Last night I was annoying and disgruntled and growly, so I kicked myself out of bed and made myself sleep on the sofa.

Ok, really it is the fact that last night the heat and humidity really kicked in for the first time this summer (so unusually mild) and it was too hot to sleep upstairs. So I took my blanket and my pillow and went down to the living room, which is always like 5 degrees cooler. And the monologue in my head went "*toss toss turn grumble* can't sleep, too hot, stupid weather, I think it's cooler downstairs, if this weather keeps up I'm going to have to see about sleeping on the couch this summer and....hey. Wait. I could do that right now". Yeah, sometimes I'm slow. I'm gonna have to see if I can figure out where to put an alarm clock if I want to do it during the work week, though. Fortunately that's not an issue for a while, wee 3 day weekend!

Anyway, I've just killed most of the time I had to spare before going to the post office by writing that all up! I'm gonna finish my cup of coffee and then run to the post office. And I should go to the grocery store but - we'll see if I do that or not. I hope everybody has a fabulous weekend! *hugs*

So today is the curse of the computer...

Ash's monitor on her laptop went out totally, she might not be up and online now until Tuesday.

And at the *exact* same time as she called to tell me that? My computer flipped out hardcore. I finally had to reboot, it detected an error and now my profile has corrupted. Which is obviously a total bitch. Everything is going to need to be installed...thank god my D drive seems fine...I'm posting from my phone as the computer installs the DSL software *unbelievably slowly* I can retrieve some stuff off the corrupted profiles...Thank god, already rescued some of it...but this system is ancient and crochety & should have been replaced a year ago at least *sigh* Time to see where I can squeeze for a new one cause it is totally a matter of weeks. Hee! On my 11.00 budget *cough* Thank god I resisted the shoes!

ETA Ok, the administrator profile is what's corrupt and as far as I can find so far, the solution is just a full reinstall, although I'm seeing if there's anything else - does anybody know by any chance?

Also, Ash wants to know if anybody's ever had a laptop monitor just go black and stop working with absolutely no warning. She's also trying to figure out a way to blame me for this. *sighs*
