Oh lordy! What a rotten week. My computer took a nose dive into virus-ville last week and I was without my trusty desktop for about 4 days. It was a mean virus; a NASTY virus. One that required wiping the entire hard drive clean and re-installing everything from scratch.

Oh whoa is me!! What a miserable 4 days it was. It’s a certain kind of torture to not have your computer at home. Its different when you’re out of town, busy on vacation…but when you’re at home it’s AWEFUL.

I decided to use the time to catch up on the stuff I’ve been neglecting. Cleaned the house, steamed the bathroom, did the laundry, grocery shopping, some office errands etc. It was incredibly productive and I was feelin’ mighty good.

And then IT happened.

The warm forehead, the burning eyes, the weak and achy muscles. OMG now I have a virus. See what happens when I leave my house?

So between the two viruses (the computer is cured, I’m still in engaged battle) I’ve managed to lose an entire week of work and am none too pleased about it. Luckily my cold/flu whatever I have was not complicated by a nervous breakdown because I had all my files etc. backed up.

So as I pop another Vitamin C, take a swig of Echinacea and run a few virus scans, I remind you to get your rest, wash your hands and PLEASE back up your important files and photos. It’s worth the effort to make sure you don’t lose irreplaceable memories!

Ciao for now.
