My computer, bless its little CPU, has decided to stop working. Apparently, according to Dell, the Windows update I installed last night didn't agree with my OS, so it caused some serious errors which can't be fixed, so that means a full system reinstall. Which would be fine if I could find the disk for my OS, which I can't. So the computer will continue to not work until at least monday, which is when the replacement OS, which I had to pay for, will be arriving.

I'm presently using another computer, an older model Comcrap... whoops, I mean Compaq, of course... which doesn't have the stuff I need to work, so I'm presently trying to rectify that. Once I get some work done, I think I'm going to shut off all the computers and "rough it" for a few days. I've not done that in a long time, so it should be an experience.

I wonder how long I'll last.

This will, obviously, give me plenty of time to decorate for Halloween, do some household chores, discover my inner self, etc. What I'd really like to do, however, is take long baths, read books, and sleep. I want a self imposed vacation! Yeah, that's it. I'll indulge myself for three whole days. I won't, but it would be nice.

So, I'm going to sign off and get some work done. Wish me luck, 'cause I'm gonna need it.
