I have been uninspired to post recently, for a variety of reasons. Cobalt, obviously. Several trips out of town for work. General overwhelmedness.
Oh, and also, my computer fried itself on Wednesday. Kaput. Bye-bye hard drive. I'm trying not to think about it, and not really succeeding. I'm posting this from Shaun's computer; we're getting a new hard drive for mine, but it will take a couple days.
Why not just wipe the drive and reinstall? Because I'm stupid and didn't back up enough and maybe I can take the drive to someone who has a magic wand and can make all my files reappear then I won't have to cry (but they probably can't) so I'm still trying not to think about that yes I should back up no I didn't don't yell at me I've learned my lesson did I mention I'm an idiot?
Yes, I'm an idiot.
I'm off to take some pictures now, and will maybe get them posted tomorrow. Then I'm going to spin for a while and wind up all this tension in my mind into some lovely laceweight merino singles.

Oh no!
You make me feel like I should back up my files today ....
I like your approach to tension relief...works like a charm for me.
When it rains it pours. My heart goes out to you. The hard drive thing happened to me. I couldn't get over it because of a particular 16 page document, the *one* I didn't back up. When we got a little money two years later I finally decided to send the drive off to some data recovery specialists in California, despite the unjustifiability of the expense. They warn you of the potential cost, then do an initial assessment ("yes we can try" or "no way we can get anything off this"). Our answer was "no way," which, oddly, allowed me to get over the lost data, and was free since they couldn't help. I'm all for magic wands.
