My Computer Died Today :(

Well I had a bit of a peaceful interlude for a day or so, but it is back to it today with the death and then subsequent resurrection of my computer. Who knows what happened. . . It was nothing I did to kill it and nothing I did to bring it back to life. It is just a wake-up call to let me know that the end is near and I'd better get backing up -- problem is, I have no idea where my backup CD is or even where the blank CD's are. . . I don't know how much more of this I have it in me to take.

We were supposed to start working on the Wood Stove today -- Brian keeps saying that it will be A LOT of work, and I say, then let's get down to it!!! But it isn't happening. Today he went up into the attic to check out the situation, but ended up getting distracted by all of the junk up there -- it was a gold mine for him -- more junk!!!! JUST WHAT WE NEED IS MORE DAMN JUNK!!!! So as a result he got carried away bringing a small fraction of it down, with my help of course. I REALLY do feel that I am so close to reaching my limit. . . I just don't know what happens when that limit is reached. . . There really is no way out and nothing better coming up in the foreseeable future.

I guess there is a bit of good news -- Firstly, Brian brought home a third dishwasher and although it had a little leak, it has been repaired and it now works!! Not only that, but the other two dishwashers have been removed from the house(!) and now sit in the store with the rest of the junk. The other bit of good news, I guess, is that I made the short-list on 2 of the many jobs that I applied for. I should find out next week, mid to end of the week if I get one of them and if I make it to the next level for the other one, the one I really want, but really, truth be told, I doubt I'll get. I doubt I'll get either of them, and if I do, I don't even think it'll be a good thing. Menial work for no money -- something to really celebrate! Enough whining for now -- it is not a good day.
