Frustrating Computer Virus




Well, Friday I managed to download a malware virus thing onto the computer that caused all kinds of havoc on the computer. It interfered with my internet access and continued to have pop-ups indicating that my computer was unprotected. I usually don't fall for these scams but I wasn't paying very close attention. This particular one looked almost exactly like our normal pop-up for the computer. I hit fix and before I know it......virus. What a mess! Thankfully, I have a wonderful mother who works with computers for a living. She helped me find a program to download that helped to eliminate the program. But during all of this we managed to screw up our internet connection and our wireless router is no longer working. So we managed to get our computers cleaned up but only one of us can be on the internet at a time. Very frustrating for a couple who had free access on our own computers when we wanted. We are getting used to the idea of "taking turns." Which is a big thing I'm trying to teach the kids right now. How very ironic. My birthday is in a couple of weeks so hopefully Mom will come up and fix it so we have our own computers again.

Saturday I wasn't feeling very well. The rest of the family was fine so I must have eaten something that didn't agree with me. I had nausea and loose bowels all day. But it must have made it through my system because this morning I woke up feeling back to my old self. I really appreciated Dwayne's help yesterday hitting the chores I didn't get to during the week. Today we went grocery shopping and then spent the rest of the day chilling in the house as a family. Overall, not a bad weekend but it goes way too fast. Back to work for Dwayne tomorrow. But at least he still has a job at this point. The good news is Friday afternoon the equivalent position that will be based out of Denver was posted. Maybe Monday the local one will be? We'll see........
