kittydesadeSo, I guess the good news is that after running about five different antivirus programs my computer may end up being malware-free. This strikes me as something like the equivalent of hitting the offending spider with a can of Raid, your boot, the phone book, the Oxford Shakespeare, and then jumping up and down on it just to make sure, but hey. You gotta do what you gotta do, right? The somewhat better news is that if I can keep it going until my birthday (roughly four more months, which is what I was planning on trying to do anyway) my aunt and the Elf Lord will kick in some. A new laptop is $5-600 bucks. I did my budget and I can certainly save up that much by then, so with family kicking in, I should be able to get somewhat that will last. And hopefully then I'll have a backup compy too.
I also got a whole bunch of boxes yesterday! Thank you, folken! *snuggles* Especially to my darling Bria, whose present was timely enough to remind me that I am, in fact, the goddamn jaguar, and the little things should not get me down.
I also found my other pair of shoes, which are really more like sneaker boots/hiking boots for squishy people, and they are in good condition with only some scuffing at the toes. I can live with this. This also means I don't need to shell out for a new pair of sneakers, which, at this point, all to the good.
Firefox still isn't working on the laptop, but that may be in the line of requiring an uninstall/reinstall, which isn't bad. I can get the install file either at work and pop it into an email to myself or here and pop it onto a flash drive. A few of us did a working last night to try and improve our probabilities, and if nothing else I would hope that we, as the TSO storyteller says, did no harm.
I cut my finger slicing potatoes. I never cut my finger slicing vegetables. What the hell.
But, overall... well. Here's hoping today goes better than yesterday. If it's slow at work I can get started on my homework assignment for the week, too. Or at least get a bit of a walk in; it's slowly, very slowly warming up. And this Thursday will begin the sixth week of Courtesan school. Holy crap, people.
