Canada Day was one of “those” days

 Yesterday was Canada Day…. which was a holiday for lots of people, but not for me.

It   was one of ~those~ days. The weather was glorious. It wasn’t the weather that made the day challenging.

It was that my computer and I were locked in mortal combat.

Oi vey!

I needed to update my website: My website

I wanted to add the new crocheted belts book, and to add this crochet hook to the Crochet page

But….the computer kept hanging. erg.

AND THEN! I thought… okay, I obviously need a cuppa tea.

Wrong choice. The cat leapt up at me just as I was about to put the cup down and I dumped the whole cup of tea into my brand new keyboard. WAILIE WAILIE….

So… I flapped out as much as possible and put the keyboard out in the sun to dry out.

Things kind of went from bad to worse, BUT eventually, after many hours of struggling and wrestling with it, a sort of cyber-truce has ensued. And my fingers are crossed.

I can get pretty freaked out when my computer acts up – so much of my life is stored in there! eegads, what a thing to say!Anyhow, the day did turn out well after all the computer fuss. I DID get some tatting in, and my keyboard seems to have survived it’s dousing.

AND Jim did find a way to get things working again, so even though, a job that I thought would take a couple of hours took 12….. I still feel like I am living a very blessed life.

To live in a time and place where peace prevails is no small blessing! And, to have family and friends and work that I adore – well, what can I say? I am so grateful!

Even so, some days just don’t go the way you think they should.

And, oh yes, belated Happy Canada Day to the rest of my fellow Canadians, and an early Happy 4th of July to all my friends south of the border!

Keep your teacups away from your computers and enjoy the parts of your lives that bring you delight!
