Well my poor, old, wonderful computer that my grandson built for me and kept updated finally wouldn't come on a couple weeks ago! He said it wasn't worth it and couldn't be updated for Windows 11, which I totally hate, so I ordered one from Costco. Got it quickly but just could not get it set up right. I had it so screwed up and I was a mess, tired and hurting and frustrated! My grandson came over and he even had a hard time and said that he thought Microsoft really screwed up with Windows 11. No one at the college he is the IT guy for like it, either. Why Microsoft just didn't do some updating to 10 and leave it alone. It was great. Anyway after about 4 solid days of working on it, I did a factory reset and took it back. I ordered a cheaper one, a Dell and have it mostly set up. But I can't get any sound out of IT! I have used all my brain power and still no sound and no place to plug in my old speakers. I don't want to bother my grandson because he just moved into a new townhouse and his brand new dryer went out after 1 week and he had a car accident, but wasn't hurt. So I will wait till Monday and call the Costco help people! I sure don't want to take this back because I have it pretty well set up with Firefox, Photoshop, etc. And I have made a few themes on it already, like the Fighting Duck. I don't have all of the Photoshop brushes in yet, but I have to find out where they go in 11. It is so much harder to navigate than 10. Enough complaining. But setting up a new computer after a stroke is no joke and it is very hard.

We are still having fairly good weather with bright sunshine today but the southeast is getting battered. I heard today Trump thinks the government is doing it to the Republican area! OMG! I didn't realize that kind of power was available yet!

In the process of losing my wonderful old computer I lost hundreds and hundreds of themes and wallpapers I had made. I had Sync and PCloud for some of my back ups but I couldn't remember all my passwords, etc. so they are out there in a cloud somewhere. I had made and saved a bunch of really great cell phone wallpapers, too. Gone! All that time and energy wasted, but that is life!
🥲😮😒
So I have nothing to add to this silly blog so will sign off and get supper around. I will be back after I get this computer figured out!
Have a great Halloween if I don't get back on here.
