My Labor Day Weekend was not Relaxing as I Planned!

My poor computer was not behaving nicely, so I found someone who could take a look at it.  He found that my hard drive was ready to crash - :(  Not what I wanted to hear!  I had tried over and over to save all my files and emails with no success - I was stressing! Majorly!  I have thousands of emails saved with Books and Products to review, correspondence with authors and publishers, friends and family - how was I to handle it if I lost it all?

Well, he was able to find and replace my hard drive, save and restore  nearly all my data and in less than 24 hours!  Amazing!  And he saved me tons of money too!

Then, just when I thought things were looking up!  Our basement started flooding - YES, we have had rain for 3 days, so we thought that was the problem - well, partially it was - BUT, our sewer line was clogged and was backing up into our basement.  My wonderful, ingenious husband rigged a temporary fix while we waited for the Plumbing company to come fix it for us - seems they were quite busy this weekend and could not come right away.

Finally, they showed up today, and after 2 hours of work - Darn those Tree Roots!  We have our plumbing working correctly again!  Now I can finally do my dishes, get my laundry caught up and flush my toilets! LOL

Some wonderful things that happened during all this:  My son helped his dad with the basement and learned quite a bit.  My 2 girls entertained themselves and each other, and thought it was an adventure to have a watery basement - lol  And in spite of it all, we worked together to fix problems, and solutions were found!
