Oh Andrea, I’m so sorry to hear about all your tribulations. I tried upgrading my MT some time ago and it created such a horrible mess I ended up just reloading the old installation on. I feel for you. I hope you can get stuff going again!
Also, a wonderfully happy birthday to you! I hope it’s a terrific day with everything going right, and you get exactly what you want!

The Obligatory Blurb
My name is Andrea and I live in Ottawa with my husband Mark and our dog Sunny who is kind of a big deal on Instagram. During the day I work as a freelance writer. I am a longtime Ottawa blogger and I've occupied this little corner of the WWW since 1999. The Fishbowl is my whiteboard, water cooler, and journal, all rolled into one. I'm passionate about healthy living, arts and culture, travel, great gear, good food, and sharing the best of Ottawa. I also love vegetables, photography, gadgets, and great design.
If you're so inclined, you can read more about me here.
