Lucky to still have a working computer...

hhh,,mmmm...how can I explain my almost 3 week absence?  I am obviously a bad blogger:(  Part laziness, falling out of the habit of journalling here every evening and partly computer problems.... So my computer was having ongoing issues and I finally found and took it in to an authorized Asus repair place. ...... Over $300. later, it's back home with a new motherboard, keyboard and something else.  Turns out it wasn't the easy issue it appeared to be at the start, a loose connector for the plug.... At any rate, I am fortunate to have been able to afford the repair:)
