Laptop Crashed

You know, it is horrible when your laptop crashes.  Mine did and for about an hour, I felt like I was back in the 80's.

​You see, I do everything on my computer.. I compose my blog entries in Word - gone now. I keep track of my expenses on a spreadsheet that goes into the future for one year - gone now. I downloaded my photos from my camera - gone now.

​I also do all my banking and bill paying online. This created a horrible few days for me. I had a list of all of my passwords on a Word document saved to my desktop for reference - gone now.

​I have spent the last 3 days trying to remember passwords to my emails, my bills, Facebook, grocery stores, drug stores, my bank account, my health insurance, my car insurance, and even this website. Of course, I could not remember these passwords because I have had to change them many times over the years  - hence the shortcut to the list on the desktop.

​I now have them all written down in a book that I have had for years and will not lose. I am glad to be able to communicate with you again and to pay my bills when the time comes.

​I am now back in the 21st century. That time travel to the 80's was terrifying. Now to get another laptop with my limited funds. Who knows when? Thank goodness for public computers; they will have to hold me over until????
