"Serene, I fold my hands and wait, Nor care for wind, nor tide, nor sea; I rave no more 'gainst time or fate, For lo! my own shall come to me." - John Burroughs

Our holiday was quiet as we like it. We even saw the fireworks over in Morro Bay. My neighbor, Mrs. T, texted me that she could see them from our parking lot. Michael and I went outside, no one was there, and we could see the light show between the trees. I texted Mrs. T and asked her where was she. Her reply, "Nside." Just as I was texting her back, she came outside and viewed the rest of the fireworks with us. I just love her texting verbiage. When I text, I write out everything. Me thinks I should be e-mailing instead and save my texts for short responses.

We have a new alarm system in place these days. A cricket has taken up residence outside of the living room window. Nothing stops this creature from chirping. Michael doused it with water from the hose and that didn't stop it. Since then we realized the only time it stops is when something or someone comes to the door or near our portion of the yard.

I had another morning of waking up with dread. I am overwhelmed by the many choices I will need to make once I get out of bed.

This is what gets me is these times happen. Why can't I apply the tools of the program and be okay that for today, this is how I feel and enjoy the day as it plays out, instead of my preprogrammed day.

The thing which got me out of bed this morning is that Michael offered to make me breakfast. He is such a good guy.

We have been working on my computer since it has been giving me fits. First of all, we changed my browser from Firefox to Google Chrome. I do like the Chrome and it does seem to work quicker. I have learned how to add my frequent sites to the tool bar.

I am also figuring out how to import mail from one of my e-mail addresses to go straight to Microsoft Outlook. This is giving me some fits but slowly I am gaining mastery of this. Although, I still don't have mail downloading to Outlook yet but I am closer.

Oh yeah, oh yeah, I'm the girl! I now have mail coming into my MS Outlook e-mail program and I figured it out all by myself.

This is a great way to end a dreary day for me.
