Technology - Arrrrgh!

I am very annoyed now. The disk on my computer drive stopped working a few months ago, which was not too big of a problem until I wanted to be able to lock up the wireless today so that only computers I designate can access it.

I've been trying, but have no idea how to get the disk drive working again. I even popped the case open on the computer, but everything seems to be hooked up right and nothing is loose, so I have no idea what is going on with the disk drive. Unless it just broke or something. It is really starting to frustrate me though, since I can't run any disks or save anything to disks or anything.

Because of the broke drive, and my router being dependent on a CD for changing the settings, I have no way to lock up my router and keep people from sapping off of my internet.

Why do you work from home?

There are many reasons for working from home. When it first became popular it was as a way to stay close to the family. For me, working from home is not a choice, it is a requirement. Because of my role as a family caregiver for my dad, I can not work outside of the home. This necessitates me to work from home. It is not easy, there are a lot of distractions, not the least of which is my own comfortable bed that calls to me to lay down and stop forcing myself to keep working when I have no energy for it.

Worksheets

I've been unable to get my work done every day, so I have made up a new plan and created some daily worksheets that will be tucked in with my caregiver worksheets.

I have been tracking the day to day stuff that has to do with being the full-time caregiver for my dad, so creating a daily work sheet that lists what I have to do during my work day is a great way to keep me on track with my work.

Now if I can just find some way to not fall asleep at 10am.
