PC-cution complex

Trying to clear my head tonight.  I’m having the worst computer troubles.  First my printer died, then the USB hub I bought didn’t work.  My dad and his IT buddies decided the PC needed a complete rebuild.  So I’ve spent the last week or two rounding up files to reinstall programs, copying down settings and serial numbers, all that crap.  The final step was to be putting the whole lot onto a backup disc.  I did that this afternoon.  It took over 3hrs.  Then it told me that "some files" hadn’t backed up properly.  Yeah?  I looked at the list… it was HUNDREDS of files!  Three or four whole directories, including the one with all the programs in it.  No reason or solutions given.  It’s enough to send a girl round the bend. 

Well, at least for a little while there I wondered if the backup program personally disapproved of my files.  But I’m okay.  I’m taking deep breaths and I’m becoming calmer by the hour, trust me.  The computer woes started before the Mercury retrograde, so I’m resisting the temptation to put it all down to that.  Besides, this is the third thing that’s gone wrong, so hopefully it’ll be the last. 

My health was improving wildly for a while, then it crashed again.  Everything in my life is frustrating.  Sometimes I wonder how much real progress I’m making, in any area of my life, and how much running on the spot I’m doing.
