Computer is Out!

A few weeks ago my computer wouldn't power up and a good friend of ours, Mat, who is good with computers replaced the power supply.  So for two weeks I was able to move files to our external hard drive, work on 5mbackflowtesting.com, photo editing, and what-not.  Well yesterday evening, the power went out again and after many times of trying to power it back up, it wouldn't do A THING for me, so I am without a computer again, at least until it gets fixed or replaced.  This computer is only around 3 years old!  But it has all my web development software, photo editing, and everything preschool on it.  I'd hate to go thru the trouble of reinstalling everything on a new computer (I'm afraid it might come to that!).

Let me tell you, it can be annoying without a computer, but it is good in a way because I find other use for my time usually spent on the computer - researching, blogging, answering/writing emails, etc.   I got really creative last time when it was out for a few days.  I liked the break from the computer work, but I can't imagine being without one for an extended period of time.  I'll consider this a bit of "digital detox" for me - but watch my photo editing work and blog posts pile up (i.e. the big Fall Break post! - if you're my friend on Facebook, you can view photos of our trip to Cali there).
