Last week, Michael's computer died....
It began as an annoyance - overheating and needing to be put in the garage to cool down so it could be used again. But annoyance quickly became an I-can't-work-with-this type of problem as it began happening too often too quickly after cool down. So, we lost 2 and 1/2 days to buying a new computer, setting it up with all the needed software, and recovering data.
I say we, because of course it meant that mommy had to give daddy concentrated time with no interruptions to get it all done - meaning mommy had to keep girls happily occupied all the time instead of the usual calling on daddy from time to time. Not all that hard (they're great girls to hang out with), but a bit challenging with the restrictions on my movements still!
Of course, once the computer was bought, the old one functioned fine - for a while. Once all the data was switched over, the old computer died completely and refused to turn on. So we made the right decision!
The whole thing reminded me just how blessed we are that we can, at a moments notice, go out and buy a new laptop! Wow! Now that deserves some serious gratitude :)
