The unthinkable!

My hard drive’s dead. Long live the hard drive!

Luckily, Ethan had the foresight to sit me down to make a bootable backup a couple of months ago. Most of the important information from this semester has been recovered; my browser bookmarks, though, have not. I’ll survive, for sure.

This comes on the heels of Thanksgiving, which was a challenging time in itself. We were three, my mom and Ethan and I, and although we love each other fiercely, mom and I don’t actually get along very well. We managed to get through it, and now there’s a clean and orderly apartment as a bonus.

It’s been a hectic week-and-a-half: conference, then immediately mom last week, then a weekend of recovery, clean-up and hard drive woes. I’ll be picking up again both here and at okno shortly.

“Sorry, everybody.” — “Ah, don’t worry about it.”

Apologies accepted. This was obvious before, but it’s nice to have sweet confirmation that the world doesn’t unequivocally hate us.

I was in Dobbs Ferry, NY for most of this week, helping out with some family logistics in the mornings and evenings and getting mad amounts of work done in the daytime. I’m pretty satisfied, all told. Now it’s back home with my love (oh, reunions are sweet)… and more work. Good stuff, though. I’m happy with how the week has gone; got to spend a decadent amount of quality time with my brother, hang out with the best nephew in the world, and, uh, miss my sister-in-law, whom I saw only briefly before she left on a business trip.

It’s hunkering-down weather. Frozen rain is scritching the air conditioner’s metal butt outside my window. More work to do today, and this weekend I’ll catch up on the world’s happenings.
