{peek in} Sorry to become spotty at replying so soon after I delurked. {apologetic smile}
As I mentioned to some of you in email, last week Monday (a week and a half or so) we had a bad power failure in our part of town. It started with lights going on and off and on like someone was playing with the light switch. I assumed that’s what was happening, so I took a while to turn off my computer, modem, and battery backup. After that it didn’t work right, so Dad and I took my computer in to The Computer Store Wednesday morning. We got it back Saturday with the tech’s assurances that it worked great for her. She said if I still had trouble, try plugging it straight into the wall, because it might be the battery backup. She was right. The problem was the battery backup. I bought a new one Monday, Dad installed it Tuesday, and I took my time moving things back. I just wasn’t in a mood to rush.
While my computer wasn’t working, Dad let me use his. However, that’s never quite as efficient as using my own, so I kind of fell behind in my reading and responding everywhere except in email. I think I just caught up with the three places I’m currently trying to read to keep up with my friends beyond email, including my friends’ blogs and LiveJournal, and at least one usenet newsgroup (alt.books.m-lackey, which isn’t quite totally inactive).
Anyway, I hope I’ll be better at keeping up now that I’m back on my own computer. {Smile}

Glad you're back! :) My brother's been having trouble with his backup battery, too. Glad you could get it replaced without too much trouble.
ReplyDeleteThank you. The worst part of replacing it was getting around to it. {Smile}
ReplyDeleteI hope your brother can fix or replace his battery backup easily, too. {Smile}

I guess that was an easy fix! I'm glad you are doing better, and I hope your improved heath continues. My own health has been off and on for over a year now, and now I need shoulder surgery. Can't say when I'll get that done.
ReplyDeleteMaybe it was an easy fix, but the week and a half that it took seemed pretty long while I was living it. {rueful smile}
DeleteThank you. I'd like to have a rest from health complications for a while. {Smile}
I'm sorry to hear you're having health trouble. Shoulder surgery sounds particularly tricky. I hope it goes off uneventfully. {Sympathetic Smile}
