Had a bit of a meltdown Friday – well, I didn’t have the meltdown. My laptop did. I use it a lot – apparently the hard drive decided I had overworked it.

Not quite the blue screen of death, but I began getting red x messages telling me “can not find hard drive.” WHAT? I know it’s there. Where is it and why is it hiding???

Of course, hubby’s first thought was I might have picked up a virus . . . again . . . or that the old one I got awhile back had a little worm attached and my computer guru had not found it.

So, we called said guru and took the laptop in Saturday morning when he opened. He thought he could get it back to me same day, but when his closing time rolled around and I had not heard I resigned myself to waiting patiently . . . yeah, hahahaha.

First thing Monday morning I had to take hubbymoose back to the wound clinic. (side note: the original sore had healed and he was released from their care last week – unfortunately, he developed a new and bigger blister in a different place so we are going back on a weekly basis.) We drove by the guru’s shop, but he wasn’t open yet.

Took our time – went to the post office – dawdled around – then went back to pick up puter. Hard drive was all that was wrong, so I have a shiny, new one, bigger, better, faster. Yay! And my files were saved, too. Yay again! Thanks, Soldotna Computer!

I have to reload some software, but that is a minor thing. I’m going to check out some backup websites to protect future files. 🙂

Have a great day, everyone.
