My new laptop was delivered on the 27th. I got it all ready to use on the 28th. I’m calling it IceBlue, since that’s the color of it. My old computer was called BigRed because it was red. And while the screen on BigRed is an inch smaller than IceBlue’s, IceBlue is a smaller laptop (by about an inch wide and deep). Go figure.
One thing I HATE about Windows 11
is that it uses One Drive. I HATE One Drive. I thought I had disabled it on my
travel laptop, but apparently I didn’t as the files from that computer showed
up on IceBlue. I realized I needed to uninstall it. So I did. On IceBlue and the
Travel laptop.
Talk about an annoying software.
I purposely do NOT use the cloud.
I don’t trust it. So no way would I use One Drive. I’ll just manually transfer
whatever files I need to my travel laptop when I’m traveling. Besides, a lot of
my traveling is on a cruise ship, so I doubt I would even be able to access the
files I want through One Drive. The internet is not everywhere.
Here’s what I read since my last
update:
Book 34
Title: Ice Planet Octogenarians: Haroom’s Harmonance
Year of publication: 2025?
Author: Opal Mason
Genre: Science Fiction Rom Com
Series: Ice Planet #1
# of Pages: 219
Paper or plastic: Trade paperback
How obtained: ARC from author
Blurb from Book: Ice Planet Barbarians Meets Golden Girls!
You’d think being eighty-five years old would protect you from being kidnapped by sex-trafficking space aliens. But you’d be wrong.
Because my friends and I took out the slave traders only to crash-land on an ice-ball of a planet called “Oog.”
The natives here are huge and purple, with feet like beaver tails, two thumbs on each broad hand, and towering antlers. You wouldn’t think they’d be interested in a quartet of eighty-somethings, but their tribe is really short on females.
Also, their saliva contains a chemical that, when applied to the right location, turns back the clock on these rickety old bodies.
Before you judge us, let me ask you this: What if you were standing so close to the Grim Reaper you could see the whites of his eyes? And what if a strapping young fellow came along and offered you the chance to be twenty-five again?
Do you really think you’d turn that down?
Recommend: Yes, once it’s published
My thoughts: This was fun to read. I was asked to beta read this book because the author is still working on the series and needs some help. Once she has all four books finished, they will be available for sale. And when they are, I’ll be getting them.
So… 2024 is about over. It wasn’t a horrible year for me
(heck, I’m technically in remission, so…yay!). Well, it wasn’t horrible until I
had to fix the water heater, get a new washing machine and a new laptop. Here’s
hoping all my electronics work in 2025!
Happy Reading!
Stacy
