Quietish

I am, in fact, here and alive. Although some of you did hear from me and if you were one of those lucky people you got to endure my complaints about achiness, headachiness, and general nastiness.

Sorry about that.

I seem to be fully recovered this afternoon with nothing more than a headache this morning. That too has passed *thumbs up*

There are a few updatey things:

I am in computer-issue hell. Or close to it, I guess. Not like in the bowels or anything. But yeah, this weekend my computer was doing its everything-freezes-up-so-now-you-have-to-just-hit-the-power-button-neener-neener dance so I went ahead and restarted. Or tried to. It never rebooted. So I pulled out the back-up laptop while Justin lugged my tower to work with him the next day to try to at least save my pictures and iTunes folder. (PSA: When iTunes tells you to back up your library, just take its word for it. Really.)

The stupid thing actually booted up fine for him after sitting all night, so he went ahead and backed everything up anyway and brought it home. All was fine until Monday when it did it over again.

So now I’m back typing to you from the laptop. I don’t have the patience to deal with Mr. Desktop right now. The fun thing is that Mr. Laptop has a whopping 10G or so hard drive in it. I feel so special.

Being on the laptop isn’t all bad though. It means that this weekend when I am ready to go to Angie’s I can unplug the thing and go. So… woohooo!! I’m grabbing a sampling of crafty projects, getting on a plane, hopefully NOT losing any article of baggage, and flying to Tennessee to do…. well, whatever the heck we feel like. (I assume lots of stitching and Mario Party.) Wheeeeeeeee!

Ahem.
In the meantime I’ve gotten a little reading time in (read: laid around with Prince Caspian because my body hurt too much to sit upright for very long) and knitting.

Oh yes, knitting! My sock-in-progress (SIP, I guess. I think I’ll use that.) now has the starting of a heel.

SIP does already have a name, but I thought I’d throw out another point-opportunity. In the interest of discovering just how predictable I am, I have points to give to the first person to EMAIL me with a correct guess at this lovely sockiness’ name. But not you, Mary. Or you, Katie.

Til later. I’m going to go try to get my photo blog updated now. *sigh*
