It is so interesting to post things to Pinterest. Every time I find something pretty or practical or something that I want to use some day in my life—or dream about it I know it will never BE in my life--I can put it on Pinterest.
Yesterday I was repinning stuff to my Landscaping Board and I ran across a lovely archway that looked familiar to me. It was in a small image, so I had to enlarge it to see the detail, but I found the bent rods coming down the sides and I saw the pieces on the top (don’t know what they are called) but they are little knob like features and they are the same as MY arch. Mine is a good 2+ feet taller than the one in the image because it has been set deep in the soil, as I imagine this one was intended to be placed to withstand wind once it has a heavy plant climbing over it. So I saved it and saved a copy to my computer so I could post it here.
It is 5:51 in the morning, and I believe my computer is running some stupid scan or another because the keys are far behind my pressing before they show up on the screen.
I have about had it with the computer tonight. I had bought some MP3 music at amazon.com and I was irked to discover that the only way they will let me download music is with their stupid Cloud Player. When you buy something, it automatically goes to their Cloud. If you want to put it on your computer—which, of course, I do—I have to download and install their Cloud Player. I did not WANT that. I am happy with my Windows Media Player, but I installed the dwxyz thing and it downloaded 4 songs and then stopped. I had paid for an album and wanted to get THOSE down, but NO way. I spent half an hour or more looking at their help page and trying out all of their suggestions to no avail. I finally quit, went to the kitchen and got myself an apple, and came back to post the picture of my archway.
I had wasted the same hours last night trying to download my Pinterest Boards to my own computer in case of a server problem with Pinterest. No way. I could not get it with the best program they have designed to do back-ups because they demand that you use Firefox and I hate that one. It has such a stripped down look and is not very intuitive for a moderately savvy user. I am very happy with Chrome, but the little Pin4Ever does not work with Chrome. So I had tried saving the page as HTML by hitting the SAVE button for each page. To my distress, I discovered that out of 65 pins, it would only save 24 or 25 of the pins and leave the rest of the pages empty. Wrong! So I started saving them one pic at a time. TALK ABOUT TIME CONSUMING! I was so frustrated, I didn’t get to sleep till almost 11 a.m. Monday. So I slept till almost 6 p.m. There went Tuesday. It is now 6 a.m. on Wednesday and I am not going to sleep at all. I am going to go as long as I can today and then if I fall asleep at 7 I will (hopefully) have my day/night rhythm back to normal.
Of course, I MUST be awake Thursday night. That is the last pre-season game for the Hawks at home.
I have to get the rent check tomorrow. Our rent goes up $25 a month. I think he may have had his taxes go up because of the new Safeway going in so close. I notice several of the cute little Caldart Cottages are also for sale, so the real estate taxes may have jumped on homes. Ours have remained low, but they were a couple of years behind the drop In home prices before they cut our taxes. It is time to shut this thing down and go back to work.
I hope everyone who reads this is well and happy!
