well, it happened. went & took myself a nap on friday & ol' henry (the puter) deciced that he'd jest had enough. wouldn't boot up... turned the matter over to the guru son, he said "research shows that the graphics processor may have died. inoperable. you'll need a new one." fer those of ya who don't speak that sorta language (like me), it translates into "spend $120 on a new graphics thingy, i'll put it in fer ya, but he's ol' & somethin' else is jest gonna go wrong... get a new puter, mom."
i debated (not too hard, mind ya) in betwix naps all weekend, didn't have the heart to tell the hubs (who was off on a 3 day golf tournament, much needed after tendin' his mom at the hospital fer almost a week, but that's another story) and the sweet fella that offered to purchase a new puter fer me this past Christmas. oh no! i said, henry's only 5yrs old (an infant in my eyes, after all i'd sucked a good 8-12 outta desktops in the past, why not a laptop?) save yer fundin' & do somethin' fer yerself, i said....
which he did, joined the country club... so he could play more golf... it's ok, i'm a non-participatin' member. BUT, if i ever desire to play some golf, take a dip in their pool, or jest sit around & get drunk with the rest of the wives, i've a card fer that :) never mind that i don't golf, don't care fer swimmin', dont drink, have not a thing in common with any of those folks...
anyhow, finally confessed the loss of henry to him monday. he was not impressed, felt guilt about his weekend (btw, i've been sorta on the puny side the past month...) and me home alone with nothin' but critters, 100 degree temps, severe case of the "oh my gosh, i can't function" and 3 channels on the telly.
so, bein' the selfish gal that i am, i squandered enough funds to purchase my adorable horses 37 bales of hay to get back online... which the net'll be gone soon when the son moves out yet again. wonder what the hubs'll say when he comes home this eve?
what was i thinkin??
