Elation celebration!! Too bad that I can’t upload a picture expressing “elation.” GOOD NEWS: Yesterday afternoon, the buyer of my trailer home—and yours truly—exchanged paperwork (the title and a cashier’s check). ~~ My next goal: Dispose of a lot of extra things at the upcoming “garage sale.” Then I can reorganize my apartment. 🙂 ~~ Later in the month, I can decide whether I want to start a new blog so I can display pictures (and clipart).
(1) Trailer home for sale, (2) Internet–WiFi connection problems, (3) Unable to add pictures to my blog because “out of space,” (4) preparation for a “garage sale” (with others) here at the retirement home, (5) yada, yada, yada. Keep me in your prayers?
A local “PC Doctor“ repaired my computer yesterday afternoon and I now have access to the Internet on my most–favored desktop computer. ~~ I have not decided how to continue “blogging”—or just quit preparing a blog. Any suggestions? ~~ I prepared an attractive new heading for a perhaps new blog but, regrettably, cannot display it here for the reader’s evaluation (“not enough space”). I’ve considered calling a new blog Lakeshore Leisure Lorraine. The “heading” with a large calligraphy capital L and the words akeshore, eisure, orraine to the right of the large letter L. Repeat: Any suggestions?
One-hundred-seven degrees on my balcony, in the shade, at 3:35 PM. I’ve been out in the miserable heat driving to and from my trailer home. I “showed” the trailer and a woman said she will buy it. Praise the Lord!!
I haven’t resolved the problem with my desktop computer and the Internet connection. Trying to prepare a blog message on my old laptop computer is almost impossible. I’m keeping the message short but wanted friends and family to hear my good news moments after I arrived back in my cool and comfortable apartment.
Your blogger is facing computer limitations. Approximately forty-three hours ago, our area experienced a brief lightning storm that shut down my TV and computer. About five minutes later, the TV automatically began to work again. That night and several times yesterday, I tried to restore the Wi-Fi to the desktop computer. Finally, I had guidance from a customer service “real alive” person with Spectrum. Still no Wi-Fi and a technician was scheduled to come and look at the problem. Shortly after one o’clock, a pleasant young man surveyed the situation and gave me the bad news that the problem is with my computer and not Spectrum. ~~ This message is being prepared on my laptop computer. I cannot turn to the laptop because the screen is too small (for my tired old eyes). ~~ Blog messages and Ancestry will be curtailed. Three-quarters of an hour struggle to prepare this brief message.
The paint odor makes me so sick. I’m not opening the door to the balcony; I haven’t transferred items from the living room to the balcony. Accomplishments are few.
I’m distressed because I made stressful trips across Waco to show the trailer and the individuals didn’t declare an intention to purchase. The rejection leaves me with miserable stomach/gut pain. I had a restless sleepless night.
At breakfast this morning, the maintenance man requested that I remove everything from the balcony. The painters are working on my side of the building. After breakfast, I moved bottles, etc., etc. to my living room. I wish I could upload a picture of the items in my living room. “Double whammy” because the odor of paint is extremely strong and it has me nauseous, with a headache. Until I started this blog message, I spent all my time in the recliner doing nothing. Due to my current health limitations, I was “too sick” to go to the dining room for lunch.
Quite possibly, I have a buyer for my trailer home. Praise the Lord!! “Good day.”
When I went to my KIA, to drive across town and show the trailer my car wouldn’t start, the battery was dead. “Bad day.” I called AAA and a very cordial young man finally arrived. It was beastly hot as I waited for AAA. He recognized that it was an almost new battery and suggested I go to NAPA for a new battery. So I drove back to the area I’m most familiar with, went to NAPA, and got a new battery at no cost. “Hotter than Hell?” for the man who swapped the batteries because the engine was hot and the outdoor temperature higher than one-hundred degrees. I couldn’t stay with the car; I retreated to the store and sat on a stack of boxes of motor oil.
I had missed the one o’clock appointment to show the trailer. The “interested individual” had been very understanding… and was available later in the afternoon. Repeat: Quite possibly, I have a buyer for my trailer home. Praise the Lord!! “Good day.”
There are pictures I would like to upload. The “bottle(s) display” on my balcony toppled over in a strong wind. I had a big mess to clean up—and pictures to display the disaster. ~~ Regarding blog messages, I don’t know what I’ll do.
Old lady Lorraine is searching for an answer to her current blog problem. Apparently, this image has fewer KB so it was not rejected. I deleted twenty images from the blog message regarding the funeral of Queen Elizabeth. Regrettably, that maneuver did not provide my desired result. 😦
