DEVESTATION

I think the subject of this post is the only word to describe how I am feeling. You might be wondering how a photo of my laptop could bring me to such a heavy word and also to tears yesterday. The answer: I dropped it. Yep, I wasn't being 100 percent careful and it fell out of my hands while moving it from the counter. I was especially heartbroken because all the photos of Mae since her birth are stored on the computer. And NO, we haven't backed them all up.

This morning I went to the Apple store hoping they would be able to deliver me a bit of good news. I explicitly told the man if he wasn't able to tell me that the photos were retrievable I would cry in front of him. I knew in my heart of hearts that the computer was beyond repair. It does turn on, there is just a blank screen.

The Genius Bar attendant told me the news I had been hoping. The data is retrievable but the computer is beyond repair. I guess you win some and you lose some and there are other times that you win and lose.

Now on to shopping for a new computer. Suggestions welcomed!
