Day 227- Peach Wine
I have been getting a bit frustrated lately because my computer has developed a habit of spontaneously shutting down. This often happens when I am right in the middle of doing something, and that is just no fun. I suppose I should admit that the reason it does this is because I accidentally pushed it off the couch a few months ago, and it got a little banged up. Oops. The fact that this is totally and completely my fault makes the total shutdowns irk me that much more. I might not always react in the most pleasant ways.
I have had quite a bit of practice dealing with this occurence, as the restarts are happening more and more frequently. I finally decided I needed an attitude adjustment today. When the computer failed me in the middle of an e-mail, I knew it was the perfect opportunity. Instead of whining, I wined.
Yes, that's right. I set down the computer gently. It has been through a lot since the Humpty Dumpty incident of '10, after all. I walked calmly to the kitchen, opened the refrigerator, and poured myself a glass of wine. I'm not usually a wine drinker, but we had a delicious bottle of peach wine from our very own Augusta, MO winery in the fridge. I poured some for Tom, we clinked our glasses, and I knocked back the smooth peach loveliness.
I let my computer rest for the remainder of the afternoon/evening, and I am hoping for a full reconciliation tomorrow. For now, I am using Tom's laptop and still enjoying the lingering wine buzz. Computer shmumputer.
Thank you, peach wine, you made my day.
