So after a lot of back and forth including a call to Bell, from work no less, we are back up and running! Phew! So yesterday tech support said they’d get a new modem shipped and we’d have it today. That’s just ducky… except when I called shortly before 1:00 today I was told that those replacements have to be okayed by the department that doesn’t work Sundays so it was only okayed this morning so we’d have to wait until tomorrow. GRRRRR. So I asked if us picking up a new one at the Bell store is still an option and it was! So Larry took the bad one and flew into town with it and retrieved the new one. Now, this kind of happens in two parts when I got home. I go out to the garage which is where they put modems now (WEIRD, tell me about it) and it’s got a red okay on it. Look at the box, in the box and grab my phone to call tech support. (After I got off the phone I found the paperwork that had been placed away from the box) She walked me through it all… she needed one of the serial numbers on the box so she could associate it to my account and then, BINGO! It was associated with my account and the usual Call sign and password loaded to it. That meant all I had to do was turn on the TV again! YAY!

So our prompts for today are as follows…

People in your life is Someone who helped you improve even if it wasn’t easy… okay, is that oddest prompt you’ve ever seen? What have I improved at over my lifetime? Bowling, singing, my knowledge when it came to nursing. So my dad mostly for bowling, a couple of different vocal teachers for singing, and Phil and Mike for all that knowledge. My family for just being there and giving me that extra push.

Making the most of the rest of this year is Something courageous you want to do before next year… well, that’s different! And the first response that came into my head is to say to hell with everything and everyone, I want to open my own business! There, it’s out there and I said it and, yes, it takes WAY more courage (and faith) than what I can muster!

Anyway, we got baseball tonight and I’m pumped!

Too Many Ideas?

Can there be such a thing?

I’m not sure but I’m certainly feeling overwhelmed!! I have a notepad that currently has pages from my Psychic story that can go either way–adult, or YA.  Which will it be.  I haven’t touched that one in a while because I’ve been trying to add small sections to my sequel to Mystery in the Attic that I wrote about a short time ago.  But I keep getting other ideas.  The other day a local radio station put a picture up on Facebook.  It was a split picture–1984 with the family sitting around the dinner table/Now with the family sitting on the couch all playing with tablets/cell phones, even the dog.  They asked if we preferred to be back there.  Thinking about it, I decided on sometimes.  I love the technology of today BUT… there are times when I wish I could just transport myself back there and have some quiet time without my cell phone or tablet chiming that I have a new email and wondering if it’s the next offer of money for my writing (ha HA!!)!  Sure I can easily turn it all off, for a while, but it’s still there.  But what if there was an app to take us back to a simpler time?  Got me thinking!!  Another idea!

Then my baby brother started texting me.  Things aren’t going so hot with his wife and my other brother has been separated now for eight months and it got me thinking about a non-fiction something (article?–to much info; book?–maybe not enough) about marrying (or rather not) for necessity.  I’m sure there are many, many people who marry because they don’t want to grow old alone and they are not willing to wait to find out.  Guilty as charged here too–at least partially.  As humans we should know better but as a species, well, we were put here to procreate.

This post has turned out to be long-winded.  My posts don’t normally go that route!  But think of the Tags!

As a writer, I’m always looking for ideas but can there be too many?  I feel really overwhelmed here and can only wonder if I can keep it all straight and find the time to get it written.

I have always kept little notebooks.  I advise you do the same thing if you find yourself in the same position!  I hope someone out there does!
