1.27/15 Tues

Well, its only two days this time.     The sun is back and the cats and diesel sit and stare at you till you ope up the curtains so they can lay in the sun.  Honestly.  No mistaking their intent.

I spent about 3 days trying to figure out the new camera and how to get videos on the internet for my dogs getting their advanced trick titles.  I sweat blood and tears trying to figure that one out   Fought with Leroy because I was mad he couldn't figure it out either .  Then I tried my tech support.  Well I ended up calling twice in one day as the first call was good and productive but when I tried to do it later myself I completely forgot steps.  So I called again, and this kid was good and so funny.  He made me write down each step, he made me practice it over and over, with him prompting and with him keeping his mouth shut.  He nicely told me to shut up a couple times too, not in those words but just like Jeff would or does when he is trying to teach me something.  He said, don't get ahead of yourself here, you need to learn this first.  He  would tell me exactly what to write down, when to draw a line on the paper cause we would go on to the next step.  He was so hilarious but just like having Jeff teach me. We practiced each step over and over.  He left to do paperwork and gave me an assignment to do while he was gone.  He was a stitch.  I could have kissed him I was so relieved to learn it cause I get so wound up and tied up inside trying to do that stuff and learn something.  So we said goodbye, then I stretched my arms and cried out, I got it, I got it I got, I am soo happy.  (Mainly it was directed to Leroy and myself).  Then I hear "  Mam, you need to hang up your phone.  I heard that.  We all roared.  I had to record this cause I don't want to forget it.  It was so funny.  The first guy was good but didn't make sure I understood it, tho he when he was helping me transfer a picture saw the picture of me getting my tat.  He says "Is that you getting a tattoo?  Cool.  And what cute dogs you have and how long does it take to train them and etc"  He was so sweet and  helpful.  This all reiterates the fact that we really do make differences in peoples lives even when we don't realize it.  Those two kids made my day, made me feel empowered, got me out of a funk, and gave me a warm feeling towards people on the other end of the line, made me think of my dear son and those memories, and helped me walk away knowing what I was doing and happy. 
The day ended well and I slept like a log, not trying to figure out a solution as prior nites.  It helped me hang on to the fact I can learn new things I don't haw Alzheimers yet (my greatest fear in the world)
