Making Lemonade

In the last two weeks, Fio has weathered many storms--Older Son's operation, taking an unexpected tax hit, almost losing a big check and a new cell phone,and learning Windows 7, to name a few. But she's also had wonderful things happen in the writing contests she's entered--three finals in a row.

Now comes the topper: her outgoing e-mail stopped working a couple of days ago. She can't reply to anyone or generate a new message, no matter what she does. The local computer repair store referred her to her carrier, and her carrier referred her to Microsoft Word and the manufacturer. This could be a biggie.

Maybe it means she's going to get a publication offer.
