Is there a weight on my chest?

Computer Problems, Tunic Progress and Charlotte Purls
So this last week was a sucky computer week for DH (and me too, by extension!!) First our power supply on the web server went dead, so hubby had to order a new one - which meant that our website was down for a good week (which isn't really *that* bug of a deal, since… Continue reading Computer Problems, Tunic Progress and Charlotte Purls
