My So-Called Online Life

Life without a computer has been a lot easier than I expected. I figured I would be breaking down in tears and nervous breakdowns by the weekend, but I've been pretty casual about it. Part of it is that I don't want to know if Isidore is dead dead, permanently dead so I've been taking my time about trying to fix him. The longer I put off knowing the situation... the longer I put off knowing the situation. So I've made attempts here and there but haven't given up hope and haven't actually touched him in several days.

I get by pretty well, usually coming in a little early and staying a little late and spending my lunch hour on the computer (which is bad for my walking, but I probably wouldn't do much walking anyway, with the weather we're having) so that I can stay caught up on email and RSS feeds and such. In the evenings, I watch TV or read or cook or walk... I do the things that I usually do with Isidore sitting by me. So far I'm just missing out on:

• downloading photos from my camera to my computer (I've just given up on Project 365! because I can't keep track of what I've taken)
• changing the music on my mp3 player
• TVGuide.com listings (stupid WXIX, constantly replacing American Idol with stupid University of Cincinnati basketball games)
• IMDb for those "Where have I seen him before" moments

I hope that I will soon be able to return to these activities... and I swear, I'm going to give it another try tonight. Fingers crossed...
