jazzfishNo motivation this morning. Up til midnight trying to fix my stupid computer. For reasons that are not entirely clear to me it has forgotten how to tell the phone where to sync photos (clicking the [Sync] Photos tab results in endless spinning, and syncing gets a complaint that it can't find the folder to sync photos and then an endless "Waiting for sync to finish" message), on top of its couple-months-old tendency to crash the System Preferences when I try to open either Desktop/Screensaver or Spotlight prefs.
Been needing to get a new battery anyway; this one only holds about two hours of charge. Maybe I can get the genuises to take a look at the system when I bring it in.
I suspect the answer is gonna be "full system restore to old Time Machine backup" again, at best. Don't wanna.
Meanwhile I sit here with a stuffed-up nose and no interest in doing much of anything.
Today I will:
Looks like a full day for no motivation.
