Bad Moment

I had a very bad moment this evening when my power cord seemed to go entirely. The batteries have been dead for weeks, so I can only use my laptop when it's plugged in. I did some lighting rearranging and switched the outlet it was on, and it up and died on me. It's fine now, but it gave me a bit of a scare.

I'll be back in the US in under three months. All I'm asking for myself in those three months is that neither my computer nor my left kidney die on me. Collecting adequate data would be a nice bonus, but I don't want the universe to think I'm getting too greedy and design some new punishment to smack me down. Not that I'm paranoid or anything: just cheerfully aware that disaster lurks around ever corner.
