Anger, Fear, Frustration

Has Fiorella ever told you how much she dislikes technology? Well, you're going to hear it again.
     The worst thing about technology is that it lures you into its clutches by doing wonderful things, then deserts you when you're working on something important. Translation: after Fio ran off about a hundred pages in the middle of Lolly's story, the printer announced that it was out of ink. Your girl checked the desk drawer for something that looked like it might be a cartridge, but nada, so she called Minnesota Son. He questioned her about things that apparently she should know about and didn't, which always makes him angry and her nervous. Son was able to go through several commands, etc., on his own end of the line, but still ended up with nothing.
    Apparently the printer Fio bought last year is no longer supported.

Holey Moley! Now Apple is telling Fiorella that her iCloud needs updating. Why? she thought Carbonate took care of that.

A big part of the problem, of course, is the virus, because of which Fio can neither go out for help or lure knowledgeable people into her home. She's in this alone--and probably will be for the next two or three years. A virus is not something you can kill. It will run its course as long as it has something--or anything--to feed on.
