The Ubrupt End

Well folks, sad to say, this is the end. Back around the beginning of July I had a very bad thing happen. You see, I had been contemplating back-up strategies, and had decided to go with Carbonite. Unfortunately when I went to download and install it I discovered that my internet was down (again). Two days (and still no internet) later, my H Drive, on which was stored my entire My Documents folder, crashed. I waited this long to tell you all about it because I was hoping to find a relatively cheap data recovery service. I did find one, but I'm looking at a minimum bill of $1000, which means I've put the hard drive aside for the moment and will have it restored after the next 4 VERY expensive months. I'm a mother of three, so let's see, school, halloween, halloween parties (2 because my two youngest can't go to the scary one I hold for the older kids), thanksgiving, christmas shopping, christmas parties... Do I really need to say more?
