I can't think of a better way to say it, computer viruses stink!
And the people who create them, well they are just mean!
I'm still dealing with the consequences of a malicious virus that
encrypted EVERYTHING on my computer. It's pretty much the worst possible virus and sadly there is no easy fix. I now have my computer back with a new hard drive and my old hard drive has been shipped off to a data recovery center with the hope that my pictures can be restored. Keeping my fingers crossed!
Virus protection will not save you from this virus, so PLEASE be sure that you are backing up your computer regularly. I now have an external drive that is programmed to back up my files every night while I sleep.
So, I've had an unexpected four week blog break. I used my phone to check in now and then, but that's about it. And guess what, I found it kind of refreshing and liberating to be unplugged. It wasn't life altering or profound, but it just felt good to catch my breath again. I highly recommend stepping away from the computer every now and then. You'll be surprised how good it feels!
So in a nutshell, here's what I've been up to the last few weeks .....
First I took out my frustration by cleaning the house and garage from top to bottom and that felt really good!
We took road trips three out of the last four weekends, cheered for our favorite team and played in the snow!
Sweet Clare celebrated her 1st birthday!
And discovered the joy of cupcakes!
I got my Christmas decorating done in three days flat, a new personal record!
And this past weekend, I celebrated my birthday with my favorite piano man!
Now I'm actually looking forward to getting back on schedule and seeing what you've been up to lately. Our Be Inspired Link Party will be back first thing tomorrow morning. I hope to see you there!
