Electronic Overload

I am longing for the black and white TV set and the phone without a dial (the black one that was in the front hall). There is too much information these days, too many e-mails, and too many information sources to be checked on a routine (sometimes daily, certainly semi-weekly) basis. The day has become a blur and still not enough has been accomplished.

At least the sheets and towels are clean. Dried them on the line (saving energy for all the other electronic devices that are starting to curse my existence).

Spotted Chuck a few times today. Managed to rescue the kitties (Bud isn't the sharpest pencil in the box, you know) before they encountered the wild furry one. I can only imagine what those long, digging claws of his would do to one of the declawed ones, but it would not be pretty!

Now that the sun is getting lower, I must have time to seek and apply for a job. I spotted one in Kentucky yesterday, so there is time to get my electronic resume whipped on the Internet for submission.

The new computer arrived on Friday. It is still in the box. Maybe later tonight I will set it up (or maybe not). I need to get the files retrieved off the 9-year-old Gateway that was such a good machine. I hate it when they crash.

First on the agenda, however, is a break from the modern. It is time for an evening bike ride. Believe me, I am ready!
