Computers and Crazy Stuff January 15, 2009

A couple of weeks ago, I tried to upload Luke’s first wrestling video here and then weird things started happening. Apparently, that Internet Explorer virus thingy got me.  I needed to reinstall Windows XP, but I couldn’t find my disc. I’m convinced Best Buy didn’t give me one when I bought my computer 3 years ago. Anyhoo, I took it to a computer place to have them do it, but it would have cost $125. That’s not bad, but considering I could do it myself, I didn’t want to pay that much. Sooooo, I ended up ordering another disc from HP for $28 and fixed it myself. So satisfying!

I just got home last night from being in Omaha at the hospital visiting my Grandma. They don’t know exactly what’s wrong, but her stomach isn’t digesting the food the way it should. They’ve done a few surgeries and it still isn’t working. Not sure what they’ll do next…

While I was in Omaha, school got out early because of blizzard conditions. My in-laws were in Sioux Falls, not expecting the kids until 3:30. The kids came home at 11:30 and couldn’t get ahold of their grandparents, so they bundled themselves up and walked 1/2 mile to the neighbors. In the blizzard. They said their faces were really cold because of the wind, but they made it just fine. How crazy is that?! I may never leave home again! The school sends out an email when school lets out early, but I obviously wasn’t at my computer. My in-laws don’t carry a cell phone. I do, but it’s a tracfone that I just keep in the van. Now they at least have Eric’s cell number, which they didn’t have before. Sheesh. That could have been a real nightmare.
