i just want to get away

Danny Ngan

Another sick day for me. I hadn't been feeling completely well all week despite my best efforts to eat well, drink plenty of fluids, and get plenty of rest. The bug that hit me last weekend must have mutated yesterday, because I woke up feeling like extreme crap. Light-headed, congested, general nausea -- not very pleasant at all. It probably didn't help that I was drinking on an empty stomach last night at Brews and Views, but that's beside the point. I was already sick to begin with. ;)

As if being sick wasn't enough, my Powerbook decided that it was going to be sick as well. In short, my system partition developed an error that could only be fixed by reformatting it. I spent the entire morning backing up data, cloning the partition to one of my external drives (so I wouldn't have to reinstall everything), reformatting, and restoring the system (in addition to dealing with this nasty cold). My Powerbook is up and running again, but, somewhere along the line, I managed to lose everything in my user documents folder. Nothing major was in there, just some 3rd party Photoshop actions and some general Microsoft Office things. The only semi-major thing lost was last year's TurboTax files.

To make my day more miserable, it was absolutely gorgeous outside. The sun was shining in my apartment. Fresh air was gently blowing in through my open kitchen window. And there were neat cloud patterns blowing by. It was painful.

Isn't all this bad stuff supposed to happen on Mondays? Fridays are supposed to be good days. :(
