I had to take my computer in today for a well-baby check-up. Over the last six months my computer has been getting slower and slower. Now it's one of those things that you don't notice until you use a reasonable computer and you think: this is what using a computer should be like.

For me it was my parents new desktop, the computer I am currently using to type up this post. I used it and thought: I have to get my computer moving faster or buy a new one.

Now I am laptop-less for a few days.

This isn't the worst thing in the world. Luckily I can remember my various passwords to gmail, twitter, facebook, wordpress and I think even to tumbler. It's just not as convenient to use other people's computers plus the monitor/keyboard combination doesn't fit as nicely on my lap as my laptop does. My computer is well, mine, and my MoM's computer is set up to fit her needs. Different needs than mine.

The good news is that while my computer is getting the once over by some computer nerds, I'll be heading down to Corvallis, Oregon to visit my baby sister. I hope that the nerds will do a once over, work some magic and have my six-year old computer up and running again. If not I'll be buying a new one but I guess these things happen.

Anyhow, I am pretty sure I wouldn't be doing much computing/blogging/internetting while visiting my sister any way. Here's what I think we'll be doing: talking, gossiping, drinking coffee and wine, eating great local food, going to the Oregon coast and maybe doing a little shopping. That means there's just not that much time for me to use and/or miss my computer.

Hip-hip-hooray for little sisters!!
