Finally over the hump……

Last Saturday morning started with, “honey, I think I screwed up your laptop.” What happened: my hubby clicked “yes” to allow a pop-up message to “SCAN NOW” while he was on a website. The result: so many red X’s and error windows that I couldn’t shut down fast enough. So, after getting dressed, I drove an hour to deliver my laptop to a friend for repair, and on the way back stopped by MoBap Hospital. No, I didn’t have to check my computer-challenged husband in; I went to visit my Dad who has pneumonia.  Upon leaving there, we went to Tee’s Golf Grill to celebrate my son’s 22^nd birthday with my family. The restaurant had a table set up for 11 people, even though I reserved it for 17 (note to self: inform them that math should be part of their training). The server did make it right, but not before arguing with me for five minutes about how that’s the best they could do… even though the dining room was almost empty. We got home about 8:30 p.m….It was a very long day.

Manic Monday: I left work and drove straight to school for a PBL meeting, then went to class at 4:00. Besides the campus police in the building because someone’s purse was stolen, my hard drive was not formatted. So, I had to look over someone else’s shoulder and take notes. I am the type that learns hands-on; it all makes sense while I’m watching, but then I can’t remember when I have to do it myself. After formatting my hard drive at the end of class, I finally left school pretty discouraged at 7:15. I then drove to Fenton to pick up my repaired laptop (which still isn’t the same), and got home at 9:30 p.m…. It was a verrrry long day.

Tiring Tuesday: I left work and drove straight to school to do Photoshop homework in the lab and study for a test, went to my 7:00 class, and got home about 8:30 p.m….Uneventful, but still a very long day.

Weird Wednesday: I left work and drove straight to school for my 4:00 photography class. There was a guy in the hallway asking people if they were photography students and if they’d like to rent his house (note to self: lock the classroom door). Then, during class as the student next to me adjusted the brightness in a dark sunrise photo, she noticed what appeared to be a person sitting on the other side of her fence looking towards her house. (note to self: make sure the blinds are closed). BUT…. as long as the last 5 days have been, I finally feel that enthusiasm again: my hard drive was formatted so I got to actually play with Lightroom and adjust some photos.

 After a five-day climb….“hump day” really lived up to its name.
