He's dead, Dave. Everybody's dead. Everybody is dead, Dave

A public service announcement: my computer's keyboard has shorted out. Because the keyboard does not work, I have not yet determined if there is other damage. Until further notice, I do not have a computer. I have the loan of derspatchel's laptop for e-mail and Nokia, that I may remain employed, but everything else is right out. Fortunately, I have a recent backup. Unfortunately, I really can't do much about transferring it to this machine. It is my superstitious hope that Bertie Owen will prove amenable to light repair, because I cannot, literally cannot, afford to replace him right now. I am concerned.

I slept approximately an hour last night due to five o'clock shenanigans with cats, a securely closed door, a smashed glass, and being in the shower when I heard the unmistakable sound of breakage on hardwood (I woke Rob to help, I took a piece of glass out of my foot, I finished my shower, we cleaned up my office, I had a doctor's appointment at nine o'clock this morning), so I am going to lie down now. Then I have to work a lot. Anyway, if I'm not online much today or in days to come, that's why.

This year.

If I can get it charged, I have an old iPad I inherited that you can have on indefinite loan. It's no good for writing, but it does go to the internet. I can also try to hit up some folks for a barebonesy sort of laptop on Thursday. I suspect they'll have something they'd be willing to give me for ... hell, I think I could barter some editing. I will text you when/if this thing charges or once I talk to my lads.

Thank you very much for this offer. Let me ascertain first if it's needed—if Bertie Owen is going to be recoverable, or if I'm going to need to give him a state funeral—and then I will let you know? There is no point in you bartering a laptop from your folks if I can pull through with the one I've got! But I truly appreciate it.
