Got up early so I could call the doctor’s office and the school. Got my latte and got parked on SL, then made the phone calls. Was able to get an appointment with our usual doctor, who I love.
In the meantime, I tried to launch Minecraft but my computer wasn’t acting right. Come to find out there were a couple Windows updates in progress. So, I let those run. They were still running when it was time to head to the doctor.
Casey wanted to get on Minecraft on his computer, so I let him do that up until it was time to go.
Thankfully, this time Casey just has the common cold and just needs lots of R&R, and fluids.
We headed back home and I told him to watch some movies and rest, though he wanted to play Minecraft more. I told him he could later in the day, but that he needed to rest with a good movie.
My computer was still working on the updates, so all I could do was sit and stare at it while talking to Colin. I ended up going through files and organizing them in my room, then cleaned everything. It made my room feel much more open and inviting.
The computer eventually installed the updates, but it still wasn’t running properly. I was trying to run Dell’s Support Assist app, but it wasn’t completing the scans. I finally downloaded the free version of Iolo’s System Mechanic because it’s what Cyn uses. I was able to run a scan, but it froze during the repair process.
Come to find out, there was yet another Windows update ready to install, requiring a restart. So I took care of that. Things were running slow when it first rebooted, and System Mechanic ended up freezing during the initial scan. Then everything else on the computer froze as well. I ended up having to hold down the power button to shut it down.
The computer didn’t want to boot back up at first, but on the second try it worked. I ended up having to restart it once or twice more before it successfully loaded enough for me to run System Mechanic again. Got everything nice and squeaky clean, but the computer was still running like crap.
Got Casey tucked into bed. The doctor had suggested keeping him home tomorrow, but I have therapy at 9 and a meeting with Casey’s Speech Therapist at the school at 10:45. I’ll see how he’s doing when I get up at the usual time, and determine if he needs more rest or not.
Got back to the computer and tried to launch Minecraft, but it wasn’t playable, so I exited. I downloaded and installed Roblox successfully, but didn’t even attempt to actually play it.
Ended up launching the CBS app to see if I could get my shows to play at least. That seemed to work, so I popped some popcorn and got settled in for a night of crime lol.
Once I’d watched an episode each of NCIS and NCIS: New Orleans, I started getting ready for bed.
