It had to happen eventually.
My hard drive seems to have finally died. Hard. I’m writing this from my husband’s computer.
My husband will be taking it in to work tomorrow to see what he can recover. I’m just trying to remember whether I sent a copy of my Jayne kit materials to my mom for safekeeping. I’m pretty sure I did. I know I sent a “pending order” list last week, just in case. My incoming e-mails were stored on the server, which has a redundant backup, all of which is unaffected. And payments came through paypal via gmail, so that’s out there in internet-land as well as on my hard drive. I’m sure I can reconstruct the list if I have to. The hubby’s a wiz with this sort of thing, though, so I’m betting that the crucial stuff can be saved.
I’ll have to set up something to get e-mail on a different machine for now. Fortunately, I don’t think it will be that expensive to replace my hard drive. They don’t even make them as small as my current drive anymore, God bless my little lampshade Mac.
In the meantime, I remember that next on the list are two black felted purses for a woman whose sisters admired hers, followed by a Jayne hat for a 23″ head. So we’ll go from there. I don’t know how much knitting I’ll get done in the next two days anyway, since there’s no school and it’s tough to tell a seven-year-old, “not now, Mommy’s busy knitting.”
Wish me luck, both with computer and no school!
