Breaking Up Is Hard To Do

I finally did it. I finally got up the courage & the inner strength to make a clean break, a clear get-away. I've been terribly unhappy for a long, long time & needed to do something about it to maintain my sanity & happiness.


I finally transferred all the files from my old computer to the new.

It took some doing, mind, & I think I shed 12 pounds whilst doing it, but it's finally done. The old, nasty, blue-screen-of-death computer can be stripped of its assets & wiped of its memory. I'm through. I'm done. I'm finished. I've broken free of its tyranny & I'm not going back. I want to take a sledge hammer to it, but Puffy has plans. "Good luck!" I say to him. Back away from the cursed one before it threatens your mental well-being as well as mine.

"Windows Easy Transfer" ~ not so easy & not so much transferring happened. I ended up using my 4GB memory stick to physically transfer files {from computer room to living room as laptop battery was dying & there is only one, count them, ONE plug-in in the computer room}.

But, happily, all I need is here on my new baby now.

When we had to evacuate a hotel room in the night due to a fire alarm, I saved it!
