At some point I mused that I’d have to stop adding things to his computer, but now is not the time for that.
Bub has a third monitor on his computer now!

In hindsight, I should have expected this to happen.

I’m not sure what happened to Bub’s new computer last night, but I wound up having to reload half of it.
I am just now finishing up loading his games back onto it with it continuing to be hooked into the modem.
In the interim, I’ve been having more episodes of strabismus that normally coincide with me being at risk for having an epileptic seizure… except for the fact that they’re not happening (when I’m conscious, at any rate), but I am having a harder time focusing my eyes on things and feel more pressure in my head that is very distinctly not migraine pain. To be honest, I’m not sure I want to make a trade-off like this given what it sounds like it could be, because even the best of scenarios for symptoms like these are worse than anything else I currently have to deal with. The eye deviations happen when my glasses are on and when they are off, and I’ve begun to notice some asychronity in my pupillary sizes as well as rapid dilation and widening when I am in a stable light source. Some days, and times, are worse than others. But still. Can I not deal with this?
I am almost done loading the new computer up!

Since I’ve taken some of the external hard drives that were on the Intel Xeon, formatted them, and put them onto the new computer as I’ve needed more space to load Bub’s games… it figures that the Intel Xeon would resume giving me shit (editing to add: okay, I got into the BIOS and fixed it, just like I have at every other point this has happened, which is just one of many more reasons why I am glad to soon be “rid” of this computer in place of the Intel Core that’s going into its place). All I have to do beyond that is defragment the external hard drives that are hooked up to this computer because they are HDD and that will make them run a lot faster, and I’ll ensure that positively everything from the old computer is backed up and on the new computer before I start the process of switching them out. That’s probably going to be the most fun part, and what I really mean to say when I write all of this out is that it’s going to be the least fun part of this.
But if I can survive the death of the more tolerable child’s father, I can manage putting a computer together.
I am continuing to set our new computer up!

The only thing that I’m going to have to do when I bring it into my bedroom (as I’m currently loading the majority of it on the kitchen table, getting files off of the old computer via USB as needed) is to… set up my streaming program, OBS, because I can’t just import the settings from that onto our new computer… as much as I wish I could. This is going to be the most fun part of the setup process, and by that what I really mean to say is the most challenging. The rest of the setup process can be done on the kitchen table though so that I can simply slide the Intel Core in to where the Xeon used to be, hook everything up via USB that needs to be hooked up, turn it on, test it, and make sure that everything works as it’s supposed to work.
I’ve been sure to take plenty of migraine medication throughout all this, and to wear sunglasses as needed.
