Computer Woes!

Or rather: Modem Woes!
I'm still here in Houston, but the way things are going for me I'm trying to get out of town ASAP. We had a severe thunderstorm on Saturday and a bolt of lightning fried one of my TV's and, alas, the modem of my computer.
So here I am, taking advantage of the Public Library, my tax dollars at work, and I think later today I'll go shopping for a laptop.
Daisy and Niki are ready to get back, too, it's been too rainy to even go to the dogpark, not that they would mind the mud but I would!
And the lampworking is not going real smooth either, yesterday I was discouraged but then, this morning, I came up with a few color combinations that are working, so I'll play some more!
I should be back at my cabin by Friday, sure hope everything is ok there!
