More Snow Melt

I’m updating my blog

That isn't the most creative title I've came up with for a blog entry. I'm not sure it will have much to do with the entry; the first paragraph excluded. Last week was a short and frustrating week. This week is going to be long, while I'm living it, but next Sunday it will seem short. I hope it won't be as frustrating.

My modem went out late Thursday evening and didn't get fixed until Friday afternoon. I completed the newsletter and submitted it on Friday afternoon or evening. I was afraid the modem would go out again before I finished the newsletter. I posted everything for the NaNoWriMoPrep challenge on Friday afternoon. I finished the week's last challenge yesterday and posted it.

My system still isn't running up to speed, but it isn't the modem fault. The CPU has a tendency to run at 100% capacity and I'm not sure why. My phone bill in November will increase; right now I'm paying about $89.00 for phone, satellite T.V. and DSL modem. I'm probably not going to like the increase, but at this point I need the services the increase will provide.

I'm just going to have to find a few more opportunities on-line. I'm also going to have to buy some more memory. I'm not sure how much memory, but I know I need more memory. In addition, I suspect on of my cards is going out; however, I don't think that has to do with the CPU running at 100% capacity. As long as I have the modem turned on and avoid Yahoo the CPU usage is less then 100%.
