MIA - captured by invisible 'lil buggers!

I apologize for being M.I.A. but my laptop has been invaded by some nasty 'lil buggers.     I've always wondered what causes hackers and virus-creators to unleash their dastardly creations on the unwitting of cyberspace . . . I try to keep my systems (desktop and laptop) programmed with the latest, and most up-to-date, software to prevent viruses, spam, spyware and the assorted cyber-garbage that bombards unsuspecting victims on a daily basis.

My sluggish laptop is to the point now where it can't / won't even connect to download my e-mail.     Of course, with this cast on my leg, it isn't like I can dash out to the studio to log onto my desktop in hopes that it isn't corrupt, too.     For all the benefits of wifi, I don't think there's enough security in place for the good of the systems it connects.

Yesterday was also my first follow-up with the surgeon, post-surgery.     He took out all of the staples -- seventeen in all, I do believe -- and re-wrapped and casted me back with my attractive black boot.     At least I went to my appointment in somewhat stylish . . . if not totally Allison Reynolds a'la The Breakfast Club . . . attire.     On my left foot, I wore a black sock and black & white Converse All-Star high-tops.     Even my surgeon commented on my vogue impression    :-)

I fear I'll be working to clear my laptop for days to come - OR - heaven forbid! - I have to send it out to some Geek Squad to get it up and running correctly again.     This is definitely not a good time when I have a book review and an article submission due by the end of the week!

If anyone has received spam from me during the last week, please accept my most humble apologies because I had absolutely no knowledge or control in the matter.

This Author's Profile

♪ I am

Susan Reno-Gilliland, known as "Miss Kitty," an Irish lass, a true Southern Belle; a writer, photographer, animal-lover, dreamer, stargazer, totally tangled (or is that entangled?) in relationships, slightly obsessive iNFp with stories to tell! . . . (fascinated by forensics, human behavior, pushing all the right buttons of men I find interesting, and seeking utterly-sweet revenge without any repercussions.) I am a Friday's Child. Friday's Child is loving & giving.
