Strange how things fix themselves sometimes...

Aug 11, 2007 00:16

So there's been this trend with a lot of the computer equipment that breaks on me, a lot, but not all. Sometimes when something from my computer breaks through fault of my own or just general being crappiness if I leave it alone for a long time, like a month or so, it's magically fixed. Such is the case with the hard drive I replaced a month ago. By inserting said replace hard drive into my laptop I now have a working laptop, sans (without) everything I added to it since the hard drive broke the first time. Additionally, there appears to be no errors or "bad sectors" on this hard drive which is what it had before *knock on wood*. Why or how it's suddenly working just fine is beyond me, but I am totally counting my blessings and anxiously waiting for the new one to come so I have a backup if nothing else. Sadly though, there will be no recovering the homework I was working on when my hard drive went "click, click, click, blue screen of death, reboot, 'no bootable device found'." Quite the traumatizing experience. Hope to never experience it again...

Anyway, on to other things so I can close my tired little eyes. So as you can see from my previous entry (friends only, sorry) I have created myself a ticker. What does this mean exactly? It means that I finally had one too many truly traumatizing experience to ignore my weight problem anymore. So, I have signed up for LAweightloss and now I will be starving for the next...12 months probably. Hopefully though that little ticker will show progress. Once I'm a little more comfortable with being honest about just how much overweight I am I'll make the ticker public, but until then it's little ol', private ol' me. By the way I got the money to join LAweightloss from my mother. Ugh. I would have much rather preferred that this decision be mine and mine alone as well as private. She of course then went and told my father about it. So...I cried. It didn't help that I had just had said traumatizing experience earlier that night AND it's "that time" so my hormones are making a joke out of my emotions.

Well...that's about it for now. Hopefully I'll fill out my "bio" soon and pick up some more readers. Surprisingly that's what I need most right now, people reading my thoughts and opinions and helping me make sense of them with their thoughts and opinions. I'm crossing my fingers I won't run into any problems by having an open journal that isn't friends only, but we all know that never happens.

mother, dell sucks, weight loss, journal, computer
