hope to see you again soon..

On a whim this afternoon, I decided it was time for the Big Reinstall I've been planning on doing for ages--not just reinstalling the operating system but also repartitioning and reformatting of one of the drives. So I started the backup, and when I was almost done... Windows broke. The rest of the evening has been spent reinstalling the stupid thing so I could hobble along on it long enough to copy the stuff I couldn't live without over to M's computer in the insane hope that I lose as little stuff as possible. But, now it's ready to go, and I am posting this brief note because I don't much see it being finished before bedtime. I am so glad I have tomorrow off. I can't help but wonder, though... what are the odds that my computer would break while getting ready to reinstall?
