I recently took some time off to "get away from it all" and returned hoping to get back to work. Unfortunately I was to discover I had additional work to do. I returned from a vacation(another entry) to discover my computer in disarray. I attempted to regain my settings and information to no avail. I was left with the task of trying to rebuild from scratch.

I spent about 4 days rebuilding my databases and computer security, although there are some things that cannot be recovered. I know I should have had some backup. But with limited financial resources I can barely keep things running much less spend on things I cannot afford.

I was planning on upgrading a few of my memberships when I returned with money I had been saving. That dream was taken away by another misfortune, when  the alternator on my car decided it had enough. I replaced the alternator along with 2 belts. For the last 10 years it seems everytime I turn around something happens to pull me under or at least keep me from moving ahead.

 This was the second time in less than a year I have had to reinstall my systems. It wastes too much valuable time and resources to be doing this sort of thing that regularly.
