Triple Blue Prickles
I have been in the throes of such hissy fits lately. I am trying to update my computer, get my laptop running, and backup my photos. Obstacles arise with every improvement. Opportunities for being triggered abound.
I have received extensive help from many, but I'm still back where I began, practically. I have locked up all of the baseball bats in the house, lest I use them destructively somewhere in my "network".
Last night, the beloved of a dear and close personal friend came far out of his way to assess my current system. He plugged in his own wireless router as an experiment. It allowed me to see that, if it ever came to pass that I owned one personally, I would be able to use my laptop in my house. He hid his shock over the primative condition of my setup, and made recommendations. Poor guy, didn't leave until very late, and his sweet puppy was waiting for him in the car the whole time. If only I had known.
He helped me to restore my ability to download photos from my camera after almost two weeks. I also found out, I think, what I might do, if I could find the right chord in the snake's nest under my desk, to restore my sound. However, after he left, when I went to google something, I couldn't connect to the internet. I slipped into the Black Hole of Calcutta for an hour or so trying to see what was broken. I was too upset to sleep. I finally tried rebooting my computer, which worked, but not before my Emotional Body was all in an uproar.
