There is something absolutely powerful about setting up a brand new
computer. You feel like you’re putting your stamp on
something. Adding the programs you love, tweaking the
preferences–picking the PERFECT backdrops

I was actually in a bad mood because of the computer last night.
It proved MUCH harder to transfer my iTunes folder than it should
have. I should have been able to copy from my PC to my external
hard drive, then from my external hard drive to my mac. Didn’t
even come CLOSE to being that easy. I had to research the issue
and try several different things–finally succeeding. It still
took forever.

Word documents and Pictures proved to be equally problematic.
Everything was freezing the computer. BUT, it’s all done, transferred,
and running wonderfully. My external hard drive now includes mac
and PC versions of the backup. YAY!

Ok, I’ll stop talking about that…but really, it’s occupied my entire life for the past twenty-four hours.

I actually had some buyers remorse. The whole “can’t sleep cause
I did something stupid” thing. But it’s too late, I’m completely
in love with my iBook. I need to name it. Hmmm….any
suggestions?

My teeth hurt quite a bit right now. I’ve decided that today I’d
go eight hours between painkillers (increased from six which was
increased from four a couple days ago). So, the last couple hours
have kind of sucked, but the Toradol should kick in soon, and
everything will be great!

Pain killers, wonderfully set up Mac (GOD I’ve missed mac for the past
couple years–I feel like I’m back home–especially after hearing the
famous Mac start-up noise), and hours and hours of free time in the
next few days. What could be better for my mood?
