rant rant tired rant

Whew…yesterday I worked hard…and late, on orders and normal family stuffs. I cleaned castings, boxed orders, ran to the post office, painted sculpts, fixed dinner, did meal planning, then did the grocery shopping…came home and put it all away and collapsed for the day. Today I got up and my computer….freshly retrieved from being fixed on friday….croaked again. SOOooo….today, even though I had tons of art things to do…I had to drive all the way to lexington again. They’re gonna TRY to fix it, AGAIN! The service rep gave a recommendation of junking it, and replacing it with a new one, since this is my fourth time taking it in. But, even if they replace it, I’ll need to buy security software and stuffs for it if I cant find my old disks….crud. I’m irritated and tired of having to deal with them not being able to fix it. I need my computer for things, and poor Chris has been without his for just as long…since he’s been so kind as to let me use his while mine’s out. Even though he’s sweet natured about it, I know it inconveniences him too…so I’m irritated for his sake as well.

Poor Chris has the flu…and has been a zombie for the past two days….

And then…I went to Petsmart, where the humane society has those little cages with animals needing adoption…and there’s this cat. Hillary…she’s been there every time I go for over the past month. She used to lift her head and rub against the door, then she quit getting up, and would just lift her head. This time she just laid there, curled up in a morose ball, looking depressed. The normal adoption fee is around $80 or more…but this poor cat had been marked down to $20…she’d been there forever. I had to…I brought her home. Talking to the adoption people, she’d been there, at petsmart, in that small boxlike steel cage for the past 6 months. They dont have foster homes, she’s literally been in that little cage for that long. She’s a very nervous and shy kitty, but doing well, and enjoys gentle petting. With some time I think she’ll level out and have a wonderful life with us. I just couldnt leave her there. Pitiful baby…overlooked because she doesnt have the flash markings other kittys have. She’s lovely, but her markings and beauty take more than a passing glance to see and appreciate. *cuddles kitty*

I took a couple pics, i’ll have them up in a sec! The computer will most likely be replaced, but they have to try fixing it at the store, then send it off if that fails for a final verdict. I’ll also have to buy another warranty…as this one will be voided with the replacement of the computer. And I will say…there’s NO WAY I’d go without a warranty after this experience. too bad they’re so expensive. I may have a sale or something to raise the extra to pay for it…discount twitters maybe?
