heartbreak all around
My Mac Air crashed. Again. It happened in May and I had to have it wiped. They are clearing it again as I write.
GAH!
I still don't know what all I lost the first time. Luckily no writing. But there were pictures that are gone forever now. This time I hadn't saved much on the hard drive, except for a very productive day's worth of revising which has left me very bummed. Needless to say I will be obsesively backing up from now on.
They're replacing the hard drive this time. I hope it solves the problem. Luckily it's still under warranty. I'm pretty freaked out about the warranty running out in Sept.
I wanna love Macs, but I never lost anything on my PCs.
Other randomness:
Darling Daughter is at a camp for kids with cancer this week. I know it's going to be a life-changing experience for her. I'm so excited she's doing it, but it's also given me a taste of what it will be like in the fall when she goes to OR.
DD and I are finally entering that wonderful stage where we can really be friends. We share a lot of personal stuff and I'll miss having her to talk to. Thank heavens for Skype.
I've decided my sadness at her leaving is selfish, though. She's going to have a great experience and will grow a lot. We want our kids to have their own lives and be successful, aferall. The sadness is for what I'm losing, and that's something I'll just have to deal with and think of as a necessary (albeit painful) sacrifice for her gaining independence.
Wee One and I have found ourselves spending more alone time together. Do I have to tell you that losing one daughter is making me truly appreciate the time I have left with the other one?
Hope you're all enjoying the summer as it flies by.
