Back From the Dead (parts 1 and 2)

Happy New Year to everyone! It’s hard to believe yet another 365 are behind us. I have been playing it pretty low key lately. I was fighting a losing battle with a cold just prior to Christmas, and then went down for the count on Christmas day. Nothing quite like an upper respiratory infection over your last days of annual vacation to get you in the festive mood! The couch and bed and I bonded quite nicely over the last week. I finally dragged my sorry ass out of bed on Friday and tried to get some vacation time under my belt before having to go back to work. Still pretty wiped here, but feeling mucho better and walking as one of the living.

And speaking of living (how do you like that for a segue?)…If you recall a few posts back found my digital camera in a sad state with a broken LCD. I had all but written it off as a goner because of the high repair cost and had replaced the camera with a new one. Then curiosity and the fact that my warranty was already shot took hold. The next thing I knew I had located a parts company out of Mississippi that carried the needed screen. One purchase, about twelve screws, and caution to the wind later I had repaired the little bugger and had a perfectly functioning digital camera. Back to Circuit City went the newly-purchased one and life was grand for a mere $61.18. I think I will try to make a flat screen TV out of my CRT television next!
