Each Day Already is a Challenge

A Texas Sunrise

Sunrise on Surfside Beach, Texas

A friend, William Taylor, took this picture. He visits Surfside Beach with his dogs almost every morning, watching the sun rise while the dogs prance about at the water's edge.

This is only about ten miles from where I lived in Lake Jackson, Texas. Sadly, I only visited this beach about four times in the six years I lived nearby.

Each day is a challenge. A challenge to get by without thinking about the fibromyalgia pains. A challenge to stay awake when chronic fatigure wants to take over. And a challenge to navigate through fibro fog.

I haven't been writing as much as in the past. For years, I wrote at least 500 words a day. Now, I'm lucky if I write 500 words in month. Sigh.

For more information about what my day (or life) is all about with fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, chronic pains, IBS, depression and everything else thrown in, check this out:

My pain and welcome to it.

Once you see it, I am sure it is hard to "unsee" it. LOL. I looked up the title but did not see it listed online. You don't see many bloopers like that around here, but I am sure they are out there.

In response to "Have we forgotten?"

I researched the falling man and looked at victim and family stories. I am sure there were some kind of city remembrance events. I did my own, allowing myself to watch the terrifying videos, and reports, and documentaries the entire day to remember. There already is a generation who don't remember anything unless they learned something in school or from their own family about the attacks of 9/11.

In response to "I had to laugh "

On a somewhat related note, I saw a YouTube Sports Short day before yesterday. It was part of a collection of "NFL Best Somethings [catches, runs, interceptions, etc.]". Somebody went to all the trouble of selecting and collating the video clips, ranking them however they thought best, and then captioning them so viewers would know who did what to whom. Except... In this particular video, players in two separate clips were given credit for doing whatever it was they did - against their own team.

But we do expect the media to do better.

Perhaps you know?

Hubby and I tried to buy some reconditioned computers a few months back, but that didn't work. We're both still running Windows 98SE. That means, of course, that there are no longer any Windows updates available.

So how did I end up with a new "tool" on my word program?

I used spell check. I know it's not the most trustworthy tool for checking spelling and grammar errors, but it catches some of them.

Lately, after running a spell check, a new tool has been popping up afterwards. It has a list of about 20 items that it proudly reports. Frankly, I have not paid one bit of attention to any of them except the last one on the list. That one tells the grade level for which I have written.

I'm fascinated with that.

When the tool first popped up, it told me that my writing was for 12.9 grade level. Well, I'll be...

I shortened a few sentences and changed a few words, and the tool declared it written for grade level 9.3. Amazing. A few more changes, and I had written in the language of 6.1 grade level.

I played with that stupid tool all afternoon. (Okay, I'm easily amused.

) Try as I might, I could not write anything for less than grade level 4.1 or higher than grade 12.9. Perhaps those are the upper and lower levels of the tool.

Either that or I'm not supposed to write kid's picture books or college text books.

So...

Does anyone know what I did to get this tool working on my computer???
