Missing the Chiclet

Augh! My precious chiclet (yes, that's my iBook) is gone, sent off today to the Applecare doctor to replace a suddenly crapped out CD-ROM drive (It's Always Something...sigh). So now I have a big, achingly empty, iBook-shaped hole in my life, right when I finally was hoping to get to spend some chunks of quality time with my iPhoto and iTunes libraries. Ah well. At least I have the good luck (and good taste) to live with a husband who happens to have two Powerbooks (one for work and one for home), and he's letting me use his work one til my dear chiclet is back. This sexy speedy stainless steel thing is all well and good, of course, and the screen resolution is lightyears better, but I miss my dinged up, stained, keys-half-rubbed-off, familiar workhorse. Funny how attached we become to our tools. I swear I spend at minimum a half hour and often more like a couple hours on that computer every day. And it's where I do my fun stuff (email, writing, photos, web browsing), not my work, so I'm especially fond of it. I hope I get it back soooooooooon! <*sob*>

(And yes, my Drivesavers friends, I *have* backed everything up before I sent off the chiclet to be fixed. What do you take me for, anyway? :P)

Other than that, not much going on today except for a triumphant yearly doctor checkup for Eli this morning (yes, he's healthy, not to mention still a genius and completely perfect in every way, thanks for asking). Still feeling sick (DAMMIT!) and having wicked insomnia last night (couldn't sleep past 3am) made me pretty much low key and blah today, so I didn't do much besides nap and hang out with Josh and Grammy and Eli (normally Eli would have gone to Grammy's house today but we all hung out here instead). I'm going to bed right after posting this though, and hopefully will get enough sleep tonight that tomorrow I'll be more energetic (and whooooo knows what that energy will be expended on...I'm hoping painting, if not labor).

Oh yeah and one more thing: look at all those purple numbers for January and February! (Actually now that it's March you can't see them any more, I guess...but mentally, just imagine.) 2 months of daily blogging (note I say nothing about the quality of said daily entries, but still). Rawk! \m/
