My Trial

I have become addicted to using my Palm Pilot to organize my life. It is really easy and I love it. I keep my ideas, things I need to do, calendar, crochet patterns I have created, gift lists.....It goes on and on. Pretty much my whole organized life is there.

Normally, that works out just fine. Then there are the times it locks up. Usually I can just reset it and I don't lose anything, it just takes a few minutes. It's kind of like when the computer locks up and you have to restart it. No big deal.

THEN, there was last night! I was sitting in a meeting where I need to be able to make notes and keep track of how many people came. It just went white! I couldn't get anything to work. I reset it several times and I could get everything else to work, but not my "Memos". If I clicked on Memos, it would go white again and not let me get into anything else. Then I had to restart it again! Memos are where I keep most things.

I told Aaron when I got home and he spent quite a while online trying to fix it. He finally discovered that I had had too many categories! The Palm just couldn't deal with that! It gave up and wouldn't deal with it anymore. Aaron was able to get it to work just fine.

Now, I just have to make sure that I don't get too organized. I like everything in it's own little space. I can find things easier that way. So, I spent some time this morning reorganizing a little and making it so that I could find things and still not freak my Palm out!!

So, all is well. My Palm and I like each other again! I just have to keep it happy and it won't lose my life!
