So to top off a rather challenging year, this has shown to be technologically challenging. My current PC is most definitely dying. There is no other word to describe what is happening to it.

The set I was really keen on releasing this month has been put on hold until I purchase a new one. A bit of a nuisance as I have recently purchased a brand new electric car (my first new car ever (I feel so grown up!)), so funds are tight. But we will have to manage, I guess.
To describe just how bad my pc has become, (and this is no joke nor is it, sadly, an exaggeration):

You are tasked with typing a 1500 word essay which is due by the 29 January. You open up your document and begin typing, having researched extensivey prior to beginning, and your typing is hindered by a 30+ second pause BETWEEN EACH LETTER! The time varies and sometimes the wait is only (!) 7 seconds (my son and I counted that this afternoon), and sometimes it is over one minute. But that is what I am suffering with at the moment. 

So, the items I have waiting to complete will, unfortunately, remain that way until I replace this old (ha! It must only be 6 years old) dinosaur of a pc. It is painful. Very very painful.

In fact, right now, as I type this... with no word of a lie... I am waiting for my computer to complete a single-pixel nudge of a small item in Photoshop. That is true. It took over 40 seconds to complete. Aaaaargh.

Speak soon. Take care everyone.
