AWOL....my computer

AWOL...absent without leave!  I didn't give my computer permission to take a leave of absence but I'm without one anyway.  It's amazingly quiet without it!  I'm borrowing one to post this blog and take care of a few other items.  I'm totally connected to my computer!  One day I'll probably have a USB port installed in my right earlobe just so that I can connect directly to my brain.  I do everything by computer!  I read the paper, check my email, find movie times, check out recipes, keep up with my friends, post photos and chat with my photog friends!  How am I supposed to survive without one for 3 to 5 weeks?  That's how long the service guys tell me it will take to get mine back....fortunately still under warranty!  I suppose I'll get used to mooching.  Like most libraries...ours has internet access but living in the "middle of nowhere" makes it a long drive to find out how many tablespoons of relish should go in the tuna salad!  As I stated before...it's very quiet without my computer.  Each time I walk by my desk I find myself starting to sit down and plug in only to remember there's nothing to plug into.  I have a deep sense of despair accompanied by the beginnings of paranoia.  Will I really survive for over a month without this electronic connection?  I've become so attached to instant information and entertainment on demand.  I suppose this will be a time to get things done on the home front.   I should look at the bright side...maybe I'll get out and do some walking.  Perhaps my backside will slim down from receiving less time sitting in my comfy office chair...  I might even make that custom camera strap that I've been intending to make for months....the one with the cute cat fabric on the top side and the slinky minkie on the back...you sewists know what I mean!  I suppose I should enjoy the quiet.... no whirring of hard drives...no clicking of printers.  I have to admit though... somehow those sounds have become my lullabye.  Quiet??? who am I kidding!  I have kids....but that's a whole "nuther blog!  In the meantime.... about that tuna salad...
