Celebrate the Struggle

I've noticed that when I am in a time crunch life intersects and derails my plans? Has this ever happened to you?

TECHNOLOGY

Fails Me 

But 

Leads Me On!

When my iMac starts to mutter,

I clear clutter.

A mess I fear.

Strange things appear.

I call the genius on the phone-

In what time zone???

Doesn't matter.

Starts to chatter.

One big, endless conversation,

No oration.

Need to backup.

Go get CHECKUP.

There it is, in a nutshell. Oh, did I mention that I also needed a new router? Now I am having issues with my printer that no longer connects to the iMac. I will need to make another phone call to Optimum now. 

When it rains it pours but I still celebrate the struggle because it will lead me to clean up my office clutter, post my winter gallery, and get a new iMac.

I created a video poem to advertisie the release of Winter Wonderland Gallery 

during 2018 National Poetry Month.
