Ups and Downs

...
On Wednesday my computer was r-e-a-l -l-y ... s---l---o---w
and then...

nothing.

Blank screen. :-((

I haven't been able to start it up since Wednesday morning so this is being typed on hubby's computer. The good news is that hubby has bought me all new computer innards for my birthday (today) and he'll get going on repairs this weekend. :-) Hopefully my info is all safe, but if I lose stuff... I'll survive. It's just stuff. I have my book and trailer backed up and my 2nd book (grin) is still on paper scraps and notbooks. I never ever start writing on computer. For some reason I always need paper to start.

So... it's my birthday today and I don't care about computers - i'm going to go and enjoy my day! i hope you all have a great weekend and hopefully I'll be back some time next week.

  4. A very happiest birthday to you, though by now it's pretty much over. I hope the day was wonderful! May the year ahead only bring you love and happiness, my friend :)

    I'm sorry to hear about your pc dying. That is the pits. I agree with you... it's just stuff, though, let's face it, frustrating stuff when it all goes missing.

    Have a good weekend. Are you travelling?

  7. Well Michelle, from what I understand, some of the best people are born in August. I hope you had a lovely day and week end. The computer is not the end all be all of life. I like that you write using pen/pencil and paper. It makes for a better connection I feel.
