My main computer saga continues here. Definitely my hard drive is not working. Main computer is just about 6 years old…average lifespan of desktop is 5 years. Do I try to replace my hard drive (and figure out how to get Windows 10 back when main computer was bought with Windows 8 but upgraded later to Windows 10???) and keep my fingers crossed that nothing else was wrong? Or do I replace the desktop tower and start anew?
Anyway, I already had my laptop set up with tools I need for blogging. I did find a spare HDMI cable and linked my laptop to my big desktop monitor, and plugged the speakers into the laptop, so I feel almost “normal”. My biggest hiccup is that I am using my laptop keyboard, but I keep rolling out the keyboard tray for the desktop. (Yes, I could plug the desktop keyboard into the laptop, but then when I want to connect my camera to download photos (quickest way), I would have to unplug sound or keyboard to free up a USB slot. First World problem, to be sure.)
I am going for classic Valentines this year! This one is for my parents.

This is my reflection on our main computer screen this morning,
So, my disk won’t come back up.
SIGH.
I think I got everything copied before it died. Hopefully.
Went to the chiropractor this afternoon – OUCH. My neck is a hot mess. I have to go back Friday.
Between searching for a new computer, and being under orders to NOT look down, I won’t be back until next week.
Took a break from the mother-in-law project today. I have 6 of 8 complete.
These Newton’s Nook aloe plants, with the “Aloe!” sentiment, gave me just the breath of fresh air I needed. I stamped and used the coordinating dies to make them more dimensional.
