The water came back last night. I can’t tell you how relieved and happy I was.

It’s funny the things you take for granted until they don’t work.

Thanks for the sympathy.

Kristine don’t worry about topping my computer woes. In the grand scheme of things this isn’t the worst thing in the world. It looks like I’m just without my primary machine for a few days, but I’m managing. No water would be much harder to deal with. Is it working yet?

David I have a lot more stored online than I used to though some things I still prefer to store locally. I have a couple of external drives for backup so I still have access to most of my data. The hard part for me is working on an older machine that was needing replacement 3 years ago. I also haven’t done well to keep things updated on it over the years which is something I’ll make sure to do in the future.

I had customized the OS on the newer machine a lot, which is just too much to try and duplicate on this one for a few days use. I also find I’m used to the keyboard on the newer laptop. This one is a little smaller so I keep reaching for one key and hitting another.

This has happened to me before and it sucks, but for me I think it would be much less sucky than previously. Most of what I do is on the web now – email, bookmarks, business – all on the Internet. If I have a connection and a word processor I’m pretty much good to go.

First, sympathy for the graphic card and the broken computer. Since I’m computer addicted, and haven’t a spare computer at the moment, losing my computer would be awful. I’d probably get the shakes almost immediately.

I do, however, think I can top the broken computer story. The well where I live died on Friday. We’ve had no water for the entire weekend. They’re supposed to fix the well today. Cross your fingers for me that they do, because I want water that I don’t have to rent a hotel room to have. It’s a major pain!

I know you probably weren’t looking for I’ll take your sad story and do you one better, but I did express my sympathy about your problem first, so that’s got to count right?
