My World Came Crashing Down Around Me Last Night
Last night I thought my world was coming to an end! I was working on a new website for someone and I made a HUGE error when transferring all the files. I actually sent the latest version of Wordpress to THE ALOPECIAN MUSE by accident. I still have an older version, so the new version wiped everything out. I couldn’t believe I did that. I was mortified. When was the last time I backed up my site? UH…when my very good friend (who, by the way saved my ass last night!) showed me how to back it up.
In a panic and while not thinking clearly I called her crying. I thought I had completely erased four months of work. Poof, it was gone. Well, being the Master Jedi that she is, she was able to poke around and she found the data base. I didn’t wipe it all out.
I tried to sleep but I couldn’t. I tried to do anything to get my mind off the fact that I totally fucked it all up, but it just gnawed at my brain like a rabid, blood thirsty rodent. My stomach was in knots and I felt like I was going to throw up. I got back online last night and there was my friend making everything better. I had all kinds of shit running through my head last night. I wanted to just give it all up and say screw it, I’m no good at this stuff! (That wouldn’t be far from the truth either).
I feel the picture on the left best describes my state of mind last night. I felt shocked, naked, exposed and totally alone. That is until I talked to my Master Jedi! She definitely calmed me down and brought a lot of encouragement to me. I am so glad to have her in my life.
Today I felt that all was right in my world again, and to sweeten it just a little more, my husband called this afternoon to tell me that we hit our first goal amount of money to get him home! I want to thank everyone who gifted us with your generous donations. We are still around $1,000.00 short, but as of today we are half-way there. Tomorrow he will be putting his notice in and he will be here in New Mexico with us in four to five weeks…for good!

Great news about your husband!
And don’t worry, I’ve crashed my websites lots of times.
