Maybe my husband and I take more medications than we used to, maybe we get more bills than we used to, OR&#8230; let&#8217;s be honest&#8230; maybe I just have too much fun when I&#8217;m at the computer!<\/p>\n<p>I am lucky that I don&#8217;t &quot;have&quot; to sit at my computer all day, everyday. (I think that &quot;24\/7&quot; is the current way to describe this &quot;all day, everyday phenomenon.) I am pretty sure that if I were a data entry personnel, who &quot;has&quot; to sit at the computer &quot;24\/7&quot;, I wouldn&#8217;t enjoy it. And, actually, my neck would probably ache, my back would probably hurt, my feet would probably swell, my &#8230; well you get the picture!<\/p>\n<p>But, I am so fortunate to only &quot;have&quot; to sit at my computer <b>when I want to.<\/b>&nbsp; Don&#8217;t get me wrong&#8230; I am sure many people who &quot;have&quot; to sit at the computer all day enjoy it. My husband uses the computer a lot of his working day, and when he comes home, he manages to get in several more hours at the computer. But, he is also very &quot;smart&quot; with the computer, and isn&#8217;t as easily (nor as often) frustrated by the computer.<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t think that one week has gone by since I started using the computer (years ago!) that I haven&#8217;t been frustrated by it. I remember a time when I had to <b>wait for my children to get home from MIDDLE school<\/b>, so that they could fix my computer problem&#8230; (Middle school down here in San Antonio starts with the sixth grade!) And, they quickly learned not to describe what they did to fix the problem, since I wasn&#8217;t able (or willing!) to understand. They became my own personal technical support advisers, and their $2. allowances were an amount I could afford!&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Every once in a while I have to put aside some time to &quot;take care of business&quot;&#8230;..
