I didn't leave the house yesterday at all. I dislike days like that. Makes me feel too isolated. But I had to work on a client's stuff and didn't feel like driving because I am driving 100+ miles today and probably every day for the rest of the week. I wanted to drive and save gas where I could by not driving yesterday. Made for a rather unexciting day obviously. There really wasn't anything going on, didn't talk to anyone, and didn't leave the house. I also didn't dwell in my head too much.
The only news from yesterday is it looks like I did in fact lose a hard drive and with it 7 years of pictures. I am not very happy about that. I have some of them on backup, but we are talking 20,000 to 30,000 pictures total. So far I have recovered from DVD and other drives maybe 10% of that. There are drive recovery services out there, but the first quote I got was $950. One, I don't have that kind of money and two, I don't know if half the memories are worth that much. That was one of the things I found yesterday - as I started to pull some of the files from old DVDs, I really didn't want to see some of these pictures. Yes, it would be nice to have some of them back, but others? Not really. I would say half of the files have no meaning or place in my brain any more. I will continue to see what I can and can't restore, but honestly, I am not going to die if I don't get them all back. Not the end of the world.
Time to drive.
