I did my upper body workout. I can see myself improving. I know, I'm still out of shape, but I can tell I'm making improvements.
That made me feel really good; I thought I was enjoying the great beginning of what would a great day.
I had spent last night transferring a Linux install from a usb thumb drive to my lap top hard drive using a program called Terabyte Unlimited. Cool program.
By the way . . . if you value your computer at all to any degree at all, make sure you have an anti-virus program (that is up to date, and not expired) and have a backup plan.
I was really enjoying my success.
Then I tried to use my laptop to install a 64-bit version of Linux to my usb thumb drive to replace the version that I just installed to my laptop.
The install DVD started "examining" the disks for some reason.
It took forever, so, I cancelled it.
And, I also seemed to cancel all the data on my laptop, too.
Lucky for me, I could just apply the disk image again.
But, something came up at work that forced me to have to do put that off until later.
I ran across several other obsticals throughout the day, but I seemed to meet them all. The day was tough, but I was coming out ahead.
I'm getting ready to come home, and then I get a call from my wife that my son fell and hurt his wrist. And, my daughter has a fever.
Both of them will be seeing the doctor in the morning.
Knowing that I'll have to spend a good deal of time and money (along with watching the kids endure great discomfort) has seemed to take some of the wind out of my sail.
Oh well . . .
