Worked on Rita's computer.

It took over an hour. So frustrating! She's 79 and needs help with it a lot. It's good to save information in forms for her. Firefox would NOT automatically log her into gmail, Tar Valon, etc no matter what I did.
So I finally did something I didn't want to do, I put her in Google Chrome. I know it's not the most stable browser in the world but it's better than Safari for PC or IE.
My ethernet cord is bad. So I'm writing this offline. Rita's taking her Accepted test in the other room and that's something you do alone. When she was looking at the icon she said, "I feel like I'm at the top of the Empire State Building!" then I reminded her how they do it in the books and said "At least you're not naked with them pouring cold water over your head!"
Wheel of Time fans will get the above reference.
But oh man I got so frustrated. My patience with Rita is running short and that's not her fault. I'm trying my best to keep my patience but my emotions are threatening to spill over and I know she can see it.
Frustration has always been the hardest emotion for me to deal with. Patience is coming easier but for some reason frustration is still as difficult. I don't know why.
I just hope I can sleep tonight. I've barely slept besides my nap which I probably shouldn't have taken.
