Well hey there, it’s a computer! Let’s see, we put this wire into this plug, and that cord into that hole, and push the button…. it works! Hallelujah, it’s a miracle!
So I got my computer hooked up and back online. And not the vile Vista laptop. Ok, I shouldn’t talk smack about it like that – it kept me online when I had no other way. But now, I am on my computer, my beloved desktop PC, with all my files and music and good stuff like that. And wires. My goodness, this thing has a lot of wires. The electrical spaghetti beneath my desk is astounding. My next computer will definitely be an iMac, because they are sleek, and with wireless technology the only wire you absolutely need for it is the power. One single wire. Oh, how I long for the simplicity of it all.
But I digress. Now that I have my PC unpacked, FH is playing WOW again, and we are settling into our new home, I anticipate having much more time to blog and be blogged. There is still more unpacking to do, more stuff to buy, and oh yeah, a wedding coming up, but I’m happy that I can finally get back to my PC. Don’t forget, it’s not just that I haven’t been online the past few weeks – the entire year that FH and I lived in that tiny, 1-bedroom apartment, my computer was in the bedroom and FH’s in the living room, and since I like spending time with him I spent my time in the living room, using the laptop to keep caught up and keep myself alive as far at the world wide interwebs are concerned. I do have files on the laptop that need to be moved, but that’s nothing a flash drive can’t take care of. For now, I’m happy to be home. Home on my computer, and home in the home that FH and I are making for ourselves. He’s here in the office (a room dedicated to wasting time with computers!) with me, playing WOW, and I can still reach out and touch him if I want to.
Life is good.
