Stoned

Fiorella and Husband stopped by the side of the road yesterday and picked up rocks from their dry creek, then deposited them along the north side of the driveway. Your Fio started the--uh--stoning about five years ago, Husband joined her, and Austin Son made a nice contribution. The aim is driveway definition and erosion control, but it's a nice family project too.

Conspiracies and Coincidences

Friend Jeanell's life would be a field day for conspiracy theorists.

 During the same time frame, three women, all with names beginning with J, all romance writers, all members of ARWA, all on the shady side of fifty, had their computers go down. Then there were Jeanell's former neighbors--the husband's given name was the same as Jeanell's younger son's middle name, the neighbor's older son's name was same as Jeanell's older son's name, and the neighbor's younger son's name was the male version of Jeanell's daughter's name. Which all goes to prove that sometimes a coincidence is just a coincidence. However, about those three computers....

Sins of the Past

Fio woke up this morning with all her demons dancing in her head. For all her stupidities, she asks your forgiveness. She meant only the best, which sometimes resulted in the worst.

Purple Arm

It's interesting, the contortions that Fio has to go through to sit up in bed now that she's down to one usable arm. And she'll admit she had to call for Husband's help to get her out of the bathtub when her one-arm lift didn't work. And it's hard for Fio to sleep when her arm, now purple from armpit to wrist, is sensitive to bedsheets and pillows. On the other hand, it could have been both arms. *

Another Update

More fun. Husband cured some of Fio's remaining problems, then closed the help desk for the day so Fio had to take her laptop off to Click again. Travis worked on getting my documents back, but is still waiting for a call-back from Just Cloud to get my retrieval system back. Next come Vipre and Kindle. Hoping to get back in the writing saddle again by the weekend.

Fio on the Upswing

We will assume Fio is up and running now.  .Last week was harrowing, and chocolate was the cause of it all.

Husband and Fio had about fifty dollars worth of Easter chocolate in the trunk when she hit the cop car, and she ate a huge chocolate rabbit on Tuesday causing her to stagger into the bathroom for Tums at 4:30 Wednesday morning, which resulted in her tripping over her own feet and skinning her arm on the knobs of a cabinet as she fell, followed by her spilling an icebag destined for her arm all over her computer on Thursday afternoon, which resulted in her computer blowing its brains out.

But the evil rabbit is gone, the car is in the shop, Fio's arm is semi-healing, and all the stuff from her old computer has been transferred into her new computer.  Now if she can just get the new guy to behave--the blog is working, but the email is weird, she has to turn cartwheels to get to Google News, and she's lost some icons.

More updates to come.

Back Again!

Hello, everyone!  Welcome back into the world of Fiorella, who is recovering not only from an auto accident, not only from tripping over her own feet and skinning her left arm on the way down, but also from accidentally showering her laptop with an icebag she was filling to soothe said arm. Then she got sick.

But fear not.  After a bout of deep depression, intrepid Fio is on the upswing. Her baby car lost its front end, but Mazda and Allstate will fix her up; although her arm has swollen and turned purple, nothing is broken; her Toshiba fried, but Click Computer Repair was able to transfer all its contents to Husband's old Dell.  And she herself is on the mend from whatever flu or allergy was driving her crazy.

But please send kind thoughts Fio's way. The girl needs a break.
