Demyelinated not Destroyed

Meet Rum Tum Tugger or, as he is commonly known around my house, Tugger. Tugger is a beautiful, two year old, blue tabby/Abyssinian mix who adores playing with water. What, you might ask, does Tugger have to do with my blog about demyelinating diseases? Quite a bit, it seems. Tugger is the main reason why I have not posted in awhile.

You see, one night, I fell asleep on the couch, curled up around my laptop. I hadn’t intended to fall asleep on the couch but it has been known to happen from time to time when my fatigue gets particularly bad. I was awoken from a rather deep sleep by a feeling of being wet. After the initial confusion of waking up wet, on the couch passed, I noticed, much to my horror, that the nearly full glass of water I had on the end table near the couch had been knocked over. The river of water ran down the table, onto me, the couch, and my laptop. Who do I see swaggering away? Tugger, quite pleased with himself, I might add. Needless to say, my laptop was hopelessly fried.

I had recently done a back up of my laptop, thankfully. I didn’t lose many files because of it. I also have a back up laptop but the thing is roughly five years old. It’s barely able to run more than one program at once nowadays. With the heavy system requirements most browsers have now, getting online and staying online for any length of time with it is tricky.

I have a new laptop now that I absolutely love! It’s faster than the one Tugger killed for me, which is always nice. I’m planning on getting back into the groove of a regular posting schedule. It might be a little spotty for the next couple of weeks but please bear with me. If there is anything anyone would like to see covered in a post or any other way I can help you out, let me know!
