My Brain Hurts

Literally.  Figuratively.  Subjectively.  Imaginately.  If there’s a way for it to hurt, it does.  Heck, even my hair hurts – I’ve got split ends I didn’t have 4 days ago.

 

Thanks to that darn La and fax machines.

 

La likes to get rowdy (-y +ier) in the evenings after Daddy gets home, especially if he is sitting anywhere near me.  For some reason, her favorite game is climb up Daddy’s back like a spider monkey, perch on his shoulders and LAUNCH! herself onto me.  It’s not OUR favorite game, but when has that ever mattered to a 4 year old anywhere, let alone someone like the La-less?  So, she’s playing Spider Monkey LAUNCH the other night when she LAUNCHES! just a little too hard, overshoots my arm and kicks me dead in the head, on the side I’ve had all that lovely surgical work done already.  I see stars and birdies…then I see nothing.  Next thing I know, Mike is shaking me, my finger hurts because my teeth are wrapped around it and I’ve apparently had a seizure.  And yep, it turns out it’s a concussion too. 

 

I love my youngest, I do, I do.

 

So I’ve spent the past couple days a bit wobbly and headachy – dizzy, thy name is Lynn.  The show must go on, regardless of the condition of the players, of course, so I’ve tried to carry on my work as best as I can, and luckily, one thing I can do is SIT DOWN and shop around for fax machines online.

 

Turns out after a Federal ID number and liability insurance (check and check), that’s the next thing we need to start up our business venture.  So I’ve spent this week looking everywhere online at all these different fax machines, pricing them, comparing, reading customer reviews, studying consumer reports, trying to decide if I want an all-in-one or just a fax/copier…

I’ve decided I have no damn idea.  I’m lost in a sea of possibilities.  My genius brother the IT guy says the HP 6310.  But the HP’s drink ink and it might be more machine than we need as mostly what we’ll be doing is faxing.  My parents have a simple Panasonic, but I’ve read the paper jams on those.  I like the Brother, but can’t find many customer reviews on those.

 

Help me.  I’m melting, I’m melting!!!

 

What’re you using?  What’re the pros and cons?  How long have you had it?  Is it a GOOD, FAST fax?  Does it drink ink?  Is that even what I need to worry about most?

 

I’ll visit everyone as soon as my head heals and I can stay online longer than half an hour at a time without needing a nappy, I promise!

 

Blessings!
