Wandering Aimlessly

Bah. My computer went kablooey. Kaputz. Pffffttzzz. Yeah. Basically, the hard drive died. The hard drive that is not even four months old yet. I lost everything. Like, all of it.

My wonderful, happy Sims. Gone. I'd built some beautiful and complicated houses. I had relationships that were a LOT of fun. Children had been born and raised. They were all so comfortable with each other that they'd do crazy, fun things on their own, like make out spontaneously. It's all gone (gone!).

That's the thing I was most upset about, my Sims. I also lost some pictures and things, but I think I can find most of it on the web here or there. I'd made some backgrounds and icons, most of which are gone, but that's okay, I suppose.

The good news is, I had the hard drive reinstalled today, got my outlook reconfigured, reinstalled PSP, and I have a new year worth of free Norton Antivirus. This is good. ;)

I had saved a lot (a lot) of "important information" in my Outlook, however. Such as phone numbers and addresses. Carolyn, yours is the one that comes to mind as something I had never transferred to my paper address book. Could you please email me your address/phone number again? T'would be muchly appreciated.

That's how I spent my day off today, though. Ran some errands (got gas, got my car washed, mailed off some things at the post office that had DESPERATELY needed to go out, went by the bank), then got a call that the computer guy was at my house waiting for me. He was SUPPOSED to call to set up a time, but did he do that? No. He just went to the house, without warning. So I raced home to meet him, and basically spent the rest of the day getting my computer back up and running.

So much for a day off. At least it was productive. I haven't cleaned my room yet, though, and the cleaning lady comes tomorrow. Bah. Don't want to clean.

I did get to talk to Heather for a long time today on the phone, which was wonderful. MISS my girls. Lots and lots.
