I was using my computer tonight to check mail after getting home from an awesome day and it locked up. I turned if off and when I turned it back on it was dead. After a call to the Apple Tech Guys - they think my hard drive died. I immediately started to cry.
Now on a good note... I did happen to back up my pictures yesterday because on the 22nd of each month this kind computer gives me a reminder to do so.
On a bad note... I'm not sure what that means for my calendar - my address book - but more importantly - all of my documents. It may mean it's all gone. I am soooo upset.
Their baptism documents came to mind immediately, all of the letters I've typed I generally save, my recipe file, all personal and professional documents - ughhhhhh. I am sure that I don't even know yet the depth of what I am missing.
The gentleman who had to be the messegener of bad news asked innocently...didn't you have your things backed up on idisk? "No," I replied, "I don't even know what that is." AHHHHH I want to kick myself.
So anyways...I don't have good access to my mac account email (I can't reply) so please email school (dupees@elmbrookschools.org) if you need anything or even better - call. I have an appointment tomorrow at the Genius bar in the Apple Store so we'll see just how ingenius they really are.
I know I need to put this in perspective - my family is happy and healthy and truly these were just things. They can eventually all be replaced. It's the memories that many of them invoked that I am feeling sad about.
Pity part now over - time to go put two awesome kids to bed.

uggggghhhh...Sarah, you have confirmed just one of my worst nightmares come true. Let this be a lesson to me once and for all to get the external hard drive that I have been meaning to get for probably 6 years. Hope it's not as bad as it sounds.
