The Sewing Mom

What a total pain in the a$$ my computers have been over the last couple of weeks!

We have 3 computers in our house, one I use strictly for work.  The other 2 are my own personal desktop and laptop computers.  The first, the desktop, went on the fritz 2 weeks ago.  Woke up one morning and the dang thing was dead, just like that.  No warning, no hestitation, just dead.  I’ve been so busy lately that I haven’t even had time to take it in to have it looked at and I use the laptop 80% of the time anyway, so it was easy to put that task off.  Then, yesterday, the electrical cord to the laptop started crackling and shot a couple sparks and I quickly unplugged it from the computer to keep the computer safe.  Of course, that meant that I only had a limited battery life, so I just shut it down.

Of course, all of this has meant that I’ve had even more limited time on the computer because I also needed to let my daughter use it.  It’s not so bad when both are up and running, if she’s on one, I can hop on the other.  But, having only one, and then none, was tough on both of us! I especially want to apologize for not returning EC drops yesterday and not responding to comments.

I ran to Best Buy today and bought a new cord for the laptop and that got me back in business.  I still need to take the desktop in to see if can be repaired.  In the mean time, I did actually get a sewing project completed yesterday and started a second one.  I have to admit, while I was bothered by the fact that I couldn’t return comments and drops, it was very nice to not be on the computer yesterday and actually get tome other stuff done around here!
