For some reason, I found this appropriate in my present circumstances:

Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way.
The time is gone, the song is over
Thought I'd something more to say.


Circumstances: my main disk went belly-up over a week ago and although I now have a reinstalled system and most of my files back, I also have a lot of reconfiguing to do, a lot of work to catch up on and a monitor that has lost most of its green. Everything in front of me is in various shades of red, blue and violet, though most of the icons are now dull orange instead of yellow.

Im sure that most of us sympathise and I for sure that you have been thrust into such miserable circumstances.
But hang on the time has not gone neither is the song over.
