Death of a Computer

Hi folks, I’ve been somewhat absent as you can see.  Sadly it wasn’t because my life took a new and interesting turn …… sigh …….  It was a case of computer meets coke with the fairly predictable outcome of computer meltdown.  As all unanticipated emergencies it came at a most inopportune time when lack of funds was quite an issue.  Even though I was able to salvage the hard drive from my laptop I wasn’t able to save the computer itself and had to purchase a new one.

I did try using my husband’s desktop but as it is an old machine with the capacity of an electric typewriter it wasn’t a good substitute.  In fact I was in danger of having to buy a new one of those since the desire to drop kick it through a window was overwhelming at times so I deemed it safer to keep my distance.  It’s fine for him as all he needs IS an electric typewriter with an internet connection.

Thankfully now I have a new, and may I say quite nifty, laptop I’ll be rejoining the online world yet again.  I did however have one final hurdle as when I went to log back into WordPress I realised that I’d changed mobiles since opening this account and as such the SMS code was sent to the old number.  There was much hoop jumping and wrangling to get past that but I’m now fully functional [ well online anyway I can’t make that claim everything else in my life.] and ready to rant once again.  I look forward to catching up with all of you and your posts as well as the backlog of political peeves I’ve amassed in the time away from my blog.  Be E-seeing you soon.
