Spend much of the day at the Apple Store in Fashion Valley.
I had a number of helpers teaching me how to use Keyword.
Joseph and Lisa did that.
Donna also helped, testing why my computers were running so slow.
Donna told me that my hard drive on the iMac was dying slowly, and had about a year and a half before Apple no longer had parts for it. It was already in the
Vintage category.
The MacBook Pro, a little younger, is still working, but Lisa told commented that it was running slowly. She found the slowness off-putting and commented how frustrating that would be.
I have come to accept my computers in spite of the intense distractions that are ongoing.
Today, I was on a roll with inspiration, and then, the Photoshop elements beach ball started to spin and would not allow me to proceed.
I get that Beach Ball often.
I saw more clearly how my inspirations about ability to do my work are hindered and my head hurt by the intense Computer Interactions.
It is clear that Lisa is used to working with Apples that are top of line and running as they are meant to run. You and I have to live with Computer Aging and many other pitfalls that can be exhausting.
I realize I have bought into the Computer Technology. I am hooked by it.
In my wanting to get more organized yesterday, I went the Computer Route, imagining that in learning Keynote, an program for presentations, I could get more ready for the upcoming National Heirloom Expo.
I write out my thoughts and materials on Plant Your Dream Blogs as a daily activity. Some of these blogs are pure notes, and things I am doing. I use the BLog as a Log of what is taking my time. Some of these blogs,BLogs, do not make much sense to someone who happens to click on them.
One visitor commented on that yesterday when he found one of these BLogs that had my notes when I was pursuing the idea that maybe I could rent a vehicle to get up to the Expo. That did not work out. I am scheduled to take a Plane still, and this is stressful.
Numbers of my Sacred Objects seem to have a life of their own. They do not want to be boxed up for travel. This is a dilemma.
My Head is all over the Map
My head is all over the map increasingly.
I suspect that my brain has been rewired by extensive computer use.
This is exacerbated by my Aging Computers that do not function as intended.
How Our Computers intended to Run?
Computers are intended to run fast.
They appear to have a shelf life.
They appear to call for extensive repeated expense to keep up with this system we have bought into.
This morning, I had a very stressful episode with the new Keynote program that connects the work I do in the "Cloud."
I can work on any one of the computers and then it is suppose to sync up.
I was working on the Iphone this early morning.
They I switched to the MacBook Pro.
I could not open the work I was doing yesterday!
This was stressful!
I had to find a workaround.
God Forbid, I imagined I would have to pay another visit to the Apple Store.
The Apple Store: How lovely a place with all the latest, and yet, what to do about this Dark Side of the Internet that I saw this morning when my time and energy had to address why I could not sync up my work. It said the link was wrong! What did that mean?
Then, I overcame that dilemma. I can open my work now in Keynote.
Then, I have this shocking slowdown and Beach Ball playing with my head, stopping my inspiration.
I have been sitting here for hours.
I am weary and exhausted.
It points out the truth in this Graphic that I wrote:
APPLE TREE QUOTE By YOUR ENCHANTED GARDENER
Just for the hell of it, I am going to check on the cost of a new iMac.
I am definitely caught up.
I have definitely bought into Computer Technology.
A part of me knows this is Madness.
Many of the problems in my head lead to my relationship to
the Computer.
We need a new 12 Step Called "AA" Apple Anonymous
