Having no computer. Yes folks, today my computer crashed. First day back in Denver. No car, no computer. Here is what is the worst about all of this - I back up my computer monthly (read into this people - this is obviously not my first computer crash). So I have plans to wake up Sunday morning, take out my zip drive and save all my files, pictures, presentations, etc. to my zip so that I can feel protected.
NOT TO BE DONE. I turn on my computer and all I get is a blank screen and a very loud beeping noise. I try everything to figure it out, no luck. So I end up taking my church time to head to Best Buy to figure it out with the Geek Squad. Looks like the motherboard is fried.
I am so sad for so many reasons. First I have been in Florida (as I have mentioned a thousand times already) for 3 weeks which means I have missed 2 Sundays of church. I love my church and my friends there, so I was bummed to miss them (hi church friends - see you Thursday). Second, I work from home on my computer. All my emails and documents are on that computer. Also, I have 3 separate email accounts that all merge into one Outlook account which is now gone also. No worries though friends, for $150 I am getting it all that backed up in 3 - 4 days. Lucky me.
What's worse, I woke up at 6 this morning to get all organized after being gone for so long. I figured I could do all the things I need to do (take a walk with the dogs, ride my bike to Safeway and get breakfast so that Rich and I could eat together before I head off to church, do some yard work). Well, the dishwasher broke (or so I thought), the dogs were a total wreck on the walk, the hot water heater was off so I took a cold shower and I had to scarf down breakfast in order to get out of the door on time. Also, I had a wedding shower to go to after church for a friend getting married in 40 some days and I had to cut that short so I could go buy another computer.
So - here comes the honest to goodness truth I promised ya'll when writing this. I literally had an emotional brake down and cried to Rich on the phone in the Best Buy parking lot. I was crying so hard that I had a headache for about 3 hours later.
Geez, what does a girl need to do to have a wonderful, church filled, girls shower Sunday??????? If anyone knows, please share.
My hope and dream - each of you had a wonderful Sunday, filled with only good friends, good family and good times. Good night.
