the garden: That was rude

Just as i was preparing to make good on my
promise to post last weekend
one of those nasty thieves
trolled their way onto my computer
fooled me into clicking the wrong button
and hijacked my machine for a day.
It was Sunday
i was at Greenwood
which means i could not immediately
go to my favorite techy guys for help
and comfort.

i eventually figured out what to do
(boot up in safe mode to take control
and run the virus scan to kick the
creepy scoundrol out)
but i will just say this:

it was exhausting. And
i really don't like mean people.

Since the machine is my livelihood
and even tho i have a (slow, old) back up
i was in tense, Oh-NO mode
for 2 days.

And i still took my machine to the boys
to check it out. Just to make sure.

All's well that ends well
and i learned my lesson
(look more carefully if/when
there is a next time
before clicking).

Gratefully, it was solved easily
and quickly.
No terminal damage
no credit card/precious identity stolen.

So...that there is my
doctor's note
explaining my absense.
i will be making up those delayed posts
soon.
In the meantime
i want to share two of the magnificent
skies we've had

a sunrise

and a sunset

Very soon
maybe before the next sunset
i will make good on my promise...
