Kick ‘em when their up – Kick ‘em when their…

So Wednesday morning I got some great news – the short story I submitted for Xchyler’s paranormal anthology for this fall was accepted. This will be the third time a White Dragon Black story will see print.

Then, that afternoon, my computer died. Can’t load up, doesn’ believe there is a hard drive or anything.

Then, that evening, the internet receiver was hit by lightening – no internet (it even fried the the router).

I wasn’t even on my first increased dose of my meds yet – that came Wednesday night.

So today the internet provider got us back on-line. My wife is out for the day and bought a new router we couldn’t afford.  I am currently using her computer (plugged in to the ethernet on the kitchen) which is more obsolete than my old obsolete computer was.

Doing anything on-line is almost physically painful.

I need a new computer – clearly – but she is sooo next in line to get one, that to even think of getting one before her makes my kind of nauseous.

Really don’t know what we are going to do.

My mood is stabilizing with the drugs. There is a slight chance I can get the truck running with new relay and glow plugs. I’m holding on to that small glimmer of hope. We need that problem sorted to pretend to get back on track.
