what's going on?

What's going on? I hear you say.  Where is she?  Well let me tell you -- My computer has decided it's earned an early retirement! 

They are fantastic inventions when they are working, but boy can they throw a spanner in the works when they're not.  Especially when most of your life is on them!  Luckily from past experience I've learnt to BACK-UP EVERYTHING!  All our photos, home movies, all my homework assignments, every draft I've ever written (of anything), and of course all my kids homework assignments etc. is on that damn machine.  Honestly I don't know what we ever did without it, but I hate it right now.  

Don't be mistaken in thinking I'm not a fan of technology, au contraire, I LOVE it.  Maybe too much, and maybe that is the problem.  I feel so lost at the moment.  How sad is that?!

Needless to say, my iPhone is my only connection to the on-line world and honestly, it is kind of tedious typing on that thing, hence no posts.  Sorry guys.  My bigger dilemma just now however is that I'm currently doing the ProSeries course with ScreenwritingU on-line and frankly, I shudder at the thought of typing up an assignment post on that tiny keypad.

So, I'm destined for Internet cafes and the library until my baby comes home -- fingers crossed it's a short parting.

Funny the things we take for granted.  How would you manage without your computer?  Or the Internet?  We are so privileged to live in a time when we are all able to instantly connect to anywhere in the world, any time we like, and not leave home to do it.  I feel blessed to have a wonderful community of cyber friends, who I feel just as connected to as the ones I can sit and have a cuppa with and who will slap me when I need it.  Oh, there we go *rubs cheek*.  Yes, I know, it's just a computer!

Hope yours is working.

Happy writing ;)
