“Windows has important updates to install.” Hmm. Click.
“You may continue working while Windows prepares updates.” Click. Click.
“Windows must restart to install updates for programs and services. Save any open files and restart your computer.” Huh? You said I could…
“Do you want to restart now?” No!
“Windows must restart to install …” Click. Click. Click. Wait.
“Windows is configuring update one of three. Do not turn off your computer.” Naughty Beth. Just wait.
The black laptop screen reflects my image.
Restart complete.
“Windows has updated your computer. Click here to see the updates installed.” Go for it. Click.
“Security Patch KB0..” click.
Note to God: Um, if I may, did you see that?
Note to Beth: Reboot.
About Me
- Beth Chapman
- Owatonna, Minnesota, United States
- I have begun a path, though I know not where, to a journey’s end that is calling. Along the way I pause to absorb the metaphors and images of this life, which are so precious. Here you shall find me brave, you shall find me pondering, you shall find me searching, and you shall find me collecting the images and metaphors like shells upon the beach. I am very much like the little monkey wearing a dapper hat, playing the cymbals and drum and dancing a jig. I do not have it all figured out, I may be learning to write, but one thing I do know and that is how to collect the shells on the beach of my beloved Gulf Shores. I offer these shells to you.
