The topic: Disk installation went fine
----------------------------------------------

Only problem is I left the external hard drives hooked up. And the new drive did NOT get set up as the C drive and it doesn’t work. It’s there, I think it’s on the H drive. *sigh*

HP support was worthless. Oh, she tried to help, had me jumping through all sorts of hoops with no results.

So, I put in a support call to Microsoft about changing the BIOS so that the drive that’s showing up as third can be moved to the primary. The computer sees the new drive, it just doesn’t see it where it needs to see it and I can’t find a damned thing on the internet about changing it. Oh, well, a lesson well learned.

I had so much planned for today, too.

This old dog learned a new trick today.

The topic: He never used to do this
----------------------------------------------

The past few weeks, when we have dinner, Jackie has taken to sitting on the floor to my left. Waiting. Watching. Looking at me with his big beautiful yellow eyes. He never used to do this. I give him tidbits of my meal. It can be hard because the cats are all in when we eat. We had fish last night, I should have made an extra portion, just for sharing.

I’d crumble up some of the fish we had and toss it towards the living room. The cats would scramble and Jackson would hang back, just enough for me to get some fish to him, just for him. He’d nibble it down, then resume his sitting, waiting and watching.

He’s such a striking cat.

The topic: Kitty Movie Monday
----------------------------------------------

Our Movie Monday entry is little Kirby. Our vet refers to this cat as the “cat from hell” and remarked “that cat hates me”. Well, part of that might be attributed to the fact that the only time Kirby saw the vet was when he was blocked and had to spend time under sedation with a catheter up his penis to his bladder. But having his male parts uninstalled fixed all of that and now crystals don’t threaten his life.

He may hate the vet, but he sure likes me. Make sure your speakers are turned up.
