That Is One Cold . . .

That is one cold January sunset.  It has been a couple years since it has been this cold around here.  At the moment it is 11 degrees with a wind chill of 4.  I've seen the wind chill in the minuses during last half hour or so.  

Yesterday, my niece was in the area and stopped in so I could meet my newest grand-nephew, Camdyn.  Camdyn is about 8 months old.  Simon, my big red tabby cat, didn't know what to make of all this.  He was just about always within an arm's length of Camdyn during the two hour visit.  He kept a very close eye on him.  I was impressed.  Every try to keep a cat's attention for a couple hours?  When they left, Simon reminded me that it was time for his supper, then he retired to my bed for a nap.  He was still there when I went to bed.  Just goes to show you that keepin a close eye on little ones can tire out the cat too.

I had a major problem with the new computer over the weekend.  My email quit receiving emails early Saturday morning. I didn't think much of it on Saturday.  Saturdays are usually pretty light when it comes to emails.  Still had problems Sunday.  It turned out to be a simple removal of a check mark in the properties box of my email provider.  I obviously tried every combination but that one.  That check mark kept me from downloading my mail.  The help desk guy said that for some unknown reason that a check in that box is the default.  I had filled my mailbox.  He made my mailbox larger, so I shouldn't have that problem till I set up a new computer and forget about that check mark.  One of the aggravating parts of all this is that I lost all the mail on the server.  And of course, since I couldn't download email, I started selling cookie cutter sets like crazy.  Would you believe an even dozen from the middle of Sunday afternon to this morning.  Probably a record . . . if I kept records.  Since I had to 'go through the backdoor' to print address labels, it took me around an hour and a half to get them ready for the post office people.  If I start with the email from eBay, I can process labels in half the time.  

When people say they are working out computer/software glitches on new systems, they are tellin the truth.  Things will smooth out eventually.  

This is what is goin out tomorrow . . . so far.  No way is it gonna fit into my mailbox at the street.
