Computer-less

Just as I was gearing myself up to be a better blogger and post more frequently my harddrive crashed. I have spent the entire month of November computer-less. It has been a complete departure from our normal lives as I have been unable to work and being so far from friends and family the computer really becomes our life line.

Normally a hard drive could be repaired quickly, however my situation is somewhat complicated by my location. Because my computer is still under warranty in the US it seemed logical to send it to the US for repairs rather than pay in the UK....although now that my laptop is stuck in the customs system I am doubting that plan. My computer re-entered the UK on the 15th of Nov but has still not been released by the customs department because they are reviewing the paperwork (all 3 pages of it!!!). Trey has been working diligently which means I have rarely had the opportunity to use his laptop, giving me precious little computer time at all in the last month and have therefore been absent from blogging and facebook.

I am hoping that as we enter December the new month will bring good luck and the customs department will have a wonderful wave of Christmas cheer and send my computer on it's merry way. Here's to hoping!
