One thing though… When you make a mistake (like entering the
wrong beginning balance of the checking account—and I thought I had been so
careful), you can sure learn a lot about the software as you figure out how to
correct it!
I’m really grateful I was able to even work on Quickbooks
Sunday. That’s because on Saturday my laptop went kerbluey. Did you know an
alarm sounds when it has trouble with the hard drive? Yeah, I didn’t either. I
first thought we were having a weather emergency!
I wrote down all the codes and passwords listed on the
screen (before it shut down) and gave it to my husband to sort out while I went
down to Cincinnati
It worked! He’s is the BEST. EVER. Spent over two hours on
the phone with Dell and got all the drivers re-installed along with Windows 10.
I was told it shouldn’t happen again, but then I didn’t think it should have
happened in the first place! The computer is only a month old!
So, between Quickbooks and my writers’ meeting, I didn’t get
any crocheting done. Boo hoo. L Maybe next weekend.
Hey, did I get my wish, or did I get my wish? I got my
wish! Carolina and Denver Carolina
So… How was your weekend? Hopefully less hectic than mine.
Of course, if you live where the storm came through, you probably didn’t. Go
ahead, you can gripe to me in the comments. I don’t mind!

We were safely out of storm range, I'm glad to say. I hope it's not a physical problem with your hard drive, though I would think that would be covered under warranty. Have a great week!
Jeff - According to Dell, there's nothing wrong with my hard drive. I guess it was just the driver software. Of course, now I'm having problems with the wifi (same issue I had with my previous laptop). Can't blame the house, because the living room computer and my phone are both picking up wifi. I swear, I can't win!
You'd think a month-old computer would be under warranty. It should never have died like that. At least it's fixed now.
I know how frustrating computers can be.
Maria - Oh, it's under warranty. They were just able to fix it over the phone (and remote access). If they couldn't I would have had to turn it in. That wouldn't have been nice. Yes, computer are frustrating. They get you to depend on them and then pfffffttttt! :)
I was a founding member of the Nashville RWA chapter and was secretary and newsletter for several years. It's a LOT of work, so I feel your pain! Rewarding, but exhausting. I was young at the time, though, so I had the energy to work full-time, write, and do all that.
Stephanie - I'm not young, but at least I don't have an outside job. I don't think I would have volunteered if I had. Funny thing is, I enjoy the work. Good thing I can do it when hubby is home (unlike writing), thus I save it for the weekend.
