7:45 AM
I am waiting for someone to come and work on my wheelchair today. I don't have a good feeling about this because the man said the repairs would only take about an hour to an hour and a half, when someone else in his company first said it would take eight hours. That's quite a difference in time. I think that either he doesn't know what he's about to do or hes trying to get away with doing less than he should.
My niece, her husband, and their two children -- ages three years, and six months -- came over to see me yesterday and work on my computer. As it turns out, the computer problem is probably being caused by some special software I use. That means I need to install the software again. That would be fine except for one thing -- I can't find the original software. I looked everywhere I can and just can't find it. My sister is coming over today and while she is here, I'm planning on her doing a software hunt. That should keep her busy and out of my hair.
As I was getting ready for bed last night the phone rang. It was my brother calling. He said that he had arranged for a family reunion at his house next Sunday. He wanted to know if I could make it. I stupidly said yes. Now I'm trying to find a way out of that. I think the only way I can come up with is to pray for large snowfall or blizzard.

Jim - u really are a funny man. In my estimation praying for a snowfall never works, i know this because my hubby is always praying for it so he can go sledging with his mats - (he\'s 32 by the way!!!!) lol The muppet!
Have u thought about looking for the software on the internet? My husband owns a computer business in the next town, if u tel me what the software is, then maybe he can be of some help for you....just a thought. Hope ur day goes well. x

Good Morning, If I\'m not going to get a big snowfall, then I\'m going to have to find something else. That\'ll keep me occupied for the rest of the day.
I have found the software on the Internet, but I don\'t really want to spend as much as a costs. The software is called Dragon Naturally Speaking, which is voice activation software. Using the program I just talked into a microphone and everything I say is typed for me. It\'s really cool and makes life a lot easier for me. It will typed up to 106 words per minute, which is a lot more than I can even say! I don\'t think anyone in my family can talk that fast, although my sister could probably give it a good try.
Have a good day. Jim
I finally found my software. It was resting underneath a pile of papers on my tidy desk. lol
