I hear the trumpet of angels!

I just got a call from the hubby, who says it looks like the drive can still be read! Hallelujiah! So he’s going to back everything up onto multiple DVDs, pick up a hard drive on the way home, and we’ll be back in business soon, knock wood. While we’re at it, we’re going to see how much RAM costs and maybe bump me up there, and hopefully also get a new DVD-ROM, since my old one doesn’t work reliably. It’s a real bummer when I want to put “The Muppets’ Greatest Hits” in iTunes and the drive won’t read the CD.


I’m not online much today because we picked up a copy of The Sims 2 Pets expansion pack and my daughter is busy trying to force her cats to have kittens. Also, it is apparently the funniest thing in the world when the dogs jump up on the counter and eat people food. Things that are naughty are comedy gold! Also, of course, I’m playing with her, in between cleaning, knitting, and recovering from eating some bad pasta with shrimp last night. I could do with about five more hours of sleep. (At left – you knew I’d have to find a Bernese Mountain Dog for the game! When the computer gets back, I’ll move the image to my own server, honest.)


However, the news that photos of my daughter, my Jayne list, Dragonrealms GM notes dating back to ’97, and other assorted irreplaceables are okay has made my day that much better. It’s one of those “you don’t appreciate it until you think you’ve lost it” things. Life lessons you don’t have to learn the hard way are the best.

P.S. – in the time it took me to write this post, my daughter neatly took down the curtains in her room and started playing with the curtain rings. Gonna be an interesting day!
