Computer Crashes

Well, this sucks. For the second time in the past six months, my computer has crashed and I have had to recover my original programming. Of course, that means that everything that I had saved on my computer got wiped out and I've had to start over locating things - like my blog - from scratch TWICE. It's not that I mind having to spend the time recreating my Favorites or re-loading all of my program files so much as it is the fact that as I get older, it's harder to remember what I lost.

Oh, I remember the big things, like my Christmas card list, and the websites that I visit every day. I talking about the crafts projects that I had been marking that marking that I wanted to try one day, and the patterns that I've been accumulating along the way. Now I have to start over again to find the ones that I want to use. I suppose it will be a good brain exercise for me to remember all of the things that I want.

Ah, well, it could be worse. It could be my brain that lost the memory instead of my computer. As long as I can still remember what it is that I want to look for, I guess that I'll be okay. I'm sure that I'll find the patterns that I want again eventually. And just think about all of the new things I'll find while surfing the web for the ones I've lost. So here's to a fresh start and the thrill of the hunt!
