My laptop's dying. I need to do a full backup on it, and tomorrow is booked, so it will have to wait. I hate backups, I'm terrified I'll put a finger wrong and end up down some heretofore unseen rabbit hole. Stupid technology. Why can't we all just think at each other, selectively?
Wash: Little River just gets more colorful by the moment. What'll she do next? Zoe: Either blow us all up or rub soup in our hair. It's a toss-up. Wash: I hope she does the soup thing. It's always a hoot, and we don't all die from it.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yeah, the backup is scaring me, too.

Um, that's a lot to earn in a month, msbelle? Good luck?
Thanks for the love, y'all. Got a few things done, sent a few emails, told a few folks I was logging off early and would be back online later. ...it's later and I'm still procrastinating it.
Wrist still hurts a lot today. I have it in a splint, which helps, except it also makes typing on my work laptop a pain, I keep hitting keys I don't mean to. Am icing it a lot. Right now it's way more painful than my ankle!
Oh, and good luck to Zoe tomorrow!
I don't back up my computer nearly as often as I should

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Good health ~ma to Zoe! Glad she's feeling better.
meara, that SUCKS. I hope your wrist heals quickly. I feel you on the exhaustion. I'm so done with this.
I have tendonitis in my Achilles' tendon and it hurts worse than my broken ankle did. And suddenly I've developed what seems to be arthritis in my right middle finger; at first I was waking up with it feeling like it slipped out of joint, and now it aches all the time. Oh, and I'm almost sure I've fucked up the healing leg break again, when I jumped off the garden wall. (It's a low wall!) What the fork. I don't want another forking surgery.

I wish my Magical Healing Powers actually worked, for people as well as doggies.

Ack, Zen! No further breakage! Are you going to the doctor soon?
I tried to go to sleep 45 minutes ago, I was feeling very very sleepy. And instead I laid here with thoughts of all the things I need to do, going through my head. Argh. Have given in and taken half a sleeping pill, but I took one last night and fear it's why this morning after hitting snooze twice I turned off my alarm and fell back asleep for an hour!

...still awake. Argh.

Hi meara! (I hope that you fell asleep by now).

Hey. New board.
I decided to pay a monthly fee and give up all my privacy to get 2 TB of Google Drive storage, and every file of even slight importance I own lives on it, solely because even for pretty techy people like me traditional backups are a nightmare.

Our wings are not tired.
Oh Zen! You both made me laugh with the dysfunctional middle finger, and made me wince at the jump off the wall. Take it easy, woman!
I hope sound sleep happened, meara.
Zoe is acting 100% normal this morning. DH is taking her to get her echo this morning.
Backups happen for me nightly. A while ago I moved my computer system to a virtual machine at our datacenter where I store all my customer's medical records. Their backups happen multiple times a day, but mine just once is fine. Our datacenter is here in Florida, but it also replicates to Chicago at night in case we get hit by a meteor or something. I don't' know, let's just say I work with super diligent geeks. My local computer may have a few pictures on it, but I move things regularly to my cloud machine. I work all day in a remote desktop session.
