A perfect way to end my day

I forgot to mention this, Darwin Martin House was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright
 
After mic'ing and consuming a Progresso Chicken Rice can of soup for early lunch am feeling more alive.

At noon received part of the above noted Amazon shipment. CDROM Riodas BT638 Reader/Burner and a new Cherry Keyboard/Mouse all installed, up and running. Already really like the pretty white/silver $91 Cherry DW 9100 SLIM model keyboard that was on sale for $71. First time I've ever owned an expensive keyboard and already understand why others spend so much. Because the keystrokes are so natural and easy, am already typing fast with all my 10 fingers in a normal typing machine manner again that I never expected.

And have 3 new baseball style hats and a second same model synthetic shell jacket with my other blue and this one white.

I don't know about the legality of Microsoft notices. They may make suggestions, but cannot compel you to stop using your current operating system. I have one laptop still running on Windows 7, which hasn't been updated in years.

Windows operating system versions used to be supported for 10 years. Microsoft changed their policy with the release of Windows 10 by placing an end of support date of 2 years of less. If you're on Windows 10, you will no longer receive security updates or other fixes after October, 2025, but the operating system will continue to function, only without standard security protection. If that's a concern, you can still protect your system by installing third party software like AVG, Avast, Malwarebytes, etc.

Thank you. l will be adding those third party softwares. This is an expensive HP computer which l inherited from my dad
and it's specifically built to play great music.

l also have my original Windows 7 Dell laptop. l'm going to charge it up as soon as l find the electric cord that came with it.
l stopped using the laptop when lt stopped getting security updates.

Windows 10 was launched July 2015. So ten years ago.

My desktop computer has Windows 10 and an old desktop that I use for certain graphics programs (but isn't hooked up to the internet) has Windows 7.

Microsoft is offering a Windows 10 extended support for one year (through October 14, 2026) for $30.
End of support for Windows 10, Windows 8.1, and Windows 7 | Microsoft Windows

I'm not sure what I'm going to do about this, to be honest. It fries my bacon (and I don't even eat meat!) to think about buying another desktop when this one still works perfectly. Even more irritating, Windows 11 was launched in 2021, meaning It'll only be supported another 6 years, so if I buy another desktop now, I'll be in this same situation 6 years downstream.

Editing to also bring this to @Olivia's attention. :)

Have doctor appt. this morning. The cardiologist who searches for blood clots in my legs. Will be picked up at eleven. Am afraid to leave home, I'm scared. Something so wrong with me. Took .25mg Risperidone to help me. It didn't.

I guess I need positive experience with this, perhaps it will give me the boost I need.

The Risperidone did help. It just took hours to kick in. Just when I needed it to. I waited an hour and a half for the car to pick me up to take me home. When I got in the car, finally, I broke down. I cried "I want to go home." A lovely Russian lady patted me & held me!!!!!!!! with such affection and caring!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was first one in car brought home.

I didn't scream or yell. I just quietly cried. Like a broken down old lady. Which I was. But I didn't panic.
 
Rain again. No golf today. Will hit the gym for the first time in a while. Many other things to do today, including shopping for a shirt for an upcoming wedding; weeding my back garden (weather permitting); dealing with a problem with my homeowners' association; and doing some drawing and watercolors.
 
Morning all folks!!! Sunny and nice here, tho there is rain
hovering nearby...slept pretty well last nite, and awoke with
very much lighter pain load....yea....weird day yesteeday....typing not so good as got shaky hands going on....unsure about plans
for the day, prob a groc order, got coujple bills to pay, may do
a load of laundry....exciting huh??!! haha.....
 
It's been very warm here, mid 90s, so I'm in summer mode:
Wake up, turn off bedroom AC.
Open the house early (5:30 or 6:00 AM), get the fans going to blow hot air out and cool air in
Close it all up around 8 AM, or whenever it's warmer outside than in.
The LR/DR/Kitchen AC kicks on in late afternoon (it's set to 77°).
When I go to bed I shut off that AC, turn on the bedroom unit (no guests so all vents are closed except the master BR)
Open the atrium and start the very powerful fan in there that blows cool overnight air into the LR/DR/Kitchen areas.

Lather, rinse, repeat.
 
I am heading out for my walk. I started out 2 hours ago but a bathroom emergency changed my plans.

I told the hubs that old age might be fun if it weren't for all the things that plague us and constantly change our plans.

He replied with heavily biased sarcasm about my extraordinary insight into aging. "Does your genius come naturally, or is it a studied discipline?" :ROFLMAO:
 
Absolutely horribly humid today so hot due to the humidity levels , you..know when your specs steam up and you can't see and you have to keep taking them off to clean them...?🥵😎

My husband used to say that I always had a tale to tell, and I have one today.

if you remember I called Costco yesterday to ask if they had my petrol cap which I left behind, I didn't describe it so when the lady said the garage had it in their hut and described it to me I knew she had the right one. She told them I'd go and fetch it today.

I got there the guy in the hut knew nothing about it. he searched everywhere , drawers the lot.. he said it was his first day back, so he quizzed me a little about who I spoke to etc... then he made a phone call to his supervisor who said he'd thrown it out !!...Thrown it out ??? After I called them yesterday, and said I'd be there today??

So the bloke in the hut went through the garbage and pulled out my petrol cap and 2 others.!!!

I mean what sort of mentaility does this ? :oops:
