My Computer is Very Sick

blog-sick-computerI’m posting this from the boy’s computer….because mine is very sick.  It seems to be the hard drive – never a good thing.

Unfortunately, we didn’t backup in a few months.  It seems that Mr.T. is getting some of the important documents, and the pictures (I almost cried as it seemed like we wouldn’t get the pics – which have documented much of O.’s first year) onto the external hard drive.  So, that’s good.  But, there are other things he’s not able to get into to save.

I don’t know what we’re going to do.  We don’t really need this expense right now – but I’ve gotta have a computer.  Too much of my paid work is done on a computer.

But, we’re going to have to spend at least $400 – most likely more to get a new computer. At least laptops and desk tops are closer in price.  We’ve had a laptop for a long time and it’s very convenient for trying to work and chase kids.  I initially thought I’d have to compromise and get a desk top  - but luckily we’ve found some decent laptops that are in the same price range.

I dunno.

It could be soooo much worse.  It’s just a computer.  But, like many, soooo much of my life is on that machine.   At least I have the boy’s so I can get some work done.  Even if a lot of my pass-codes and documents are on the sick computer.

It’ll be OK.

It really will.
