I washed it, but I did not fold it. Because I did not want to.
Instead, it is sitting in the basket getting wrinkled.
I also read a book for most of the day about Anne Morrow Lindbergh.
When I was in high school one of my closest friends read a book by her. She never loaned it to me, she just told me about it. Then, she bought me a different book by Anne Morrow Lindbergh than the one she'd told me all about. I've always loved that book ("Gift From The Sea") but I've always wanted to read the other book. But I don't know what it's called. Anyway, this is entirely pointless, but it is interesting to read about people's real lives and how they mess things up and think they have things figured out and how they don't. I especially liked the part of how she debated whether she could be a writer and be a mother.
Choosing an identity is a tricky business.
Being without a computer is also a tricky business. I am not thinking about the things I've lost. Instead, I am closing my eyes tightly and hoping my brother-in-law will work miracles tomorrow.
My two-bedroom, clean town home is looking possible. I had to call people on the phone to investigate it, which was extremely traumatic.
No pictures. They are on the dead computer.
Luckily, I have back-ups of those.
As for all work on my novel from October through March... not so much.
I guess it's good I started being a slacker in February.
I am also missing my budget.
Does this mean I can buy whatever I want?
Too bad I can't look on the internet for it.

Jamie, I am so sorry your computer crashed. Are you still in Iowa? Sounds like you found something! It's always been such a drag hunting for a new home whenever we've moved somewhere.
I've loved your posts about Iowa. Sure wish you could go live in the country in a farm home too.
No worries about your novel. I sort of took an indefinite hiatus starting February too (after being so diligent). Sometimes I feel so strongly about writing and working toward being published and then the Lord blesses me with a moment of perspective and I realize that, for now, I am enough. That doesn't mean I am going to stop working towards my goals, but it doesn't have to be so important that I lose sight of His eternal perspective. Hmmm...did any of that make sense?
I dont fold laundry immediately either Jamie, yesterday i had a pile that wouldve swallowed you...and your children!!! I hope your doing well, keep blogging!
