confused

i haven't posted for awhile because i was sick in early march and suffered a loss of energy, then spare time was an issue. well saturday a.m., i was so excited because i had computer time and i couldn't log on to my dashboard. bummer.i'm adding this at work (for shame) and hope my problem is solved and when i get on my own pc everything will be okay.
