Outage Outrage

Our primary computers are down.

I don't know how people cope when their computer goes down. We have options here where we can use secondary machines to at least get to the internet. Even so, I'm twitching because I can't play my usual games and work on my comfortable machine.

Oh well, at least I can still write a blog, even though the keyboard on 'ye olde trusty backup machine' is tough to use. The letters have worn off some of the keys, and I am a hunt-and-peck typist.

We got hit with a double-whammy. Hubby's struggling CPU fan finally bit the dust. I'm only getting error messages about a .dll file, not nearly as serious. I could probably fix it myself, but since The Hubster would just as soon do it, I will only look it up. It will be fun to see if I found the right answer.

I'm making the most of my day off. There's laundry going, dinner is pre-cooking to be easily re-heated later, the dishes are caught up, and the blog is half-written. By the time Hubby gets home to install that new fan, he may think he's at the wrong house.

At this rate I may even have time to tackle the 'Leaning Tower of Junkmail.' That's our household tourist attraction. Unless we get bills, personal correspondence, or something we need to file, we just stack the rest of the mail in a pile until I get around to shredding it. Which never happens. The tower is tall enough now that it makes the cats nervous.

On second thought, maybe I'll keep the tower as is. If I can't find a way to make writing pay off, I'll have the option to sell tickets to view it. I could set up other attractions too. 'Guess the Carpet Color, Win a free Cat,' and 'Find Your Way Through the Maze' would be contenders.

Guess it's time to finish writing and get this theme park planned. If I pitch the vacuum cleaners as a 'bumper car' ride, maybe someone will sweep the den.
