i should have listened to nick. well, it's not that i didn't listen to him, i just didn't prioritize his request as i should have. he kept telling me, "we need to get another hard drive. we need an external hard drive. we need another hard drive." and i kept saying we'd get one, b/c i knew he was right, and then i'd let things like bills and groceries, and dinner and movies, get in the way - and now, our hard drive has crashed and all the videos of lola during her first year are gone.
drew came up with the idea of freezing the drive to see if we could get a few minutes worth of it working to get data off it. so we'll probably try that. if that doesn't work, then maybe next year at tax time we'll send it off to one of those data recovery services so they can recover it - but that's like $300 - and with a baby, you have better things to spend $300 on than data recovery on a friggin' hard drive. i keep telling myself that our parents didn't have video of us at that age - and that helps some, but doesn't make it better.
i want to be a stay at home mom. i want to walk out of here and never look back and stay home with my poo girl (she's better btw. still runny poo, but NO fever at all, and playing and eating, so she's cool). i daydream about getting fired so i can draw unemployment and stay home with lola. that wouldn't work tho b/c we couldn't pay bills if i only brought home unemployment (b/c that's NOTHING).
speaking of work. back at it.
