Instant Karma?

It seems we bought a new computer just in the nick of time. This morning the C drive on the old one refused to boot, giving a fixed disk system error that (in the past) has signalled the demise of other machines. Luckily, I had already transferred almost all my data files from the old one to the new one.

We've had two computers for less than a week, but already neither of us is willing to go back to having just one. So we will find some way to work this out. There are two other hard drives in that machine, after all (one of which was a primary C drive in our previous computer). So I'm sure we can get it running again, even if the C drive really is kaput.

It's just funny, though. We bring this kick-ass new machine in, and less than a week later our old one throws in the towel? Hmmm.

So, it's Thursday. Thursday is so much better than Wednesday (especially when I don't have my usual Thursday 8:30 meeting to attend). And Thursday is almost as good as Friday. Not quite, of course. But almost. On Thursday it becomes okay for me to start thinking about the weekend... it doesn't feel so far away anymore.

This weekend I hope to make some more plans for our trip to England (which reminds me, I need to order those books from Amazon). Saturday night we are attending a game night at Amanda and Frank's. Should be a fun weekend!
