I have to hurry up so I can relax

The reports of my death have been greatly exaggerated.
- Mark Twain

My computer, apparently, was merely in a coma. Or perhaps it just wanted the day off. Either way, when my favorite IT guy called to offer assistance, it started up and acted normal. Perhaps my brother-in-law's phone call just struck the fear of replacement into the heart of its hard drive.

So, St. Nick just saved himself a pretty penny. I think he'll get me an external hard drive so I can back up five years worth of precious family memories as well as my checkbook register (I use Quicken), so the next time she flat lines it won't cause migraine-inducing stress.

Today, a few items on the school list, wrapping up week 11 for Fritz and Katie (Billy finished week 10 yesterday and I'm leaving him there). Take dog to kennel. Clean house. Load car. Grocery store so we have food on Saturday morning when we get back from Pennsylvania. Wash all cloth diapers so the house smells nice when we get home.

I'm looking forward to two days of having nothing to do.

I have one of these and love it:

Glad to hear it turned out to be easily fixed. Maybe it overheated?

Enjoy Thanksgiving - we'll probably talk to you tomorrow! xo

Thank you. That's very nice of you to say. The link in Heather's comment was one of the ones I suggested to Bill. I told him to go to tigerdirect.com since they usually have fantastic deals and good service.

Whew!

yeah, washing diapers is usually my last task before leaving on a road trip too. Nothing like coming home to something that's been in the box for too long. LOL.

Have a safe trip!

I'm looking forward to having a few days with nothing to do too. I wonder how that will pan out?

Thank goodness your computer didn't go and completely die on you. Blogville wouldn't be the same with you on hiatus.

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving.

God bless you!
