Yesterday I hit a new high (or perhaps low) in tech phone calls.  From start to finish on ONE CALL, I spent almost 5 hrs talking to two techs in Bangalore, India.    Much as I love things Indian, especially the  Bollywood movies, I was in a complete state of brain drain by the end of the call.  And after all of that the problem was STILL not fixed.  (Computer was sent back for repair this morning.)

I felt like a vegetable after sitting for that long … on one call.  After hanging up I immediately went outside.  It was literally and figuratively a breath of fresh air.  North Carolina is SO, SO beautiful this time of year.  My azaleas, tulips and lily-of-the-valley are all in bloom, the hydrangea is getting bushy, the dozens of lilies are rising proudly over the garden  and the weather is perfect.  How awful to sit inside for so long when it’s so gorgeous outside.  In any case, I found 45 minutes to transplant some hosta and I could feel my spirit rising in the process.
