Nothing like a good computer crash to put things in perspective for you. Two days of aggravation, the final crash, the purchase of a new hard drive, the beginning of reinstallation of mountains of software... not to mention the withdrawal symptoms... and the sheer, through-the-ceiling stress level.
But (knocking wood and bowing to the computer gods) it appears that all is functioning correctly... finally. I had forgotten what an ordeal I survived! After all, that's what I do best :)
On top of that, I'm having a huge battle with my insurance agent back in Washington state... he doesn't really want to transfer my policies to Arizona, so he's not being very cooperative... and Southern charm isn't getting me anywhere, so the gloves are coming off... wish me luck!!
So glad you are back to posting. I do wish you luck--and I bet right now you are enjoying your gorgeous desert winter before the summer sets in. Hope you are feeling better and better, too.

Thanks, Fran... the gift of encouragement is definitely yours :) I am enjoying the winter here... the sunshine is absolutely glorious and the warmth does my soul good. I was actually here for some of the really hot weather last summer and I even like that... something in me was just created for sunshine!
