Computer Crashed

On Thursday night (Aug 21) I came home and tried to boot my computer so I could get some work done and was devastated when I realized my operating system had crashed! I know I depend on my computer way too much. AND, even though I know much better, I had not backed up my pictures or data for a very long time. As I write this post, I still don't know if that stuff will be saved and I am sick! I took it to the "computer hospital" and haven't heard anything yet. If I had been keeping up on my blog, at least I would have had some of the pictures posted with stories. Since dad became so ill and passed away, I have had a hard time wrapping my brain around anything but just the necessities of day to day living. It is so hard to explain and I won't even try. Maybe because my computer crashed, I have realized that it is so important to record the important events in my life and to share even the simple things, too! I have been working through my grief and as each day passes, it gets a little easier. There are so many things that have happened this summer that I don't want to forget about. I am making a pledge to myself that as soon as I get my computer back and hopefully the pictures restored, I am going to do better to catch up and keep posting for my history. It is important to me and maybe someday will be really important to my posterity.
