Bad Bad Day

Our beloved Maggie, a thirteen-year old German Shepard died this evening. She was so old and weak. I feel like I've lost a child and I'm beyond grief. I'll miss you old girl.

B1 wants another dog. I don't think now is a good time. And if we do decide to get another dog, it will be a mutt, preferably a rescue dog.

On top of that my desktop computer crashed last night during one of those damn horrendous thunderstorms that passed through. I took it to the shop to see if it can be repaired. Most of my files are safely backed up, but I did have alot of music that wasn't backed up. The big problem is that it acted as the server for our home network. Right now I have the laptop hooked up, but it is a sorry replacement. Why can't we ever have gentle rains around here? We get torrential rains, hail and high winds every time it rains. Could it be global warming?

I haven't written a darn thing since the last edit of my novel. I mailed it out to the requesting publisher last Thursday, so now I wait.
