Taking it away.... Tongue

Woke up with a slight neuralgia flare up so I'm eating aspirin, and I definitely have a slight cold. My nose is stuffy and my eyes feel like they're full of sand. *SIGH* I'm here for now but if it gets really bad, I'll have to go lay down after bus time.

Smiley VE. I've got a stuffy nose too. I blame it on the weird/extreme weather we've been having. Time to get caught up.

Smiley Hopefully it goes away for both of us ASAP. EW.

I'm doing research... I was looking for something on a site I had used in the past, and it wasn't there... Did a search for the image, and BAM, it's on another site.

DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUH............................. Link saved so I know where it is. Geez. *headdesk*

And people wonder why I have a HUGE bookmark list which is manageable ONLY because of "sub-categories."

I've been downstairs moving a small, mostly empty cabinet from where it was to where I wanted it so now I can use it. I should be able to put the contents of a couple of storage shelves in it so those things will be where I can get at them. Once the shelving unit is completely empty I'm going to move it to the "storage area" and use the resulting empty space for more useful storage units -- which I will probably end up building.

All of my bookmarks from the other two manuscripts were on the hard drive of the old computer and none of them got on to the external, so no backups.*SIGH*

Note of what I'm doing on the real name profile for certain eyes only. Tongue

Oh dear. Fortunately, Skywise ws able to transfer the bookmarks between computers when we got this one. Otherwise I'd have probably lose my mind -- among other things.

I saw that -- as you know. I wish I'd known how toxic some people were going to turn out to be BEFORE I let them get into a position wreck a very special relationship.

The Vista one croaked before I could get things like Opera, FF and other stuff off them so I couldn't get all of it unfortunately. Sad I'm glad I am so darn picky about backing things up manuscript wise, else I REALLY would have been up the creek back in September!!

Yes, you would have. I keep the "master copy" of whatever I'm working on on a flash drive. It seems like the safest way to do it and if necessary, I can plug the drive into any of our computers that's available and work.

For me, it's faster and easier to save on the hard drive and just back it up after I'm done. I have Word set to saving every minute or so and I back things up at least once a day with the manuscripts, etc.

I have the external plugged in now and when I'm done downloading the research, etc, I'll back things up again. I already did one this morning but that's okay, I'm pretty darn dilligent with things. Tongue

I've been working. The eyes are complaining so I'm going to get offline and close them for a while.
The tax refund can't get here soon enough!

The boxes I want to put in the previously mentioned cabinet won't fit --  Smiley -- so I'll either have to buy or build a storage unit to hold them. The shelves that they were on is about half empty now and I'm already planning where to put it where it will do the most good. Doesn't solve my other storage problem though....

Morning.
We've been to Bloomington and back already this morning since we needed to pick up some things at the grocery and didn't want to wait until Saturday. We'll probably go to Walmart tomorrow since one of Skywise's prescriptions is getting low. For now, I'm gonna get caught up while my feet thaw.

I've added something here if you're interested.

And I've been a "female dog" on facebook not to put too fine a point on it. "Someone" may blow a gasket.
