So, kids, get this: after the problems earlier today (see post immediately below), I spent 4 hours manually downloading some of the pics from Carbonite to my laptop.  I had all but the files with the most photos (Chests, Tooshies, Blogstuff, etc) already downloaded.  And then I thought....what if I do all this, and then when I turn the computer back on, it ends up like it was this morning, with NOTHING here and I have to do it all over again?

So, to test it, I shut the laptop down, left it down for about 15 minutes, and booted it back up.  And BOOM, everything was back like it was supposed to be!!!!  What the HELL???

I have no idea what's going on, but everything looks to be working correctly.  Again, I dont get it. At all.  But I'm just gonna keep working with it today, as it is.

IF however, you suddenly see me stop posting here (or the purple twitter I have, if you visit there), then you'll know the computer went tits up again, for whatever reason.

i mean, don't get me wrong, I'm glad its all back.  But I really REALLY wish it wouldn't have hiccups and farts like this earlier.  Stresses me out.

(and yes, I KNOW that's a First World Problem.  I berated myself for being upset about this while I'm in a warm home eating my lunch and not having to worry about either of those things.  Hell, I berated myself for bitching about when I OWN a computer in the first place, and many people don't.  But whatever, that;s life.....)

So hopefully, this was a one time thing....but the Negative Nancy in me doesn't think it will be...
