PROBLEMS GALORE!

I've got problems.  All kinds of problems.  I wish I could fix them but I can't.

First of all, as a belated birthday present I got shingles on my right forehead.  At first I thought it was an insect bite but by the third day I knew something wasn't right so I went to see the doctor.  She took one look and said you've got shingles.  Shingles!  I would never have guessed that in a million years.  I am now taking an anti-viral medication and occasional pain pill to get me through this mess.  Currently I'm at the blistering stage (gross!) waiting for that to crust over and start healing (double gross!).

Next problem.  My computer got a virus in early December that we couldn't get cleaned out completely.  A message kept popping up that I was not running authentic Windows 7 and could not receive updates.  The computer tech worked on it and I worked on it but nothing made that message go away.  So I had to upload my Windows 7 program again which created another set of problems that we are trying to work out.  The internet works fine but I can't print, type a word document, locate any of my pictures, or download anything else.    Argh!

I had some additional photos from Jefferson of antique quilts from the various antique shops that would have been of interest but I don't think I will get those back.    My last back up was Wednesday of last week and I didn't upload the photos until Monday of this week.

Anyway, now that I've vented, I feel a little better.  Sorry to dump it onto all of you.  You will understand it I don't manage to get another blog entry posted within the next week.  The computer gremlins need to be exterminated.

I managed to complete the quilting and binding of my 12 Day of Christmas quilt and will post a photo later.  I'll go back to sashing the Civil War quilt now.

Onward I go --                                                  Donna
