mom has crashed on the information highway
I'm not reporting on health stuff; just venting about my agitated state of mental health. It's been a techno nightmare today. I've literally spent this whole day trying to make some sense of my pictures on my camera, get them uploaded to my computer and organize them in folders. Not one ounce of success. A totally wasted day. Ever since I transferred them from my old computer they're so disorganized in mixed up in several places and I can't drag them from one folder to another like I used to. The transfering from camera to computer is also more complicated because the manual instructions don't match the screens when I open up the transfer software and it's far from user friendly. It's still a huge mess. I had no problem with the old camera and I'm really not as incompetent as you think I am; I'm not stupid. I had to go to Best Buy twice, Radio Shack once and finally Fred Meyer to get a cable problem resolved. My new camera's USB cable , that I'd never used until today ( to charge my battery and upload the pictures) was the wrong one - it didn't fit the camera's port.Must have been packed wrong at the factory. Best buy was going to charge me $58 for a new cable (because the only one they had that fit was in a package of five different sizes of cables) but after I called Paul to find out where he bought the camera, I ended up at Fred meyer and luckily they still had another of the same model camera on hand and they gave me the cord out of that box. I also spent a half hour on hold at two different times trying to reach the Tracfone people to ask to transfer my old phone number to the new phone. It's advertised in the paperwork that you can do that. They never answered me and I then tried to do it on line, but it required that I set up a new account, and led me in a circle. I then had to reset my name and password for both the blog and my e-mail. I'd always just opened them by marking them as favorites but it wasn't recognizing me today. I have all my user names and passwords written down in a WORD file and with that sheet printed out in front of me, I know I wasn't using the wrong ones. I'm giving up for today.

Amy--staying steady
Somehow I didn' t gain any weight back this week. During the week I was up two pounds from last week but somehow they came back off by this morning. Not sure how cause I was off WW last week. So I've still lost 4 pounds total. I'd like to lose 6 more. I am back on starting today.
