Plans have been changed

I had wanted to kick off a new year of journal entries with a bang, doing my review of 2008 on the 1^st and then burning through the year daily from there. However, somehow my main computer picked up a nasty trojan horse - the type of malware popping up fake alert windows claiming it is actually an anti-virus program while keylogging your credit card number. Since I couldn't remove the infection myself, I ended up taking my computer in to the "Geek Squad" this evening to see if they can fix it. Already over $200 in the hole, I'm hoping to have a usable desktop computer again by next week (and not have to pay any more money in the process - money I don't really have, mind you).

At the moment, my only forays online are happening through my laptop. This is going to be a very long, sucky week.
