Middle Aged Mumser Madness



It is middle aged madness here for the Mumster.  The new laptop has arrived, although lovely mum is feeling kind of crazy.  The passwords that she doesn't remember, the new apps and things that are unfamiliar make her feel like a real old person, she is sure the teenagers would pick it up straight away.  Thank goodness it does turn on and actually work, when our old laptop continues its sad terminal death.  Thank goodness she doesn't have to work at the weekend, and has little planned, she'll be trying to figure out some stuff.  I'll be here to snoopervise and keep her company.

Mum got a bit more sleep last night, and is ready to hit the sheets soon and get a good 7 hours in. It will be a busy old day at work for her tomorrow, and it is best to be rested and not yawning when talking to patients.  She is on her feet for most of the day, so has to be ready to keep going for a steady 8 hour shift.

So after telling you all about snuggling with her, I refused to snuggle up last night and slept at her feet.  The weather is meant to turn bad again soon, so I am sure it may happen again.

Oh - and the tv show I am watching is a cooking one.  They are down in the South Island of NZ and talking about the truffles they grow there.  Interesting.

  2. Being able to work a computer is insignificant, Poppy. Your mum helps people at her job every day. How many teenagers are doing that?

  4. Good luck to your mum re: her new laptop. I need a replacement for mine (at home), but (a) don't want Windows 8.anything and (b) really dislike the thought of trying to get up to speed on everything new and get it all set up. LOL.

    When your mum has it all sorted out, she can hire her services out for the rest of us middle-aged mumsters. :-)

  9. Poppy, dear, please tell your mum to consider hiring a guru/geek who makes house calls. For a small sum, a nice man comes to my house once a year to cleanse the hardware, do weird rites with the software, and create back-up CDs "just in case". ("Snoopervise" is a wonderful word! I'm going to adopt it!)
