I started this blog in 2009 to keep folk up to date on my husband's melanoma treatments. I have kept up daily blogs for 16 years…sometimes health related...sometimes just daily routine. 6/16/24 Woody took his final breath in his long health battle. I have blogged for so long that it is part of my daily routine…so I guess I will continue with posts from me about how I cope with this new stage in my life…widowhood.

Technology! 🙄
Ugh! I rarely use a Windows computer these days...have pretty much moved to Apple. This morning Melany asked me if I could send her a picture of Alex when he was in my niece Rachel's wedding. Well, those photos are only accessible through a Passport external drive which has to be used with one of the Microsoft laptops. The laptop that I consider mine is very old and I mainly only use it with my sewing machine. So I brought the Passport down and plugged it into Woody's laptop. I was able to get to the photos and found the ones that I wanted to send to Melany, BUT...I could not get to gmail with this computer...though, I know that Woody used to check email on it just about daily. It took a while, but I finally managed to get the email open...as can be seen in tonight's photo...BUT what a pain! I have never been too thrilled since I had to change keyboards for my iPad...the workings of it still leave a lot to be desired and has already given me problems in typing this tonight! (More eye rolling!) But at least I was able to get a photo sent to Melany...I was determined to do it...and, today...I won! This has been a slow day for me. I haven't felt the greatest...really tired...so I just gave in to that and have sat a lot today and stitched and watched sewing shows. Erin's ornament is coming right along. While I stitch hers, I am thinking about what ornament I will stitch next! I am also thinking that I am closing in on being finished with Christmas ornaments for this year. I "hope" that I will be finished with ornaments by the end of the month...but that may be pushing myself a little. Kathy told me yesterday that she thought that Joy was a little more alert, but that she still wasn't doing anything on her phone or computer. She has glasses to help her with the blue light...she's trying those out, but still not interested in using them with screens! I got tickled and asked Nathan and Kathy if they ever thought that they would be wishing that one of their children would use screens more! Usually it is the opposite...wishing that they would use screens less! To be continued! Be safe! Be well! Be cautious!
