And now, it's venting time. Feel free to skip ahead - I just need to b***h right now.
So, I've spoken elsewhere of my computer, DarkAngel, dying - and so far, it shows no signs of resurrection. So all the music and other cool stuff I had on the hard drive is locked away, until such time as I get a) another computer and b) a hard-drive enclosure, so I can remove the drive and copy the data to the new system. Now, i should be getting the computer J. has with him in Iraq, when he returns in June. Meantime, I've been sharing ArmyWife with H.
I also spoke elsewhere of H. being called away, because J's father had a heart attack. I have come to learn that the Red Cross has yet to get correct information to J's command, so it's quite likely that he won't get to go home to see the old man. We can hope that he'll pull through, but when I heard from H. earlier today, she said he didn't look good. Either way, she's there until this weekend, because we spent more money than we had to get her there, so she can't come back until J. gets paid.
Usually, I text her every so often, just to stay in touch. However, today, that went by the board. I had been recharging my cell phone, so it was on a small table next to the couch. Apparently, the cat knocked the phone down - and the dog dragged it under the couch, and chewed off the antenna. Now my phone can play games, and it can function as an alarm clock, but it can't make calls, it can't receive calls, and it can't send or receive text messages.
On the plus side, the phone is up for an upgrade next week...
