Possible Interruption

not that you'd notice, since I don't update here as often as I'd like.

Marcia's mother was in a car accident yesterday, and is in hospital with a broken ankle and collarbone (and heavy bruising, I gather). This may signal a trip to Tennessee for one or both of us.

Just what we need with Marcia having been un/underemployed this summer, and my PC dying suddenly a couple of weeks ago.

USB hard drives are really useful things for backups, because they're easy to do, so they get done. Thus I only lost a week's worth of stuff, much of which I could recover from online sources. Just flip up a command prompt and type "xcopy c:\*.* e:\tim\*.* /c /d /e /k /r /y" and Bob's your uncle.

Ugh.

Healing thoughts from New York

Hope she gets better at an appropriately quick rate. Hope the trip doesn't strain your finances unduly.

Hey, Bob is my uncle!

Rats - these things never happen when people are unexpectedly wealthy, do they.

[livejournal.com profile] bohemiancoast was disposing of some PC hardware a while back, might be worth checking if she has anything left.

sorry to hear about Marcia's mum.

I hope things get better for you.

Sorry to hear about Marcia's mother. Hope she heals quickly both for her sake and so that a US trip won't be necessary. Hang in there, both of you!
