Plans for the Day

The woman at the ophthalmologist’s office called me and said Dr. Wood had looked at the MRI and there was no sign of any tumors. Not that we really thought there was, but sometimes glaucoma is caused by this and he was ruling out a possibility. It really shows you how much confidence I have in him that my super-sensitive-to-cancer mind didn’t take the idea of cancer and run with it! Anyway, although I wasn’t worrying about it, I was glad to hear that particular possibility was out of the way.

This morning I have to take my baby, my IMac, in to the shop to get the internal ISight camera fixed. At first, I thought to myself, "Well, I don’t use it all that much. Why not just let it go?" {The Macbook laptop I have has a camera that works,} But, no, if it is new. I want it to work. I felt the same way about taking my Kia in to get it fixed. There was just a scrape in the front and a bit of paint chipped off so why not let it go and do some riotous living with the insurance check? I had it fixed because it is relatively new and I want to keep it looking that way for as long as possible.

OK, stuff to deal with today:

• change out of slippers and into shoes so I can walk in the wet grass and pick some tomatoes.
• call the computer shop and ask if they want me to bring along the external disk where all the Time Machine back-ups are. {I did this; they don’t}
• remember when I get there to ask do they want my admin password. They may not because one of the things John had me do was to make a new admin account cleverly called "testuser" which is not password protected. However, even if he does want the password, I know how to reset it.
• Make sure to ask about not having to pay for this since I am still in the warranty period.
• Check to see if the store has the more advanced Leopard how-to book and look at it. Leopard is the newest version of the OS X operating system, and the one the IMac has,  and I would like to know more about the bells and whistles, I think. I bought a beginning book and was quite chuffed to find that I knew most of what is in there!
