The unthinkable happened, the thing that I even stopped fearing could happen — the draft of my Grandmother book is gone… I know, you think because nothing dies in the internet that it is out there somewhere, but it never left this computer, and in particular WordPress, and it is not in either of those places. I Know that I saved the draft… I KNOW that I did…but I guess I didn’t. That was about 3200 + words—three thousand two hundred plus — it made me kinda sick when I made the discovery. I guess I have to start over, but I really liked what I wrote. New Beginnings…
While I’m complaining, I must say that last week was very disorienting…with New Years Eve on a Monday, holiday on Tuesday, it felt to me like Wednesday was really Monday and if it hadn’t been for Olivia’s piano lesson on the usual Saturday, I’d still be thinking it’s Friday… And the weather didn’t help — we didn’t see the sun for a couple of those days, whichever they were. I never thought I would look forward to a Real Monday so I can pass the dementia quiz.
Today definitely feels like Sunday, though, and the sunshine is beckoning me to bundle up and go outside. I will get to the words later…
Peace
Oh no! Losing words is the worst, although I’ve found that rewriting from memory is an opportunity. Not one I want often. I have an external hard drive, flash drives, two PC’s and a cloud account. And I use them. Even so, I lose things too often. Grieving with you!
