My camera problem is fixed. I'm embarrassed to say that it was really obvious. It makes me feel a little better that Ken didn't notice the problem at first either. He was switching newly charged batteries, and trying this and that. Of course, he might not have noticed what it was because it was something that shouldn't have been a problem in the first place! My memory card door wasn't closed tightly! I wouldn't have thought that would have been that big of a problem, because you can actually 'take' pictures without a memory card at all. (They aren't there when you're done, but you can go through the motions!) He said it was because there's a risk of shorting the camera or something, so the camera won't come on. Anyway, problem solved, and Ken didn't have to kill me for breaking the camera!
So soon I'll give you a better look at some dolls I got at the doll show. As for part 2 of the doll show post, Ken and I have been trying to think of ways to get the pictures off his computer, ways that don't cost a million dollars. I suggested we could try putting the hard drive into an old computer that will actually come on. We do have one, but he thinks it might not work. (Before you ask, it will come on, but not much else.) We'll try. We have a lot of family photos on there that we need to retrieve too. I also bought some dolls online that I've been wanting. I found them for an amazing price and weirdly, no one bid against me. So I want to show you those.
I also still have a wonderful story to tell you, with a great happy ending. That's waiting on someone else though, so that's not waiting on me.
**Let me preface this next part by saying that I fully support getting the Corona virus vaccine. We desperately need to kill this virus off as soon as possible before it continues to mutate and becomes even more uncontrollable. Side effects are a small price to pay.**
As for what else I've been up to, Ken and I got our first dose of the Corona vaccine Monday. The shot didn't hurt much, as shots go, (and I am terrible with needles!), and we left feeling fine. Ken's arm was a bit sore most of the day, but I didn't even notice it. Then my shoulder/neck began to hurt when moved a certain direction, and my armpit, (lymph nodes) got achy and tender. I had a nauseous spell in the evening, but it got better. When we got home, (We were out on our 'Fun Day'.), we were both really sleepy and had a fever. Ken's was fairly low, at about 100. Mine was as high as 102.6, before I zonked out. The next day we both felt lousy, had low grade fevers, and slept on and off all day. Well,I did. Poor Ken had to go to work. I only got out of bed to pee, which, strangely, seemed to also be a thing for both of us that day. I didn't eat much, and couldn't stand drinking much either. It just didn't feel good in my mouth or taste good. That was unfortunate, since I maintained the low grade fever that went slightly up and down all day. It finally broke in the middle of the night, when I woke up sweating.
I was pretty tired Wednesday, but had a fairly active day. Some of that tiredness could have been because it's so hot. I'm always draggy ,and feel lousy when it's hot. It didn't help that I was surely dehydrated from the fever and not drinking enough, (and peeing far too much!) The weird thing is, my hand, which had gotten to the point of all the fingers being sore and stiff, and my wrist hurting, improved during my fever. It went back and forth between how it's been lately, and almost normal. I've come to the conclusion that I may have psoriatic arthritis in that hand, because the fingernails on that hand are all lumpy too. I don't have psoriasis, but apparently the joint pain and stiffness can come first. Unfortunately, another of the symptoms is fatigue. No kidding? I have so many things that can cause fatigue that it's a wonder I am ever awake. (To be honest, I'm not awake that much.)
So that's what's going on. A post with pictures is coming soon! I promise!
