explorer 7

Yesterday this computer wanted to install or update internet to explorer something 7 so I let it. The screen looks different and it seems so slow now. I have to learn patience, when I click something I need to learn to wait a bit. I noticed on the toolbar thing it said create post so I waited. Usually I'm click happy.

Anyway have this awful stomach virus still, since Sunday evening. I actually felt better last night so I decided to go to work today. I got dressed and hit the bathroom a few times. Once I got my coat on still had to stop again. On my way out the door still felt like running and tried to suppress it and went on my way. Bad move, stuck in a bit of traffic and was lucky I made it to Dunkin Donuts. You would think I'd turn around and go home. Not me! In work I had to run to rest room about 3 times in a half hour, then my stomach started to hurt and I broke out in a sweat. That was it, packed it in and went home.

Good thing? I should lose a little weight. Little if any appetite due to constant feeling of gagging and wanting to vomit.

Thanksgiving is over

Almost thought I lost this blog again for a minute. Had to buy a new mouse, just trying it out. Thanksgiving is over onward to Christmas. I have a lot of Chapter 9 to read, I thought it was shorter than it actually is. One of the pages looks like the chapter endings so I thought I only had about 3 pages to go. I've had a stomach virus for the last two days and didn't do much but sleep and visit the bathroom often. Then I discovered today I actually have about 20 pages to read yet. It isn't half as bad as chapter 8, in fact it's like an old friend. Things I actually understand and things we've already done in the course of this semester. Makes me wish I had read this chapter earlier maybe before having attempted web site and links and such. Back to reading now, mouse seems to work fine. I had to take the camera thing out of the ub port, doesn't matter because my daughter-in-law never did their end so my camera was useless. And she bought it for me. The port in the front of the tower I use more often for charging my mp3.

My digital story idea

My digital story is going to be about me and my family. I have many digital pictures so I'm going to start with the memorial to my mother from Race for the Cure. Next I would like to take clip art of a rainbow and start music "She's a Rainbow" by the Rolling Stones, only because I don't know how to narrate and the music is on my computer and so are all the pictures I want to use. I just finished putting all the pictures on the computer. I'll start with me in Sciliy and text about my family roots being in Italy. Then the fissure and text saying how grandma spoke broken English and the guide on Mt. Etna reminded me of her and I thought he spoke broken English too when he said fissure I thought he was saying fisha like grandma would have said fish. I wondered what a fish would be doing on the top of Mt Etna.

Next family maybe family reunion with oldest cousins, more cousins and little Pete and me and Jackie and Jodi. Then Jodi with sweat shirt, then whole family at shower. Then Niko in blue then Niko Christening, then me with smooshed grand kids then Bermuda with Guyanese and get a shot of me with a class for last.

What a week

Almost couldn't remember id and password again, then clicked create instead of post. It really has been some week. This week's readings were very difficult for me. I can't even remember what else went on this week beside reading chapter 8.

Today at the end of the work day had problem at work that also proved to be quite a let down. Then went and paid $375 for my passenger seat belt repair. Now after reading all class posts and creating my own as well as viewing video case and commenting on that, I'm tired and closing down shop. And I have tomorrow to try to figure out how to create and manage my digital story.
