into the next1

Hello all,

I am typing this with an on screen keyboard, s-l-o-w-l-y, one little mouse click at a time, because the computer I bought to replace the one that Birdie fried with a sippy cup of water kept giving me the blue screen of death and is still caught in some corporate limbo and there is still 1 to 4 weeks wait minimum before we hear if they are going to replace it.  So, here I am typing s-l-o-w-l-y with a pointer while hitting the backspace button every 4 seconds because one of the effects of giving my laptop a shower is that the "1" key gets stuck and spits out "1"s continuously1.

I'm number 1 at pathetic.

Since this typing thing is so s-l-o-w and labourious, posting has been nearly non-existent.  You may have1 noticed.  For me, considering my usual verbosity, this keyboard madness is a little bit like going to shift into fifth gear on the highway and accidentally gearing down to first.  Disconcerting at the least.  I hope I haven't damaged my motor.

I would like to assure you that we1 are still here, sewing has happened, and photos taken.  Normalcy will be restored... s-l-o-w-l-y.

Happy New Year all, and may brilliant ideas visit you everyday.

ps, this brief post took 45 minutes  to compose.  So very pathetic.
