That sound of panic you most certainly did not hear this weekend was a near disaster with my computer. Thankfully, the problem was solved with a $40 part, and not a $500 logic board (or worse--a new computer).

Not, obviously, that I wouldn't love a new computer, if it was offered to me in a lottery-type windfall.

I feel it's important to point out to the universe, though, that I would greatly prefer not to have to handle any more major changes for the next, oh, six months. I have enough to be going on with for the moment, I feel, with applying for jobs and likely an out of state move at minimum.

This is the part where I attempt to return to a normal breathing pattern.

Oh yeah, that's definitely good. And, perversely, it makes me feel better that (hopefully) this fall I will be living somewhere else, with a lower cost of living in general and a higher salary. Even setting aside the likelihood of getting along better with my supervisor, this is likely to be a great positive change for me.

Then, maybe, I can finally upgrade my poor 5-year old laptop. The universe is pleased to take note: THEN. NOT NOW.

I've been thinking of you and telling the universe to do right by you. *hugs*

And yes, laptop needs to do its duty until you're ready.
