Time Sink.

Somehow, computer maintenance and desk clearing are ginormous time sinks! But at least there is visible progress in the stacks of papers and stacks of files - though I still have some software issues.

There's been some tweaking of things in the shop background, where there have been occasional malfunctions in the past. I hope I have made things better and not worse - if they do turn out to have gotten worse, I might have to do a fresh install and see if I can have everything run smoothly again. Though I very much dread this...

A similar thing is looming over me for my computer as well. For a good while now, the system (Windows, of course, like almost everyone uses) has managed to self-digest some crucial bit deep in its innards, so there's trouble with the updates and there's also trouble with the machine telling me it does not have an authentic copy of Windows. Yeah. Thank you very much, you do. Having had Microsoft Support take a good and proper look at it did, unfortunately, not help at all - the only solution they were able to offer me, in the end, was a custom install, which means I'll have to re-install all my programmes afterwards. Sigh. At some point in the near-ish future, I will probably do this.

And hope that everything will go nice and smooth again afterwards!
