Finally coming out the other side of a week of tech disasters. A Microsoft update trashed my husbands’ email, and it took me days to figure out how to repair it. I finally found the fix, but it was complicated and took a while.

Then my aging main desktop computer (the one I do most of my work on) started flashing black screens occasionally and refusing to wake up out of hibernation. A few days of that and came the day it took me four tries to get it to reboot. Uh oh. (Side note: the computer is 14 years old. It doesn’t owe me anything.)

New computer arrived late Friday night and I spent the weekend getting files transferred from the old computer to the new one, installing programs on the new one and linking them to the proper data files, relogging into everything and making the 101 little adjustments to get it working exactly the way I want. There’s still more to do, but all the important things are running! And this one is much faster, so that’s a win.
