The past couple days have been heck. My computer got a virus yesterday. My anti-virus software caught it but somehow it still got installed on my computer. And get this – it was an antivirus software virus. It was crazy and a big ole mess.

Last night and this morning things weren’t looking good for software/data recovery. But thankfully B’s husband S has a total computer geek friend that builds and works on computers so he was able to help S get my computer fixed. And it was all done without me losing any software or data (thank God!!!!!). The only thing I lost was 2 days worth of work.

I did learn a very valuable lesson throughout the past couple days and this ordeal – there’s no exceptions for not backing up my computer anymore. I have too much to lose to use the excuse of not knowing how to do a system backup. I’ve never been so freaked out and sick to my stomach as I was over the last couple days. Thinking that I had lost everything was the worst feeling in the world. All I can say is thank goodness I was down here when I got the virus and had someone to help fix it. S is going to teach me how to do back ups so I can start doing them on a regular basis!

And for whatever reason this whole incident just had to happen to add to all the other stress going on in my life. When it rains it pours is so true!
