I barely survived the crash

Our computer was going to a blue screen and giving us an error message. It was a week and a half of trauma. I kept worrying about what was going on the net, while I was completely cut off from cyber-world. I started getting anxious when I realized that I couldn't just get information willey nilley anymore. How could I find out what was voted off Dancing With the Stars without the internet? Once, last week, I even had to use the computer at the library.

It wasn't just me. All my peeps were feeling the strain. Kate only likes to pound on the keyboard when the screen is on. Emily constantly reminded Brad to fix her computer so she can play games. And Brad, dear Brad you could almost feel the pain his organizational, extreme neatness, genes felt as he looked at the growing pile of papers, books, wires, pens, and other stuff that was once our computer desk. Because hey, now that the computer had crashed, the desk became a great place to store stuff.

Then Brad the genius saved the day! Our computer works! Glorious glorious day. It is reassuring to think that if I do need to do some sort of research, I can. (Which by the way hasn't really happened since college.) Emily may have her 20 minutes of PBS Kids, and Kate can ruin the keyboard once again. Brad happily spent an hour and a half restoring order to the computer and desk. Thanks Brad for putting smiles back on all of our faces!
