Send good vibes

I have a freeish day today and, while I'm tempted to sit and write or read, that little nag in my head is saying I should do something, at least for a while. Preferably practical that involves moving - but it's raining, and I'm not in the mood for housework (as if I ever am) so I'm tackling my microsoft problem again.

I've tried, Husband has tried, but I've still got my knickers in a twist. My storage is full and I can't send email from Outlook. As a trustee I have a free 365 account with lots of storage but do you think I can work out how to get there?

I think the problem is that I already have my own free account (with very little storage) and it's a dilemma changing from one to the other. Maybe. What do I know? Very little as this is proving. It asks for passwords and emails. Which email? Which password? And why are you asking again when I've just given you one?

And if I uninstalled my own account would I lose everything that there has ever been? Never to recover them. (I did that once in work. It kept asking me if I was sure I wanted to delete this. Yes, yes, stop asking me. Oops.)

I love technology, I love the ability to contact people and to find out things so easily but I also hate technology.

So think of me today as I prepare for the fight. 

Perhaps I should make cake instead . . .

Here's the wonderful Maxine's thoughts on the subject.

P.S. Thirty-five minutes, that's all it took for me to start screaming.

I switched to gmail about 25 years ago and have never looked back. It’s so easily available every where I go.

I never encounter problems online that I can't ignore. They've been threatening to close my account (which one?) for years and telling me I can't store any more unless I send $$. All of which I ignore, go right on with what I'm doing. And I can't see any difference.

I find most providers are pushing you to subscribe to more storage. I pay for extra space on Google cloud but it won't be long until that fills up too. I guess I need to start clearing stuff out at some point but I'm just a digital hoarder!

mine keeps telling me I'm running out of storage. Don't know what I'll do if I ever get there.
