Brush Fires

This happened about about 2 weeks ago : Police: Wickham Park fire is suspicious

I was across the street getting my nails done when I saw the smoke going. This park is less then 2 miles northwest of us.

Well, just found out that there is another fire & it is a bad one : Fire rages west of Wickham Road

Jackie lives not even a mile away from where it started and saw it jumped the road. Doesn’t help that the wind has been strong today. =( This is the dry season and we are finally expecting rain but that isn’t until late tonight/tomorrow.

I’m Back!

Harold worked hard, but he got my laptop back together. I got the majority of my settings taken care of. Luckily, we had back ups from Oct & Dec. Ironically I was planning on backing up everything this weekend, cuz I had a gut a feeling that something was going to happen. I had all my financial stuff backed up a day earlier, but I didn’t have my emails done and a few key things. The rest I had on the server.

Unfortunately, I did lose Angi’s email that I didn’t want to lose. I’m hoping that she sees my blog and email me.

The email that I believed that I got the virus from, hasn’t caused anyone else any problems. =( I don’t get it, all I know is when I clicked on that email that is when my laptop started acting funny…..wacky.

We are in the process of moving servers, so once we get that done I’ll probably back up everything again.

As you saw from Harold’s post, we may be moving again. =( That sucks. I really don’t want to have to pack again. I didn’t want to move until it was out of state. But we’ll survive as we always do.

I’ve gotten to the point at work, where I’m just going in, doing my job and not stress. Anything that goes wrong falls to my boss, so I’m not going to give myself an ucler over it. I have too much other stuff in my life for that………lol

Blah

I am in a pretty crappy mood lately, no desire to do any work, but I have so much work that I have to get done so that makes it worse and now today I cant seem to “wake up”. I woke up just after 8am but laid down in bed at 930am for about 20 mins but did not sleep and then at 1030am I laid on the couch for another 15 mins or so and again did not sleep so I do not think I need sleep, I think I am in just a crappy mood.

We got some somewhat disturbing news this week, I went to pay rent and asked the landlord for another years lease and he told me the owner asked him to ask us if we wanted to buy the house. I said no since honestly we do not want to own another house, and also do not want to stay in Florida any longer then 3 to 5 years and June ‘07 will be 3 years. But what upset me the most was she wanted to sell which means we either have to move before we wanted to and/or there will be a shit load of people coming and going to look over the house.

We had our house on the market for over 8 months in Indiana, and we had people looking at the house 2 to 4 times a week for almost 7 months straight and having to clean and put away all personal effects and then leave for 1-2 hours every time while people look in your closets takes a huge amount of effort which honestly I do not think we have right now. So we are at a cross road, move at the end of the lease or wait it out and see how bad it gets and then move which would be more stress.

We are on good terms with our landlord/company so I know they will be willing to find us a new place if we needed it, but even as run down as this place is; we do like living here, which makes it worse. This is a great rental, just not something I would want to own.

Last year when we had all the A/C issues the home owners brother, who owns his own A/C business was the one to do all the work, and he and I became friends, so when I heard that his sister wanted to sell, I called him (she lives out of the country) to see if he knew anything on how badly she wanted to sell and that was the first he heard of her wanting to sell. So he called her and she confirmed she wanted to sell and he told me last night he would have her contact me. (We spoke last year on other issues) Pauline and I want to know how serious she is on wanting to sell, is this something she will be “gung ho” on and try to do as quickly as possible or will she just put it on the market and see if anyone wants it.

Angi!

Ms. Angi, I hope you read this, but since I got a trojan virus, I have lost all your emails and don’t have anyway to respond. Please resend your last one. =)

Thanks!

Virus!!

Alright, I just lost everything to a trojan virus. It was in one of the group forwards that I recieve from someone. I know I got it from a certain email cuz that is when my laptop started to act funny. Now Harold has to reformat. =( I’ve lost all the work and emails that I have done for that last 3 months!

Unless you copy and paste your joke to an individual email addressed to me only, I’m no longer accepting forwards. It may not have had it when you had it, but someone in that list or on the way to who it needs to get to, it can pick it up. You may have the strongest virus protection but that is what these assholes do, they figure away to get around it.

This may be harsh, but no more. I know you send it out with love and I enjoy them, but my computer is way too important for taking the risk of getting infected just for a laugh. =(

Now a perfect day off has turned into frustration. =(

We spent the day chilling for a little while. Went to the park, took pictures of ducks and then on to the beach. I was planning on resizing those and making a gallery for posting…….but that is out…….ggggrrrr

I’m not a happy camper right now.

I lost all the music that I had downloaded. About 8 gigs worth!

And needless to say : DON’T SEND PREVIOUSLY FWD. EMAILS!!!!

This sucks!!!!

If you have emailed me and I haven’t responded yet, PLEASE resend! It is gone! =(
