It all started Monday morning, when all of a sudden, as I was surfing the net working on my computer (a Mac) at home, the hard drive froze. Nothing I did could bring it back to life. So I took it to the Mac repair facility, where I was told the hard drive was no good. And I hadn't backed up all my data. Fortunately the repair was covered under warranty.
Then there was the email from Becky which I alluded to yesterday, about changes to the quality policy manual at work, which hopefully has been mostly resolved. Becky, after confirming with PCC, has agreed to put all the changes in the export manual we already have.
Then yesterday I pissed Becky off, because I was in a hurry [to go home], and screwed up two planning documents which the shop needed, so they'd have something to work on today. (I was hoping to stop by the hospital early enough to get the results of my monthly blood test before the end of the day, which didn't happen.) Becky fixed the error, but she shouldn't have had to since it was just carelessness on my part. Still she does share some of the blame, since she didn't get me the documents when she should have.
All that though was pale in comparison to what happened on my bike ride this morning. The click in my bike, which I thought I got rid of for good about two months ago, returned. I had to turn around early, as the clicking was driving me crazy. I ended up only doing about 26 miles. Hardly worth getting up and dressed for.
But alas, the news hasn't been all bad!
My blood test results were waiting in my email box when I got home this morning, and my platelets stopped falling. The platelets jumped back up to 179 thou/mcL (from 158 thou/mcL last month), and my WBC, although back up to where it was 2 months ago, was still below 100 thou/mcL. Everything else remained about the same.
Plus, my nephew was able to recover all the data from my fried hard drive, saving me $109, which is what the Mac repair facility wanted to charge to back it up for me. So I sprung for sushi.
I returned the bad hard drive to the Mac repair center, and I should have my Mac back by Friday, which will be a real relief [I hate my PC]. They wouldn't let me keep the hard drive, nor would they order a new one until I brought it back. It seems since it's covered under warranty, Apple requires the defective parts to be returned to them.
Oh and we also signed the final documents completing the refinancing of our house, which will save us about $100 per month. We'll need that to pay for health insurance. :)
Now if I could only solve the problem with my bike, I might start thinking things were looking up, and that would really be a change.
