Life is not perfect; we all know that.  But some days are so much less perfect than others.  Yesterday …well let’s just say I am glad it’s behind me …I think.  It was a bad day… I woke up with a migraine, which should have been some sort of sign.  The house was a wreck because it is spring break and we are trying to reorganize and clean.  Boxes, trash bags, and plastic storage bins everywhere.  And, dust and pollen everywhere.  And on top of all that, my computer — the one containing half my life, calendar, important e-mails, websites, etc. – (yes, the one the screen died on a month ago) has completely died… taking all my passwords, configurations, and files with it to the grave.  The “blue screen of death” death.  Can’t even boot up in “safe mode” death.  Can’t even boot with cd death.  Done.  Toast.  Less than 2 years old.  Dell.  Did I mention migraine?

I had backed up about 80% of the files on an external hard drive, but not my e-mail. So, I have spent the bulk of last night and this morning trying to recover all that I didn’t have written down in my notebook  — including about 12 e-mail accounts and their various configurations for Windows mail (yes, I have had to stoop to commandeering my son’s computer to receive e-mail).  What a headache… did I mention migraine?  Make that a double!

So I apologize in advance if I seem absent in the near future …but at least you’ll know why.  And any prayers you want to send my way for brain power to recall lost passwords, for computer miracles, for headache relief, etc., would be much appreciated.  

Romans 8:28  “And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose.”  OK, Lord… I’m just going to have to trust You on this one.
