Meltdown

It seems, after 2 weeks of broken printer, unhappy computer, rebuilding time and no editing program, I can see the light! When it rains, it pours. Although my husband did say it was nice to have me "around the house" for a few more hours a day than normal, it feels nice that the end is almost here. It seems that PhotoShop CS2 is on its way home - right now, 9 pm on a Saturday night!
So say hello to a newly cleaned computer, a new Canon scanner/printer, Word programs that actually work for me now, AND CS2... it's the new me!
