wherein Liz is hot, tired, and annoyed

I wish my computer was better at indicating that it's downloading updates, since that tends to reduce my internet connection to a snail's pace because all the bandwidth is already in use. *sigh* On the bright side, I think it's done for now, which means I may be able to actually update my antivirus program instead of having its update attempts stall out yet again because the connection is too slow.

(I also backed up all my documents, music, and pictures onto my external hard drive, which I do not do nearly as often as I ought to. Ah well.)

...

Anyway, it's about 90 degrees, there's a chance of severe thunderstorms all afternoon and evening, and I have a mile to walk home from the public library where I am currently typing these words. I am tired of summer already and it isn't even officially here yet. Blegh.

This happens to me all the time (or, used to). It was worst when I had dial-up, and the internet actually could not do anything for the next 10 or so hours.

Oh, ugh, I hope you got home ok.

Eh, a mile is nothing, comparatively speaking; I actually make a point of walking at least two miles a day, for physical and mental health reasons. It's just annoying in certain weather extremes, and little things exacerbate each other.

My computer updated itself again today, but it is now running just fine and I sincerely hope it's done with that for a good while.
