NaraMoore, 
I guess things are looking up.
Both backup machines are up and running and I can write, edit, and reach the internet on them.
I have a publication streak of 40 weeks currently on PIXIV
The cap to my second thermos, the GochiUsa one, has reappeared. I was worried.
If I get one more follower I will have one for each day of the year. Drat leap year.
And the sun is out.
