I killed the computer again last night. Deleted too many files. The wrong files. Now it won't finish loading, just sits there, wallpaper staring at me, no "start" button, no way to get to anything.

So I have to install a new operating system after all. I will lose some stuff but I don't think anything that is impossible to get again somehow. Or live without.

Why now? I wonder why I do these things, mount up the stresses.

I'll feel better tomorrow. The workshop will be over and I may actually be in jury duty, which would be relaxing.
