Results: Computer Crash
Published on 08/03/2024
My computer crashed and was down before and while my last survey was published about having bursitis in my knee. (I was unable to access Tellwut, and didn't get to thank everyone who made sympathetic and encouraging comments, which were much appreciated. I'm doing better.)
But a new survey was born.
