Thursday Thoughts
Sep. 12th, 2019 06:37 pmLittle later in the day that I would like to get to this and I did have coffee.
Today I was very glad I invested in Apple Care. Peter’s Mac was having a connectivity issue with the Internet. It would work for a bit and then crap out entirely until the computer was restarted. I took it in at the appointed time and had it checked out. Hardware was fine which is a good thing. The Genius then proceeded to use various tools to find malware that had snuck past the virus scans and a couple of other troublesome things that we got rid of including what looked to be a Russian bot of some sort. Brought it home and plugged it in. It seems to be working fine but now I know what to look for if it happens again. The cost to me was nothing because it is covered under Apple Care.
We finally had to replace our cable boxes so now I have to reprogram everything that we had programmed in. On the plus side, it got rid of all the shows that were concluded or cancelled. But I have to remember to do it. But now when there are three things on at the same time, we can record them so that helps with certain days.
Caroline took a wig styling class at DragonCon and she proved to be a natural at restyling synthetic wigs. She is now eager to restyle a number of cos-play wigs that she has which are a bit of a mess. She is also eyeing her next sewing project.
Most of the things I got done were household chores that needed to be done and Peter’s computer problem. And that’s fine. I am not stressing out about what I thought I was going to be able to do as compared to what I did. It has been hard to get to that point but I think I am there.
I have a plan for tomorrow and hope to execute it. But right now the kitchen is in good shape and the cats boxes are clean and that is enough for today.
I am grateful to the Genius Bar for being able to figure out what was going on with Peter’s computer.
