Whew…. what a week this has been.

Haven’t been able to get much productive work done for several days. Life threw some interesting curve balls at me.

First the books finally arrived last Thursday and I was all ramped up to start promoting.

But the technolgy simply would not cooperate.

Friday night it was 100 degrees plus - so everyone in the area was running their air conditiors big time.

I had all 3 of my computers going on the network and “boom” huge power surge and outage.

To make a long story short - my main box - a fancy new Gateway - went bye bye that night. Nothing remained - fried motherboard. Two days of working with the best tech in Oregon couldn’t recover anything.

OK - well that iust one big reason I run multiple boxes. Redundancy.

Monday morning the unthinkable happened. Box #2 also lost its motherboard. Yikes!!

They must have both been fried by the surge - but #2 had a delayed reaction. More time with tech, at least the hard drive didn’t fry on the second one. We lost the box - but not the data.

So it took several days to get back up - recover and transfer data etc. etc. etc.

It was quite a challenge to stay in centered in joy while everything seemed to be exploding around me.

But I did…
