I am mentally trying to prepare myself for a task that at one time in
my life I rather enjoyed. Now, it is a dreadful storm cloud hanging
over me. Because Microsoft is going to stop issuing security updates for
Windows XP, I must install Windows 7 in my PC and reinstall all the
other software I use. I also have to install a new copy of Quickbooks
accounting software for Carolyn’s business needs. I chose to purchase a
new hard drive, too. It is a solid state drive and I trust it will be
much faster. All this is an expensive upgrade but it is direly needed as
Win XP will be of little use in another month or so. I have the new
drive prepared to go into the PC and the software is due to be here
today. I will need two long days of hard work to get it all done, that
is if all goes ok. Now, to get myself psyched to get it done.
I’ve been needing a new phone for awhile; my old
Droid X has become obsolete and stretches its resources just to make a phone call. I found a new
HTC One
on Amazon for $30 based on a two year contract agreement. I’ve been
using it for a couple of days and it seems to be much better suited for
what I have to do. I hate the contract, though.
Enough for today except to say it is again super cold here.
