My throat is scratchy, my head is a little detached, and I don't want to go outside. Ever again, actually. I think maybe I'll cry off the theatre tonight. It's the wrong side of the river and getting there would involve Effort, which looks - well, kinda mountainous from here.
Also, I have spoken to my computer men, who still haven't managed to source the needful part to fix the desktop. Am now seriously thinking of replacement. If anyone has recommendations, I'd be interested (perhaps not Dell, in the circs: which is a shame, as I've been a loyal and happy customer thus far, but this machine is less than three years old and apparently they no longer make the proprietary part that would keep it running). It mostly needs to do - well, you know what I do. Word-processing and internet, largely. Photos of cats. I don't watch movies on my computer, nor listen to music. My needs are few, though I do like them to be met promptly; slow machines drive me crazy. (Which was one reason why I shifted from Windoze to Linux, tho' that's an old story often told...) (Also, I remember when a 386 seemed mindbogglingly fast. Hee...)
