My mother has to have surgery to correct a medical error and she arrives today. I found out Monday night. I'm madly cleaning and rearranging the guest room so she has a place to stay.

Oh! I hope it's nothing too bad! *sends good vibes anyway*

Working on a new computer IS strange and frustrating. Nothing is exactly right yet. I forget how much I rely on everything being "just so" and it comes as a shock each time. It will be wonderful - I'm not complaining at all - but I lose a lot of productivity while adjusting.

Yes, yes! I absolutely agree! I love the new computer, but there are still a shitload of things I have to "fix" before I'll finally feel at home again...

I especially have to get rid of the new mouse (or maybe buy a graphic tablet, a v.v.v.v. cheap one). It's wearless and pretty and all... but I just can't work with it, especially on icons. I need absolute precision (you know how hard it is to work on 100x100 px icons!) and I can't get the kind of precision I need with it. :((

Anyway, I really shouldn't whine, because...YAY new comp! I'm just a bit impatient, you know? ;-)

*squishes with love*
