This day was good until I got home

In spite of the early labs, today went well even if I bored a passel of h.s. school visitors. They bring them to a computer lab because that's exciting. If nothing else I got to see baby quail hatch out.

And it went better than expected at the dentist (in spite of it taking 2 hours). The tooth doesn't need crowned. He rebuilt the broken bit with amalgam. He had done the same thing with the one I had the crown on last year and hell that lasted 7 years so...here's hoping. He was surprised it didn't hurt since the dentin was exposed. However it took three injections to numb the damn thing up.

Then I got home and tried to upload stuff to my tablet and I've been having issues with it. It keeps saying it's full. The only thing I can think of is when I'm deleting stuff it's not going away but I don't see how to empty the recycle bin without emptying EVERYTHING off the storage.

And then I turned on Jana's stuff to see that the infighting has reached a fevered pitch and a lot of people are quitting the genre I write in. I haven't seen the issue but I know mostly what it is (I've been avoiding social media for a while) people deciding you can't write this or that because you AREN'T this or that etc etc. Very tired old arguments that I'm staying away from.

And then I turned on my laptop and the only things on was the edge browser's homepage and the solitaire app and up springs the antivirus program saying it caught a virus and I have to restart to finish getting rid of it. Let's just say it failed. I'm sick to my stomach. I haven't even had this two months. I've packed it up and I'll take it in and see if my IT guys will look at it for me. How the hell can you get a virus thru an app or a homepage? I loathe computers many days.

And to be honest the bad stuff didn't happen just at home. L stopped by to tell me about our mutual friend the one with cancer. She was trying to put a positive spin on it and maybe multiple myeloma does have a good cure rate but you could see she was struggling to tell me this. Our friend's entire axial skeleton is involved in the cancer and a visible lump formed on her breast bone in just the last week. I'm really afraid it's too late. Sigh.

I've been so depressed I haven't been writing. someone come poke me into it.

And to top it off the toilet backed up.

I do have some fun things to share
