Fires, Heat and Techno Crap

Stress levels over the top here !!!

New fire south of me has the farm chocking in smoke and sitting in "What if's" and a headache that feels like my head will come apart in a million pieces... Late into the night I checked the reports, checked on the animals and working to get the new computer into my world of knowledge. Not an easy task seeing how limited that is...

My dog Sophia keep getting off lead and running wild around the farm and in the house so that was anything but fun - looks like a bull ran thru the house. Finally at 2 am got her to stay in the barn and calm down. The smoke and smell puts the animals in escape mode.

After another night of little sleep I made my breakfast and sat down to restart the computer to the large tasks at hand. I was on it for not more then 5 minutes and the screen went black.
Crap !!!! I sat there looking at the screen in panic. Yep, went there again. I took ten deep breaths and got a cup of coffee and the receipt - called the tech support line and started that process. I got a great helpful guy who walked me thru the steps to reboot everything and there was the problem fixed.... I told the guy this is not what I wanted in life - can't I just walk thru this smoothly with this new computer? He very kindly said "Miss, I am always here if you need me"
Nice to know but I really do not wish to have to do this again...

So the day did not start the way I had hoped but then I put it into context - my farm is not on fire and we are all safe for now. Really makes you remember what is important !!!!
BE SAFE TODAY
