Everything is dying

Well, it has been a while since I wrote. Things are still crazy around here. We are busy this summer with soccer and reenacting. We have had several events over the past couple of months. I cannot show you pictures though, because my computer has issues. It started behaving funny about a month ago, and just continually got worse. It has now lost its operating system and Staples has sent it off to the depot for repairs. Thank goodness we bought the extended warranty. We bought a laptop in March to help Hubby teach his new curriculum. The first time he used it to teach was at the end of June. As he was starting the afternoon class on the first day, it seemed to be going well. That was just an illusion though. The hard drive crashed during his powerpoint presentation. Nobody was even touching it. That was fixed and returned within three days, so we are not completely computerless, but I do not want to put my photo program on the laptop. We thought our bad luck was changing, because there were no other computers in the house. They say bad things happen in threes, so we should have known better. Two days ago, while preparing to enter the freeway, my car died. They are pretty sure it is the torque converter, and that would mean a whole new transmission. The cost of such repairs wold be more than we paid for the car.
This means we have had to reevaluate some of the events we were planning on attending, but thankfully it is just stuff and not those dear to us.
