First Day Thoughts

Good morning. *Big bright smile*   This is the first document and entry using the new Dell computer.  She’s working smooth.  Can’t say so much for AOL after I added perhaps a little too much protection.  Seems like I’ve locked out a few things necessary to get into the Internet proper through AOL.  Fortunately, there is Internet Explorer.   At least enough to try out a few music stations.  Had to experience the new speakers!  :) They’re very nice.  Especially after listening to sound on laptop for the last six years.  YAYYY!  This morning we’re into smooth jazz.  It’s sure nice.   

I can’t tell you how pleased we are to get the new machine.  Aha!  Just found the right place to change how big everything was.  Brought her down to 75% ... that’s about what we are used to, although I know as we start to grow blind, we can now make things bigger.  Good deal.  For now, we loaded in WordPerfect.  The Word program is on its way through DHL.  Good, good ... we’ll have two programs.  I’m a little disappointed with the fact that as we type fast, the screen jiggles.  Maybe there is a solution for that?  We’re working on a regular table, so cannot drop the keyboard.  Hmm, s’pose I’ll get used to it.  Maybe partly to do because it’s a flat panel and has a small base.  Not enough to ship her back :)   

I’m going to have a hard time leaving her for the first few days, but by then we’ll be on a four day vacation.  YAYYYY!  That will give us some time with her.  Think it’s hard for me to go the in-between time of no computer.  By that, I mean driving.  You have to know that the first thing we do when we get into work is turn on those two computers.  Ahh, like fresh air!  Shoot shoot, going to have to leave for a few minutes already to take our shower.  That will be like a baby test.  Last night after sitting down in the recliner before bed, we needed to turn the chair just to see her sitting so pretty.  She’s mostly black with a little silver.  Ahh, appropriately the song plays, “Take My Heart!”  

Mmm, that’s done!  Still have 14 minutes :)   Seems like we’re a far ways away from work thoughts, maybe we’re going to need concentrating on that for a few moments.  Let’s see work.  Need to bring back work computer. Good, good.  Backto CARF :) Think we need to do staff training today too. *Sigh* that’s getting old. Like to be back in the office.  3-4 hours away each day is a strain.  Well, actually it’s nice to be around the clients, but it is a different kind of work.  Watching that fine balancing line between what they are doing and are supposed to be doing.  It will be nice that there aren’t any groups this week due to being gone Thursday and Friday on Easter break.    We’ll have to see, of course, what is in the mail box.  Hopefully not too much.  Think I went home with a messy desk last week.  Straighten that up and go over staff training notes.  Shouldn’t be too bad.  Need to prepare myself for Sr. Tess.  She won’t be real happy we were gone yesterday.  Can’t rewrite that.  Work toward being back in the office.  Yayy!   

Ok, ok ... enough work thoughts.  I’m going to have to leave ... I can do this, right?
