But I'm sure it'll try. It's all been minor irritations up until now. Actually it started last night with...let's call it GI distress which will do me NO good when I'm strapped into and MRI for the better part of an hour today. I end up taking an immodium just in case. I get up in the morning and the radio isn't working...just not working. It'll center on all the stations but no sound.

I give up on that and go for breakfast which is about the last food I have in the house, the last two hard boiled eggs which have gone bad (how when they're less than a week old I don't know). Now it's too late for me to get anything else on the way into town.

The MRI wasn't bad except they do nothing to support my bad knee (which happens to be on the same side as the ankle I just messed up and after being strapped to a table for almost an hour is throbbing like a toothache. I go into town because it's too early for lunch after this (and I'm starving) I start walking around and in spite of it being 60+ all week today it's in the low 50's and raining.

I give up and go to the chinese buffet which I already know isn't all the good but for cheaper than any of the fast food (my only other option other than bar food). It's worse than I remember.

I survive Wal-Mart shopping on a weekend to restock the larder and get so exhausted that I come home and try for a nap (Evil LIttle Dog will tell you I don't nap unless I'm like dead sick). I lay down and every story I've ever written wants to replay itself in my head. I get no sleep so I give up.

I turn on the computer to put the finishing touches on the test I spent EIGHT hours working on yesterday and the day before while talking to mom. It's gone. My exam is GONE. Now I saved the damn thing every time I made significant progress on it. which is many times over two days. How can it be gone? Well it is, a search turned up NOTHING. It's gone. Explain to me, computer guru's, how the hell that's possible. THis computer does that from time to time. I tell mom this and she gets pissed because she bought me the computer and seems to think that because I think this Dell is a piece of shit, that I somehow think badly of her so she hangs up on me.

And this is all on top of PMS which makes me terribly depressed to start with.

And if you computer people can tell me if it's possible to somehow retrieve a file that's been repeatedly saved and somehow 'gone' I'd appreciate it.
