Last bill of the month paid.

10 whole days debt free

until the first of the month.

I dreamed last night I put a frozen pizza in the oven

(still in its' shrink wrap)

and then pissed on it.

It's gonna take a while to figure that one out.

I got my new computer.

I transferred all my files.

I was locked out of my old account on NN because I had forgotten my password.

Today, after several attempts, I remembered it.

I am back!

Miss me? lol

BTW - the new computer is superb.

Much faster than the old one.

I am pleased as punch.

My new computer arrived last night.

I waited an hour past delivery time and it wasn't here.

I checked on the internet and they said it had been delivered and was outside my front door.

No it wasn't.

I walked downstairs and looked out the front door and the back door to my building...

wasn't there.

I looked on my neighbor's porches...

not there.

I trudged back inside, feeling anger and despair growing.

I happened to glance down the basement stairs that goes to the laundry room,

and there, propped against the door was my package.

They must have had a part-timer working,

because I regularly recieve packages from this company

and the delivery personnel know the code to my front door

and they leave my packages outside my door

and take a picture to show proof it was delivered.

I felt a wave of relief and my bad thoughts disappeared.

I uncrated the new computer,

put it together

and will shortly begin the process of starting up and transferring files.

I hope everything goes smoothly,

but I'm being leery.

Onward...

... when you're waiting for a delivery.

I tried to reset my computer to factory specs...

it failed.

Today I purchased a new computer.

It's the same as my old computer,

just newer...

and it comes with Windows 11.

I've saved all of my files,

including music, photos and videos onto a flash drive.

I won't lose anything from the old,

hopefully I'll gain in the new.

It takes a big man to admit defeat...

little ones too.

~

I've had enough.

I got a mega big flash drive

and I'm going to export all of my 'stuff' to it,

then do a complete restore (essentially wiping it) to go back to factory settings (Windows 10).

Then I'm going to download Windows 11.

If that doesn't work,

the computer will be tossed into the trash.

I've had enough!

~

... another setback.

I tried to wipe my computer,

but the computer said no.

I think I'm going to have to break down and ask Microsoft for help again.

~

Damn this monster to HELL!!!

~

I got some help from Microsoft last night and today.

First, I got Windows 11 downloaded last night.

Second, I needed to upgrade something on Windows 10 before I can activate 11.

I was told that as soon as the upgrade is completed 11 will activate.

I'm at 88% on the update download right now.

Fingers, toes and anything else I can have are crossed right now.
