Learned something new today. 

Hais’s brand new tablet computer fell off of her bed last night and she could not get it to boot. She contacted tech support (in India somewhere) and they “diagnosed” something was wrong with the hard drive. That left me having to drive to Wichita today to see about getting it repaired. Best Buy said that it could take a month or longer to get the computer back. Time was important, since in a bit over a month, Hais will be leaving for college. She was a bit panicked over the Comp papers store on the computer…that are due tomorrow, as well.

This is the first time that I have been in a Best Buy since the Geek Squad had been introduced and I must say that I was somewhat impressed. Well the short of the story is…..the lady at Best Buy had no difficulties what-so-ever booting the computer. I guess it just needed a bit of rest and recovery from its heavy fall onto the wood floor of Hais’ bedroom.

Lesson learned today….before you drive two hours to turn in an insurance claim on your daughter’s computer first make certain that it is indeed damaged and then right before you leave….check it again.

The upside of all of this was that I was able to shop a little while I was in Wichita. Found the perfect Marilyn Monroe poster for Hais’ dorm room and had fun at the Super Target. I must really be boring if this was the highlight of my day…haha!

DD1 (we have to decide an alias for her soon) has moved back up here, from Texas, to attend summer school with Hais. This is the first time in many years that they have attended the same school at the same time. Both are taking 6 hours this first summer session and after the first day, both realize the huge challenge before them.

Life promises to become very interesting these next few weeks, as the stress of working…taking classes…and still wanting to be a kid…all mesh together in this short semester. I hope that all of you will be sending me good vibes and lots of positive thoughts to get us through these weeks.

Well the last child will soon be on her way to making her own life.

Hais graduated on May 16th.

Today is the last day that my baby walks through her school’s doors as a student. Graduation is tomorrow. Family has already begun to arrive. The house isn’t ready, nor is the Hall for her reception following commencement…..but it somehow it doesn’t matter. I cannot believe I am going to let people see my house in the disarray it is in…but somehow it doesn’t matter.

I am not certain, but I think I may have my comments thingy fixed. I have no idea why or how the problem came about, nor I am certain how I fixed it, but I hope it stays fixed.

We have been sooo busy here getting ready for Hais’ graduation next week. My baby is on her way to being on her own soon.
