I Think I'm Back

I might be back but I'm not sure yet. I keep having these little relapses that bug the shit out of me. Just when I think I can probably push through this flare to do something around the house, I have to cancel and go rest up a bit. At one time David thought I had COVID-19 and we went to the hospital to get tested. The ER doctor said my symptoms weren't indicative with CV-19 but we did get tested. The tes results came back a day later as negative for both of us. I told David that it was just lupus and he wouldn't listen to me. He got scared. He's fine now but very leary. This time lupus knocked me for a wallop but good. The aches and pains were bad. But hey, I pulled through and won the fight. 

David has been busy while I was stuck in bed. He received his Dell laptop that he ordered from when he was working before they let him go on a forced retirement. Every year he would order something from the company catalog for those who have 30+ years with the company and are still working. He has ordered quite a few nice things includIng a really nice rocker/recliner. Well, before he was told to retire, he ordered a Dell laptop. He got it in the mail last month and proceeded to upgrade it with a solid-state hard drive and more memory. He got it all last week and that laptop is fast as hell. He had a look at my laptop and ordered the same for mine. The goodies should be here by next week by UPS.

I finally got my new tiny camera in the mail too. I had to order another one since I dropped the old one and it shattered and popped the screen off of it. So I'm back to taking pictures again. I can even silence this one so you don't hear the flash or anything like beeping. Lucy shys away from beeping. I got a chance to try it out on Saturday when she came to ask me to take her outside.

It's a bit blurry but I did catch her. She does this to get my attention away from reading an online news paper.
She is a sweet little diversion.
Today it's a bit cooler than it's been that past few days. We've had temps in the 100's with the highest at 109. That's a first for around here. It would have been nice to have a pool to cool off in but A/C does fine. We are supposed to have thunderstorms until Wednesday but I'm not holding my breath. A minor cool front came through and I didn't know it because I'm still in pain so there was that too. I'm not going to be cooking today so David is doing that. I wonder what he's making. Probably pizza, who knows.
Well, I need to go lie down for a bit and let the pain meds work. Y'all have a magical day.

  4. I'm glad you were able to get here. I ran errands this morning and had to lay down when I got home as my headache had hit super-migraine level. It sucks having life run by pain doesn't it?

  5. I hope the pain eases off soon for you. How does one upgrade a laptop? Do you have to take it apart and fit the new drives?
