i challenged

This post has absolutely nothing at all to do with being, or not being, gluten free but it has everything to do with why I haven't been blogging lately.
As this week draws blissfully to a close, all of my 'i' problems that have plagued me for the past two weeks seem to be closing as well. As my dependency on all things beginning with the letter 'i' increases, so does my awareness of how utterly ridiculous this is. I am speaking of my iPhone, iMac and iPad. All things 'i'. Two weeks ago my iMac began doing things it shouldn't. Things I definitely did not want it to be doing. I panicked and fretted (right Honey??!!) ) because I had never (yep, never!) backed up my hard drive and I have over 22,000 photos in iPhoto. See... another 'i'!  Every photo of the girls EVER taken... all in danger of 'poof!' going going gone! Around this time, my iPhone decided that it had had enough of being dropped, watered, gamed and texted to death and would just shut off whenever it was tired. Or angry? Thankfully my iPad is still happy and cooperating but I find the virtual keyboard just too annoyingly constraining  to use if you are long winded like I am.  And because I don't have an eternal connection to wifi (too cheap) I have to find a free spot to sit and blog. My two blogging attempts last week were coffee houses (but of course they were) but once i had ordered and squeezed into a table between two slightly smelly don't-talk-to-me-i'm-on-my-computer/phone comrades, I found out their wifi connection was down.  So I just sat and drank my espresso and wondered what the hell to do!  Walk, read, cook... no, I better sit and brood about what communications I was missing out on!

Hugh (above said 'Honey') whisked the iMac off to 'a guy' who said my hard drive was kaput  but that he could 'probably' save my photos. Probably????   Boy was it was a long week at our house!   The guy called one day and said I now had a new healthy hard drive and that my photos were comin' home!  Yippee!  Then a long lecture about backing this baby up. 'yeah yeah... i'm not stupid you know.  Oh wait, I'm sorry...what was that?  Not backing up in the first place was stupid.  Right.  Thank you.'

So apparently learning absolutely nothing from the past two weeks, I sit here in Cafe Calabria, drinking the best mocha in town and  blogging on my iPad with a still less than healthy iPhone at the ready and about to hit 'save' so i can rush home and tweak this post making it 'blog ready' on my big screen iMac.

Did i mention that i walked over here from my yoga class this morning?  Yep,  that's right!  Walked and yoga!  I'm finding a balance.  And as you would expect, I do not take any device, beyond a yoga mat, into the class.  So for one hour I am free, sane and wondering who's trying to reach me!
