Update.
My computer has booted up but I am not going to use it much. Have managed to read all the posts, I think, or most.
Online friend has offered me an unused laptop, Win 7 so will be a learning curve for me. She says it was hardly used. She is leaving some nice software on it. She is also tossing in a spare memory stick she had laying around. Just got an update from her saying it's all packed and she will try to ship it today or tomorrow.
!!!!
Guy from ecovillage has not yet called. Probably tonignt I am thinking.
Gave cousin an update. Felt like time to break the ice a bit. It ws okay but she remains distant. She got a bit animated when I asked her about her new job but withdrew again immediately. That's okay. Also had to ask her to take me on a grocery run as I have almost nothing left to eat. She says sometime today. Okay good.
Practicing staying balanced and calm in the midst of all this upheaval.
Katye, thanks for the tip about Tapatalk. Good to know.
Later, friends.

if it where me Bedeep, I would be saying a mantra called 'hello FREEDOM'. That space you are in is *%#* way crap. I myself couldn't bear it. However, have been in those scenarios myself. One time it was a hotel like a lost n' found. It was full of lost souls, loonies and the like. I wrote some great poetry there!
I recognized before we shifted to where we are now, that the previous neighbour was just plain horrible to. I didn't recognize it at the time, but my whole behaviour was being slowly modified or 'bent' even though I was staying in my centre. It was an amazing house & location but the universe knew to shift us on. Here, I am better equipped to handle these Ascension stages & as well the 3D face.
Its great to hear you have 1) glasses 2) computer. Strong affirming steps one by one.

Dolphin, you are SO right! I am indeed embracing Freedom, and know the Universe is bringing me exactly what I need. The transition time is a little hairy right now with all the course changes, but I'm riding it!
Never heard from ecovillage guy and not sure I will. And the crystal mine thing is a no, they are remodeling and though they liked the idea the timing is wrong for them.
Got up with local puter doc who will help me with the new one and transferring stuff from this one. So that's moving right along.
Zowie!

Nope. New computer is not going to work. It is too slow for one thing. So back to Plan A get chromebook. Ecovillage guy never called; computer doc hasn't responded either (now the new one is here he was supposed to get back to me.)
Very challenging right now being out of touch! drrrrr.
hope everyone is doing well, for me this is turning into something of an ordeal. No idea really what the entanglement or obstuction is, either. I'll update when I can.

Love my Chromebook, Bedeep!. I have the 11" size; it's larger than my iPad minis but smaller than my laptop. Light weight, reasonable battery life, only takes an hour to charge, streaming to my tv is a snap (I also have the chromecast gadget) and it was under $200. My son has the 15" size and he's very happy with his, too.
Ordeals end, eventually, and the several I've had in the last several months have all ended just fine. When I'm in the thick of it, though, it feels endless and frustrating. I'm going through another one right now and it's been with me for over a month but I have every reason to believe it will end just fine, too. Assume everything will work in your favor and it usually does.

Thanks, Katye. It's been an exhausting day but much accomplished. GArden friend came and took some plants I think would not survive here, and has offered to help me write an ad for a place to live. She is admin of an herbalism facebook group I belong to, and it was her idea for me to post an ad there! There are lots of plant people all around here who will see it so that may yield some good responses. And I got my chromebook. Just got back, not even opening the box tonight, too weary! but for some reason the old Toshiba has been reliable and functioning all day. Computer doc will I hope come tomorrow. So, progress. And may your ordeal resolve sweetly.

Congratulations on the chromebook ! It's a shame the other one didn't work out . But its' slowness might be fixable if it has enough processing power . It could be just overloaded with too much stuff running and /or too little memory and needing a system clean. Even malware or a virus can make a computer crawl .

'Nother update:Just heard from the ecovillage guy; he had combination of scheduling snafus and some illness (strep he says) so is now suggesting next week for a meet up. Next week would work beautifully for me, so fingers crossed!
Aquariann, I suspect you are right, but I don't feel I have time to hassle with that. If I were not on a track to move I know not where, but in a more stable situation, I would likely hang onto it and see about what could be done, but as it is, must let it go and happy to do so.

Wow, so many shifts! Something nice, my garden friend who is admin of a local herbalism group on facebook offered to post an ad for me for my living space search. I wrote a draft and messaged it to her, then had the entire midday, early afternoon with my computer doc helping me transfer files and set stuff up, so hours later I went online and found she had posted it along with a really nice note saying good things about how I would be a great addition to any community. Felt good! I now have both a chromebook, and also am after all using this windows laptop that was given me. Turned out that, a, the chromebook I got has no storage at all (most have a little bit) so that is more limiting than I thought, but I will be able to email and browse. This windows laptop, however, was slow because a, it had been messed up by stuff my friend did and had a lot of corrupted files, and b, was installing updates (which I had no way of knowing at the time.) Computer doc spent nearly three hours working on all this, got all my files off the old computer, and set me up on this one nicely, and only charged me an hour. So. Good things. Relations here with cousin are tense, she did not like me bringing garden person upstairs yesterday (I was showing her stuff I hoped she would take) and did not like me bringing computer doc up here, but it was too dicey to unplug the old computer and move it downstairs; it might not have booted up again. *sigh* Hello, Freedom! Right, Katye?

Yeah, Bedeep! You aren't responsible for your cousins feelings or actions, only for your own. If she chooses to brood over small stuff so be it. It's great that your moving forward and doing what is right for you. Freedom is intoxicating!

She is finding lots of things to pick at, it's pretty nerve wracking. I can't get out of here soon enough.

Our internet went down briefly just now and she wanted to know if "that guy" did anything, meaning the computer doc (who is the nicest most responsible person you could wish for) and then she had to bring up the other time he was here, when he was directly working to restore my computer access to internet, and remind me that it went off briefly then (she said "he did something, and then something new showed up, what was that?" which she has been SAVING all this time, apparently, as part of her amo against me. She wants to "talk about details of this coming month" she said earlier, but couldn't talk then cause had just fixed her supper and then in the morning she is going out for a while, so I said, well, after that... and I can't seem to stop being nervous about what the heck is it now? but I think I will just agree to whatever she says and then try to go my way. I sure hope it isn't something bizarre and difficult, but, well, not saying anymore.

I think once you get to a new space you will have great relief after getting out from under her black cloud .

Yeah. And absolutely, when I get to a new space I will breathe a lot freer. At least until the new challenges of that situation grab hold. But I aim for peace and kind mutual support among people with shared values. Perhaps that is what I will find. God, I wish I could find a place already, it gets nervewracking.
