Punched in the gut

Super great news today.

Our hard drive on our main computer is shot.

Pictures, videos, documents--all hopelessly lost.

I am the primary secretary-all of my primary organizational forms-gone.

Hours of work-gone.

The worst is that Maddie had made a video of her Philippine experience.  It included several clips of video shot of her experiences there and a montage of pictures set to awesome music.  It appears that we are not going to be able to retrieve it.  Luckily, she had posted most of her pictures to Facebook, but all of the video is lost.  I am so sick about it.

We actually have an external back up system, but because of the hard drive issue, it was not able to back up our computer for at least a couple of months.  Todd thought it wasn't backing up because I had too many photos--hah!! he was wrong!! Except, I wish he was right.

So now, I will be spending money on a new hard-drive and also spending money to ship my old (piece of crap) hard drive to California to some data-recovery business.  I am sure it will cost a month's salary for them to try to retrieve the items off the computer, but I suppose I will have to suck it up in order to preserve (hopefully) some of the post important things.

So so so frustrating.

Needless to say, it may be awhile before I am blogging again.  I have nothing constructive to say, and no pictures to post.

My life may not be worth living...

kidding...

kind of.
