I click in one location, but nothing happens.
How frustrating, when I'm working quickly
to have to stop and click...several times.
This isn't normal, my mind says. So now what?
Quickly I think...Well maybe my mouse is full
of dust accumulated over hours of clickly wildly?
It's worth a try. So, off for the screw drivers I go.
Doubts set in...What if I wreck the mouse
and
it doesn't ever work again; how can I cope?
Well, that type of thinking gets me nowhere.
Being a dare devil, I quickly undo the screw.
Now, the mouse is lying helpless before me.
Unplugged from its source of power and open.
Immediately I spy a small dust ball next
to the wheel. This is an optical mouse!
Well, whatever...I remove the dust ball,
gently blow any other cobwebs away.
I wonder if it's possible to do the same
with my ever cluttered mind and hard drive?
Good work, Lin. Dustballs seem to congregate in the most interesting places. I think I have a few in my mind as well.
ReplyDeleteI hope it worked. And yes, too bad we don't have a clean out screw in our heads.
ReplyDeleteFur balls are a problem for mice as well as cats! I can relate to your feelings of trepidation as you went for the screwdrivers...
