This is just wrong. This is supposed to be southern California.

Today’s been a really hard day for me. Work is . . . almost overwhelming. There is always far too much to do, and I never feel like I’m getting anything done. After my FileVault catastrophe I was given two days to accomplish one task and almost didn’t get it done. I basically had to ignore everyone for a couple of solid hours because trying to work while being available to everyone else was just too much for me to handle.

laptop was shutting down my FileVault got corrupted. I spent all weekend, aside from Friday night when Rhonda helped me not be so pissed about it and Sunday morning at church, trying to recover any portion of the data. Word to the wise: if you’re using FileVault you NEED to be making regular (read DAILY) backups. FileVault is very finicky, and it is very picky. And if you lose your FileVault disk image you are SCREWED and not even a Time Machine will help you.

Well, all of the significant events are over.

I’ve been spending a lot of time with Rhonda lately, and losing a lot of sleep as well. I don’t mind the loss of sleep though, it’s always been very well worth it. Two nights ago our relationship changed. And it’s better. Neither of us are any longer wondering what we’re doing, where this is going, or if we’ve jumped headlong into a relationship too quickly. This is what we both want, and we know that God’s lead us this far.
