Not really a vacation, but rather a forced hiatus of over a year! My poor laptop gave up the ghost about fourteen months ago, and my time online has been very limited since. But thanks to the unexpected receipt of a check from a lab company due to overpayment of charges five years ago I have finally been able to obtain a new, wonderful, beautiful laptop! My obsessive researching capabilities found me just about exactly what I wanted for less than half the original price. Yippee! I am one with the living yet again!
That said, a year of stolen moments on the computer has taught me just how unnecessary much time on the computer is. My time now is very measured when I make time to get on the computer. I must now complete a schedule that allows me to accomplish the work that needs to be done on the computer with a running list of those things so that I don't forget and aimlessly wander or fall into careless ways.
But the purpose of this little entry is to give thanks for a way to continue this blog so that family and friends might be able to catch up with our little family. (But not so late at night, because thinking and writing gets supremely difficult when one's brain is half-dead.)
