That was the week that was

lizziebelleIt's been a fairly stressful week. My mom was in the hospital; she had what they called an "asthma event," but she's home now and doing much better. Apparently this lit a fire under the senior housing folks to find her a ground-floor unit and a better parking space; she has to move in two weeks, but that is less stressful for her than facing winter in the unit she's in now, where she has to climb either a hill or stairs to get out. She's having the movers do all the packing this time. She has a visiting nurse twice a week, and they're going to see if they can get her housekeeping help as well. It was tough to go through, but some good things came out of it.
I had a day of discomfort when my digestive system rebelled and gave me a rumbly tummy. It was a gorgeous day, and I could't get out and enjoy it. I did sit out on the deck for a while, but I would rather have been able to go out for a walk. *sigh*
Then my MacBook decided to go all wonky on me. I got the spinning ball of death, and when I tried to reboot, it wouldn't. It would get partway, and then just go black. I talked to a nice fella at Apple, who had me try a couple of things, which didn't work, so he made an appointment for me at the Apple store for Tuesday, the first available slot. I was able to get onto Guest mode, which is internet-only (and Safari to boot, not my favorite), so I can get email and a few other things, but none of my programs, including my photos. Argh. Cross your fingers it's just a software glitch or something, because there's no way I can afford a new computer right now. I don't know what I'll do if she's unfixable.
All of which has left me woefully behind in NaNoWriMo. I've been able to access Google Drive, so I can at least pound out some words and not lose them, but my mind has been elsewhere. I'm not going to fret about it (too much). I can only do what I can do.
At least I had a good week at work, despite missing a day. And it was nice enough all week to sit outside for lunch.
