Got The Brain Back

I got my computer fixed. Man, was I relieved! I didn't realize how much I'd miss it, until I didn't have it - only for about a week, or less. The hard drive had crashed on me, and I ordered a new one from Toshiba Direct - they had a good price, and I figured it might be safer to put in the same hard drive it had before.

So it arrived Tuesday, we popped it in, fortunately I had the restore disks, and in a few hours I was good to go. It's a little frustrating having to set everything up all over again - the desktop and all that - but at least I didn't have to buy a new computer!

I got my photo editing software set back up, so I'm good to go with that too.

And as for the living room, as I've let it settle in, it's growing on me more and more. I think this last arrangement is The One. I've got to get the rug, and work on the curtains soon. It's been challenging, it seems like I just can't find the time to get to all these projects I want to do, so things just aren't moving as quickly as I'd like.

Well, I'm not the first homeowner, by a long shot, to have the joyful challenge of doing makeovers and fix-ups while trying to get on with life. I'm sure it'll all come together. I do, however, have to get a bit more energetic.

I'm also flipping excited about the gardens! I'm dying to get to work on the front landscaping, where I have grand plans. Hopefully this weekend and next (a long holiday weekend with a couple vacation days to boot!) I'll get a lot done. Pictures soon!
