Regular readers know that I am almost always tired on Tuesday, hence the Tired Tuesday post. Today was even worse, because being the first day back at work after a four day break, it was also my Monday. I feel guilty complaining about it. I am sure many will judge me: you had four days off, you bum! What have you got to be tired about? Well, I am definitely too tired to have THAT argument in my head again.
My day was brightened somewhat this morning when I realized it was, in fact, Tuesday, meaning I only have a four day week. I enjoyed my four day week last week. Perhaps I could do the same this week. One thing I was resolved on: I was going to handwrite a blog post during breaks so that I could go to the library after work and make my blog post on a real computer, not my Tablet. Additionally, I could easily check all my emails (I have a few different accounts), at least one of which I had to answer. Oh, and Facebook message a cast member of Secrets at Suiter House. Just to show you what a full plate I had.
Naturally, things did not go as I planned. They never do; I’m not even sure why I bother to make plans, but never mind that now. First, I was too tired to write anything. Then I got a message from my husband, Steven, that the laptop was ready for pick up TODAY, not Friday as scheduled. It obviously behooved me to call and change my pick-up appointment to today, and to drive to New Hartford (NY, not CT), and get the laptop. Then I could skip the library. Although, now that I think about it: the library is closer, and I could have gotten out more books. I like books.
Of course it took longer than expected to accomplish this, and traffic is often a problem in that area. However, I mustered what patience I could, and now I am sitting on my couch, typing my blog post into the laptop. I checked my email, answered what I needed to, sent the message I wanted to, and even looked at Facebook for a bit (don’t judge me).
I’m thinking this is a foolish post, even for a Tired Tuesday. There are a lot more interesting things I could write about than my stupid computer problems. If only I wasn’t so tired! Let that be a lesson to me — oh wait, this is a lesson I have told myself many times and I haven’t learned it yet: Have blog posts written in advance, so in case of just such an emergency, I will have only to hit Publish. Waaaait a minute! That sounds suspiciously like Plan Ahead. What did I say earlier about making plans?

You can not only write your post ahead of time but you can schedule it to publish when you want to also. Scary technology!
As a matter of fact, I utilized that technology some years ago when we had computer issues. I was posting at the library, which is closed on Sunday. On Saturday I said, “Hey, I’ll try this!” It worked! And have I had my act together to do it ever since? NO!
It is enough to understand technology, you don’t have to use it! Frankly all the technology in the world is not enough for me to get my act together.
Same here!
