Sunday, Dec. 26, 2021 – A Frustrating Computer Day

Hey Babe,
Another good night sleep, then after chores I started working on trying to match up email addresses with real people on my OTL list. What a nightmare! I was very glad that I had sent a hard copy of the list to Anita last week, so after trying unsuccessfully to rearrange the names is some fashion that might realign them, I finally decided to do it manually, so I spent about four hours realigning them all manually. Just when I thought I was finished, I discovered that I had failed to print one of the pages, so I started to try to do that, and had a glitch which made me have to reboot my laptop, and when I tried to open up the database again, it said the entire file was corrupted and wouldn’t open! Talk about frustrating! I was nearly in tears, but once my mind cleared, I remembered that everything backs up on Carbonite, so I quickly stopped all backups and went into the Carbonite file and discovered that I still had yesterday’s copy, yay! At least I hadn’t lost anything, and I figured I would have to redo all the work I had just completed, but then, when I opened it up, all the addresses were back where they belonged! Sure wish I had thought of that sooner!! Would have saved me all that trouble doing it manually. It’s not 100 percent, but what little is left is nothing compared to what I would have had to do. Whew! A wasted day, but at least I’m back where I started, which is a huge improvement! Since that took most of the day, I then took some time to start putting stuff away since we’re moving on tomorrow, then we had a nice steak on the grill again, then settled down for the evening. It’s early yet, but I’m planning on getting to bed early after my shower, so I can read for awhile. Glad to see the back end of this day! Good night, sweetie! Love you!
