town and get it into the shop before they close.  Call Howard and say no phone sex for me for a couple hours, gotta go to town.  Get clothes on.  Take it to the shop, do some groveling in hopes I can get it back the next day since I uh DON’T have a laptop or back up computer.   Go home.  Feed stock.  Take a cold shower cuz its fuckin hot.  Make a big damn gin and tonic and eat garlic chicken pizza from Papa Murphys while vegging out in front of the TV, at least Hells Kitchen is on.

Wednesday July 2nd

Ok its errand day, walmart, bank, feed store, grocery store blah blah.  Call to check on my computer, tell them Im in town till about 3 (hint)  Cool they will call me.  Get most every thing done, go to Chilis for The BURGER.  Man.. sidebar here, that damn burger is soooo Yummy.  Jalapenos, bacon… mmm crap now I am hungry… ok… Phone rings.  Computer guy.  Let me paraphrase here.  You are fucked, 10 hours of backing up to do.  Shit.. not gonna be done today huh?  Ok please.. Im beggin.. I need it BEFORE the long weekend.. no promises but he will try.   Go home, put away groceries, haul feed out to the garage, feed stock, work with the babies a bit, go in the house.  Look around.  Hmmm.  What the hell am I gonna do NOW.  Wander around a bit.   Go look at the spot my computer is supposed to be. *sigh*  Kinda dust it out.  Look around some more. Call Howard to sign me in, at least I can do phone sex to distract me. Get Nekkid, Make a big ass drink.   More Vegging in front of the TV.

Thursday  July 3rd

Get up.. do morning chores.  Wander around.  Call the computer guy.  Nope, still fucked but he will let me know by 4 if its done.  Whine some more.  Ok.  Look around the house.  Might as well put my time between calls to good use.  Change the sheets, do laundry, scrub floors, clean bathrooms… don’t dust cuz I hate dusting… but the house is back in order.   Break out a new notepad.  Start making lists of things I need to do when my computer gets back.  Fill up 1/4 of the notebook.  Wander around.  Too early to start drinking (especially since I just KNOW I have to go pick up my computer)  Flip through daytime TV How do people occupy themselves during the day?  Jesus.  Take a nap, Wake up.  Its only 2 and now I am all headachy from the nap *grumble* 3:15  the phone rings.  I pounce on it like its the last piece of chocolate in Wyoming.  Computer guy. Listening, while making myself a big ass drink uh huh.  Nope.  Still fucked but LESS fucked than I was before.  Closed till Monday. ok… Hang up… sit on the couch with my head in my hands for a while.  Get up..Look around.  Hotter than hell outside… supremely hot forecast. Yay.  Find the Twilight Zone Marathon and take more phone sex calls.

Friday  July 4th.

Drag myself out of bed and do chores.  Already blistering hot at 8 in the morning.  Scrub water tanks and fill them, clean the dog kennel, hose it down so the dirt is cooler for the dogs.  Apply mass quantities of fly spray all around.  Go back in the house because I am getting burnt.  Long cold shower.  More Twilight Zone.  Cant go watch fireworks cuz they are a fire hazard and the new morons next door are shooting off bottle rockets over the already bone dry waiting to burn pastures.  Animals not happy.  Erin now brain dead.

Saturday July 5th

Why me?  Stupid girl should have bought a laptop.  Over half the notebook is now full of notes.  Abundant Sunshine, HOT is what the forecast says.  Uh.  no shit. 4pm I am completely stir crazy.  Go hang out next door,  bitch about the neighbors on the other side.  Storm stirs up, refreshing and cool.  Starts pouring, thunder and lightning.   Go home and go out and stand in the rain and hail.  Do chores, come in the house soaked to the skin.  Strip.  Flop down on the couch for bad Sci Fi and more phone sex.

Sunday  July 6th.

Seriously.  What the HELL do people DO without a computer?  Read a book.  Started a new one.  Decide I am going to teach myself how to use this damn knitting board I just HAD to have.   Cant find the directions.  Cant print them off.  Sad now.  Organize my office.   Start throwing stuff away.  Bored now.

Monday  July 7th.

Yay.. its GOT to be done today…Good mood all day.  Phone rings at 2.  Tomorrow.  Promises. Bang my head on the wall.  Have to drive to town ANYWAY to pay rent.   Come home.   Play with the babies. Fall asleep on the couch all slug like.

Tuesday  July 8th.

I just dont wanna talk about it

Wednesday July 9th

Leave the house before anyone has the chance to call and give me bad news.  Run errands.  Show up at the computer place.  ITS DONE!!!   Load it in the truck before they change their mind.  Bring it home.  Spend the rest of the day figuring out where all my crap is.

There you have it.   Where I have been.  I am now saving for a laptop for my birthday in October.  I only need 850 bucks for a custom one.  I should be saving for my move.  But… I gotta have a back up if I am going to run a business or three.

First thing I did this morning?  Caught up on my Red State Update and satisfied my withdrawl cravings.  Ya know they have a CD coming out soon.  I may just have to buy it.  Never can tell.

So I am back.. didja miss me?  Damn well better have LOL

Come play!
