What Else Is New?

la_samtyrThis week started out in a not-so-good manner.
Monday, I was working on a gift fic (and doing some beta work) when I realized I had to make a vet run for meds. So I turned off my 'puter, ran the errand (which was after lunch btw) and hurried home so I could get back to writing. (Was any of this backed up anywhere? Why no, of course not. ::is very ashamed::)
And, unsurprisingly by now, my main 'puter (the desktop *and* the one I had been working on) had crashed *yet again*. ::headdesk headdesk headdesk:: So I had to make yet *another* run this time to a *new* computer repair shop since the store I originally bought it from has worked on it *twice* this year and it's still doing the same damned thing. Feh! Hopefully the new shop will be able to fix whatever is wrong with it so that I don't have to keep running back to them because really, this is the third time in one year and that is just way too much.
I decided to take my older laptop (the Vista, remember?) in as well because it is supposed to be my back-up and I had planned to take it in earlier last fall (after my holiday) but that idea was delayed by a plumbing issue. And since things like plumbing tend to pwn any computer issues, well...
So, the good news is that the laptop is fixed and that is what I am using right now. The bad news is that everything I was working on is on the *other* one -- the desktop. With any sort of luck it will be done Friday and I can finish what I was doing.
And in other news...
I think I am getting a cold. My little dog has to go outside every two hours due to the meds. That is not so bad during the day but at night? It's been blasted cold out and she is out just long enough that I get good and chilled. When the weather was nicer it wasn't quite so bad but now? *sighs* It also plays havoc with my sleep because once I am up like that, I tend wake up just enough that it is hard to go back to sleep -- and then the whole thing starts over again. I have started sleeping in a hoodie so that I can try and keep from getting quite so chilly.
My Christmas cards are slowly getting done so hopefully everyone will get theirs more or less on time.
That's it for now. Later!
