Today
I did go for two short walks today and that was good. What was bad is that there is a muscle in my right hip–the "real" hip as opposed to the left one which is metal– that is really hurting. I took music and walked fast for a short distance. Still, as my committment is to walk twice a day for three days at least this week, I can take tomorrow off.
I am getting very frustrated with my new IMac computer camera. I can’t turn the damned thing on! It is built in and on the laptop when I open Photobooth, the camera comes on automatically and I see myself. But on the IMac, when I turn on Photobooth, there is a blank screen and an icon of a camera wjth a line through it. And when I go to the drop-down menus, the "Turn camera on" option is greyed out. Someone at the computer shop said it was because the camera must be on in the IChat program. I checked. It isn’t. I guess I will go through the Applications folder and see if anything else might be using the camera…
The temperature here today has been in the middle sixties and it has felt like fall rather than summer. Not that I am complaining, mind you! But it did seem a little odd to be putting on a long-sleeved top to sit outside in the sun in August!

I love an early fall, weather wise. You have so much to do with that new computer! It’s got a lot of bells and whistles!

I’m sure you’ll figure out the camera thing. You’re like me—you’ll wrestle that thing to the ground and pin it to the mat before you give up!!! And, of course, you’ll win!

I’d be happy if technology stayed right where it was…no upgrades necessary. At least in the electronics department. LOL

I’ll be glad when we get that kind of weather. It was in the 80’s today, which was a better temperature than it has been here! I hope your hip feels better. Hopefully, exercising will help it some. (((Hugs)))

I bet you will have the camera figured out in no time! You are good with things like that. We’ve had coolish weather for this time of year….until yesterday, when it got to 91 (after the forecast had said eighty-one!!). hugs, Weesprite

I can’t wait for summer to start here! Spring begins next week.

Hope you get your camera to work. Why not call Mac? I use to make short videos with Photobooth.
