Computer Woes
A quick blurb. I need to talk about this.
I HATE DEALING WITH COMPUTERS!
This is why I didn't follow with continuing wireless when I went to college! I just spent three days trying to fix my Mac, which had decided to be so difficult updating the OS. Trying to update to the Yosemite OS X fucked up and before I realized it, I had lost the ability to get into my computer. Thinking that Time Machine had been doing its job, I opened it thinking that it had done its job and had a backup to my computer.
IT DIDN'T.
My only option to get out of the loop was to repartition the drive and try to install again through the internet. Yosemite wouldn't work no matter what and finally the the install from the internet noticed and changed to OS X Lion like I had originally when I first bought my Mac. Still didn't work. I looked up on my phone the Apple forums and saw what others were trying to do to fix the same problems and it all just came down to continuous restarts and hope that it would work eventually. I tried this for three days.
It took all day. Didn't help that I was also going through some problems with my bank at the same time, thinking that I wouldn't get back my money for the rent. I literally wanted to give up on life. Everything was going wrong. What a way to start the week,
Miraculously, the next thing I hear is my computer speaking with instructions on how to setup your Mac for the first time. Happy day! Right after that I got the money back in my band account and was able to pay my rent.
Hallelujah!
My Lord, today has to be one of the craziest up and downs that I have ever encounter. All in a matter of five hours!
OK I'm done.
I needed to say my complaint somewhere.
If you read this far: why? Leave a comment telling me cause this is more for me to rant than for people to read.

Looks Like Clear Skies
Today there seems to be a lot of things going right for me. This is a blessing for once, cause things don't go bad, but they don't particularly go swell either. Life is a lot of hits and misses, more misses than hits. The few good hits that come I am not going to complain about though. Some people would get a great opportunity and then complain about how long it took to get there. Who cares? Its finally here. Ungratefuls.
I didn't wake up expecting anything great. Today was just a normal day of heading to the clinic to check my blood count. I had some plans for later in the day, my bed was finally coming in! I could finally sleep in my own room. I love my mother and she's not a bad sleeper, but I'm far too old to be sleeping with my mother and I have my own space now, its too cramped sharing it with her. We were together all the time last year when we had no place and were staying at the Ronald McDonald house, so I guess now that's why I really treasure my own space.
I had a lot of me moments today. The older brother had to get his own life situations settled today so I had no one to go with me to the clinic like I usually do. Also no one to drive me there either. First time experience driving to my own appointment, even the parking attendant noticed. I didn't realized I had a recognizable face. I guess after seeing my face for a year, she pretty much can pick it out in a crowd by now. It's amazing how there are some people who can't remember people's faces. It's the first thing I remember. I may not remember your name, but I definitely will remember seeing you somewhere. Especially if I've seen you more than once. I'm horrible with names. Figures, since my own people can't seem to get right. I don't know if its a spelling or pronunciation problem, but I personally think I spell my name the way that it's written. With a bit of a Spanish flare to it.
The doctor's visit went fine. I really wished someone else was there, just because I feel like I would have forgotten something the doctor would say and then screw myself over. I think I got everything, I wrote it down in my notes on my phone. (Thank you technology!) My biggest concern was making sure the paperwork for me to medically drop my summer course was found, since somehow the exchange of the papers made it disappear. I really hope it doesn't get rid of the one grade I received this summer. That was a well earned A- and I am not going to retake that class again. I can't believe I passed with that grade in the first place, considering I've had brain surgery and had to write a 8 page report for the class. Yeah, no, definitely not going to retake that course. Besides, that's also one less class to take in order to finish my degree. If I can make my time shorter, I will. I really want to get my degree. There's so much that I can do once I have it and my life is on this pause until I get it. It's sort of weird that cancer is only seen as like a pause button on my life and not like something that could end my life and everything that I've been building up for it. Nope. I don't see it like that at all.

My room is ready for action! I almost bought LEGO Lord of the Rings today, just because, but I didn't. 1) I had to get my nephew his birthday present (LEGO Star Wars) and 2) I rather put down for the preorder of Kingdom Hearts Remix 2.5. So excited for that game! Kingdom Hearts is my fandom when it comes to video games, as Harry Potter is my fandom when it comes to books. I love them so much. I will throw it down in either fandom and watch you burn with my knowledge. It's that serious. Judge. I don't care.
I WILL GO DOWN WITH THIS SHIP!
With my bed finally in its rightful place in my room, I can finally get started on playing Watch Dogs. I've been hearing good things about the game and it better live up to the hype. I need to start working on my vibe for my room now. It needs just a little bit more...me. Heh.
Today was a very good day. Things are getting done and looks like my life is moving on forward, even though there is this bump in the road, I can roll over it. As I was taught when I was learning how to drive, you gotta watch out for the muertos on the road, but keep going.
