Technical issues and successes. In the past three weeks, my car battery has died and been replaced. Immediately after returning home from that, the garage door wouldn't lift. (After 2 days of troubleshooting, it too simply needed a fresh battery, believe it or not, after 7 years.) Thirdly, my battery for the leaf blower didn't take a charge (a very expensive battery). At this point, I decided I was draining all batteries. Then I discovered, it was not firmly attached to the charger. Successes: today, after a long time without my Image Maker software and my digitizing software, I have successfully reinstalled and upgraded and should be ready to hit the ground "running" tomorrow (except I have to learn all the new bells and whistles, but so far it won't let me into the training section.) Lost them both when I went through that horrible time where I suffered two fatal computer crashes in a row. I am happy, happy, happy. It's the little things in life that make us happy. Like, not feeling like a techie failure.

A high five to you for even being able to figure out all those battery issues. You are my hero! I'm so glad you are up and running and soon we will be seeing lots of posts of all your completed projects.

There are days like that. Best thing is to keep your sense of humor which you have accomplished. Hoping better days are coming.
