One task sorted out. Only a couple dozen more to go?

Yes, that is about right. I wanted to see if some local places offered a comparable computer for a similar price. Best Buy seems to only sell what the big companies cannot quite get rid of. The largest RAM offering, I think, was 3 where I want 8. The man I was dealing with after the girl gave up (she gave up before I even had time to ask a question) did not know if the 3 gig system could be upgraded or how much if so. Honestly, he had no clue. I finally just gave up and told him I would go online and look, but I already realized from talking to him that there will be nothing there. The little he did know was enough to convince me. The local company could offer me such a system, but not at a comparable price. They did have a 3 year free warrantee, which would have possibly brought them into competition, however they are not national, only serving Iowa and Illinois. Their warrantee would have been next to useless in Utah. Still, I like that I have a good computer build at a price that is hard to beat. On the down side, it will take about two weeks from the time of the order to get the machine. They offer express order, and I will check on that, but the machine as is runs pretty close to the financial line. I may see if there is a local outlet (such as a kiosk) for HP, barring that, I will order. This process is taking more time than what I thought it would, as usual.

I will be starting on laundry, place a few calls, and figure out what to do next. The bedroom is waiting, patiently. I have a few dishes to do. But really, I am looking forward to doing these things. It is nice to feel energetic, to have goals I can accomplish, to have things to do right before me as well as to have situations I must work with to find only eventual resolution. That may help me become and stay more active. Creating one’s own physical reasons to exist is difficult. Since I cannot follow the normal drum beat, therefore I am too difficult to work with, it is what I have left to me. I am not sure if I am without a master or unable to have a master, which leaves me as my own master. I suppose everyone has that to some degree. What is the term for it, ronin? Yes, something like that. There is, of course, God. But God does not quite have that deep of instruction. He offers more a way than the what. No, that is my job. Who knows, if I find a fine woman, perhaps she can help in this area at least to some degree. Just pointing out some things she would like, some tasks which would be good, and then leaving me alone to it, mostly. Well, I should quit mind wandering and get to some of this.

Ok, my list for today… find out if HP has a local outlet, call about the automobile, figure out which clothes will be going away, pack those items, and deliver them, do the few dishes I have, do three or four loads of laundry, do some sweeping and mopping, and probably place an order for my computer.

Oh, right. This morning I was so sore. It felt like I had ridden a horse all night, or for several days really, then got blackjacked. The headache is mostly gone. Tylenol works well. And, a very long very hot shower helped the leg and thigh muscles relax. I am still a bit sore but, whatever. Sometimes I am sore but so tired I do not even know. Though that might seem better, it is not. Oddly, I guess, what I am saying is that feeling sore is an improvement. *laughs* *ouch* Have a great day. If it hurts a bit, be glad you are aware. If it hurts a lot, quit doing what you did. :P

It seems I forgot to post this. But I do have an update.

After a bit of digging, I found the HP no longer has kiosks. I went online, looked over the order, then placed a call to their order department. I am glad I did, I had not added a monitor cord. I also added a 3 year in house warrantee, which I am not so sure about. It also means that I cannot tinker with the thing without voiding warrantee, I believe. In time, I might very well like to add a second hard drive. Having a super fast hard drive for the OS is a luxury. But since I spend a lot of time on the machine, I might as well have what I want. This thing should be fast enough, as is, however, for the time being. The order is placed. I am told, once everything goes through, the non-computer components should be shipping today. The computer itself will be completed by the 16th and will arrive no later than the end of next week. If I am lucky, it will be here earlier.

I called the automobile financing center. Guess who answers? Yes, the woman who has been such a pain in my side. Further, she refuses to allow me to speak with a supervisor with out first giving all the details. I hung up. I will try in a bit. All of these things are taking up much more time than I anticipated. Oh bother, it will all get done, in it’s own time, I suppose. Back to the list, after a load is in and some sorting has been done, I will try the financing center again. If this does not work, I will take the auto back. The bother.
