punctuated equilibrium

So, that laptop I was begging not to die?  It died.

Pause for wails of grief from me.

I managed to replace it in short order and without complete financial ruin.  Just sent out a big stack of DVDs, but still many more to do. 

Yesterday the kids started school.  Sean was great.  He bolted away from me and into the fray.  I shot to Starbuck's with new laptop.  I had to go to two.  First one was full of women whose children were in school.  Talking. Ugh! Found a quiet one, wrote. A relief to know I still can.  But I've been mostly busy getting the new computer set up, finding my backups, downloading stuff, blah blah blah. Had my last maths tutorial last night.  Tutor was great and brought much-needed lucidity to difficult calculus questions. 

These assignments still killing me, though.  Really the maths one is just too hard in comparison to the rest of the course.

Choppy nature of this post is because my brain is without glue.  Or gluons.  Or did I mean glial cells?  I don't even know what I meant.  It only works in brief bursts. Then has to lean against a tree and rest.  Regain balance. Etc.

Me out.
