What a diff'rence a day [off] makes...
Nov. 25th, 2009 11:00 amWoke at 5. Instead of tossing, turning, and waking Z, I got up and worked. I cleaned up the computer & prepared it for an upgrade to Snow Leopard. Yes, I'm a bit of a technologically backward idiot, but I live with a software engineer. If I want my technology maintained, it must be up to date. No patience in this house for supporting outdated software. So it's getting a total clean upgrade-- format, install, restore from backup. Then I'm going to dl the 30-day trial of Scrivener, and if I like it, then I know what to ask for for Xmas.
So... No computer for a fewhours. (gulp.) iPhone to the rescue. Am ensconced in the Sewing Lair. And... Well, scant consolation is that I'm not a moron, but the price of this is that the easy fix the Singer tech told me? Ineffective. I still have no feed dogs. (well, I have then, and they move, but about 1/16th inch too low, which means they do absolutely nothing.
So everyone's gifts will be made on the Elna, I guess? For now. Waiting to hear more nuggets of wisdom from anonymous Singer email tech support, but not holding my breath.
Fuck.
Scuse my French.
