Well the old mans computer has reached the point that I am going to pay someone else to fix it for me. it had such a bad virus that it destroyed so much of his machine, and I had to wipe it clean, but the problem is that the virus ate so much that the machine no longer realizes it has a DVD/CD player, so it wont read the information from the DVD to reinstall the windows onto the machine. I have cried, and struggled, and gone blind trying to make this old man's computer better, but its just beyond what I can do, and thats saying alot. I called a pro in the big city who is a friend of a friend. I will end up having to pay to fix this machine, but the old man who owns it simply cant. His son is in Japan and they use this machine to stay in touch, so he is antsy to get it back.

I have realized I am not the girl I used to be. once upon a time I would have arm wrestled this thing into submission, but now, its worth it for me to pay for this repair so I can get it off my plate. I dont want any work on my table while MIL is here, and its become too stressful.

Thanks for letting me whine. Its so rare that I break into tears. I have had enough.
