Life's little trials

Only once in our 17 years of marriage have I seen the DaddyMan NOT be able to fix someone's computer.

Until yesterday. The computer he can't fix? That would be mine.

You know, the computer that has pretty much my entire LIFE on it? I had many friends that live in there, my emails, and lots of pictures. Lots and lots of pictures. You know, the ones I deleted from the memory card and stored on it? Yeah, those.

Was it backed up? Because you know, all good geeks back up their computers! Mine was backed up. Yeah, in 2009. :( My resident computer geek took out the hard drive, put it into his computer and got nothing. Nada. Zip.

So now, it's on the way to some data recovery place along with a large chunk of money they charge for the ransom of your files. Today I'll be rewriting a big portion of stuff I need for a church meeting tonight. And praying that all my pictuers come back from the abyss that is a lightning fried hard drive.
