Talk about starting over...

I am back online after over a week hiatus from my computer completely crashing and losing everything. Ok I didn't lose everything because I am completely neurotic when it comes to backing things up, I guess for this exact reason. A note to everyone- always bring the start up disk for your computer whenever you travel to a foreign country lest you end up like me with a new hard drive all in French including the keyboard. It is ok though as I seem to be getting used to having the A where the Q is… But regardless this past week of being off the grid has been difficult to say the least as all of the work I have been doing requires being able to access my email at any time and after all I am a writer and without this machine I write differently. Don't get me wrong I went back to the good old pen and paper and I could rumminate on how this is important to get back to the roots and all that and it's not good to be dependent on a machine but honestly I don't care. I need this apple for better or worse. All that being said the last two weeks have been absolutely incredible I have done several fantastic things: which I will indulge upon a little bit later. The weather is almost finally nice though a bunch of dark clouds just rolled in but at least it is finally warm. Hope everyone is doing well.
xox,
A
