A few months ago my boot drive died.  I thankfully didn’t lose irreplaceable stuff like my art, but I lost all the settings, fonts, and  brushes in my art programs.  I’ve been able to get things back into mostly-working order.  For a while I couldn’t even log into my site because I no longer had the password my browser saved, and the “Reset Password” email was going to an email address that doesn’t exist anymore.  But I was able to find an alternate way in.  I’ve learned some important lessons about backing things up.

But it wasn’t losing Windows that has made this page so late.  I’m still dealing with limited free time thanks to the age of my kids and a few other factors.  It’s something I’d like to fix but I don’t think it’ll be easy.  I’ll keep trying to figure it out.
