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.

Oh, gosh. Glad about backup and derspatchel's help + laptop loan. I am sorry that there are so many unfortunate things!

Eek. I hope a fix is possible. *support support*

I hope your computer is repairable and that nothing else bad happens for a good long while.

(Verily, I curse 2014 and all that is in it. I hope your foot mends swiftly.)

We'll be clear of this year in a few short weeks. Let's hope for a much, much better 2015.

Your cats are spirits of mischief. I'm sorry you're having to deal with them breaking more of your stuff when you're not in a position to replace things. :(

Ugh. I hope your foot heals quickly and that your computer can be easily fixed.

(I too am looking forward to this year being over.)

On the bright side, I ordered a copy of your book last night!

[pameladean]

Ow, I'm so sorry. Not the ideal shower at all.

I ordered two copies of your book. One is for me and I am still pondering who most deserves the other.

P.

Gyah. I hope that Bertie Owen's black-out is trivial and temporary; I hope that nothing precious was broken; I hope your foot heals swiftly; I hope the doctor was helpful.

I hope your book flies onto shelves and screens, and is read, admired, and loved.

And I hope that 2015 is infinitely better.

Someone I Like Is Due A Fucking Break (that someone is you)

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.
