While we were packing, both mine and Alex's computers suffered malfunctions in the power supplies. Alex assures me that he can fix Meredith (his computer), but my E-Machine is a wash. We managed to save all the files for my writing, but not any of my picture files from Charon (my computer).
So I have my writings, but not my situational maps. This makes it difficult to figure out blocking, so I will have to redo them. Blocking is very important, and if I've learned anything from my gaming it's that maps are a vital part of that process.
Luckily, Alex transferred my files onto his laptop which he left with me. So I have my writings and a dedicated computer. Internet is a bit iffy due to the fact that my mother's does not have wi-fi. The ether net cord that connected the laptop (it really needs a name, doesn't it?) to the wired network died unexpectedly. That might be for the best though, as I'm prone to being distracted by online activities such as reading or cruising Facebook. Cor, my favorite dictionaries are all online, so not being connected to the internet is a double-edged blade.
I need to get back in the habit of writing every day. With the chaos of the last month, I've been dealing with stress more than writing. The stress of trying to maintain my own household is over, for now, but unfortunately, I now have the stress of living with my mother and youngest sister.
That's a whole different kettle of fish.
