In other news, my laptop officially died. Can’t recover anything. Fortunately most everything was backed up.
And good about backing up your computer. SirKit's died last week too, and he has been sharing Clare's for the last few days. She is not amused. The fridge is on the fritz, too. The ice maker, which we've never connected, has a flap that allows the ice to move down into the glasses. It started flapping yesterday, then the mechanism started beeping this morning, and all the lights and numbers on the display started blinking. Glad I'm gonna be out of town this weekend! ;o)
