Or, “Not how I wanted to spend my Saturday”
THE GOOD
- The new hard drive was covered under warranty
- Files were backed up to an external hard drive
THE BAD
- The last backup was February 23
- How well the backup worked remains to be seen
- Nothing was retrievable from the original hard drive
THE FUGLY
- The images from Open Mic were lost, save for the video and the one photo I posted last time (because the video was on YouTube and I’d emailed the photo to Cade’s mom)
Without my laptop, I felt adrift. I consoled myself with my iPod. Unfortunately, it also crashed, at about 8:00 p.m. What are the odds that both my laptop and my iPod could crash on the same day?
And then it snowed about a foot. There was much wailing and gnashing of teeth.
The sun’ll come out, tomorrow—gawd I hope so
Today’s photo: James, about two years old, after he found a bottle of red ink and decided to investigate. When I discovered his adventure I scooped him up and put him directly in the bathtub. Then I was faced with a choice: get annoyed or get the camera. I got the camera. Today he says this photo commemorates his “first knife fight.” Because he’s such a tough guy, ya know. (I picked it because I needed a frowny face to go with my frustrating day. Pictures of James three days in a row–shameless.)

Darn it!! Honestly, what are the odds? I hope you get back up and plugged in soon.

Oh crap - how awful! Let’s hope that things look brighter today. But anyway, it’s a fantastic photo of James! I’m sure that pretty much sums up how you felt.

I hope everything can be recovered and the sun really DOES shine for you tomorrow.
