Just in case you are not familiar with this expression, it means BREATHE IN, BREATHE OUT.
I have been doing a lot of this today. For the first time in 9 years and 2 computers I had to do a total system recovery.
I have to admit, this is one of the scariest things I have ever done. I backed up all my data on an external hard drive, printed out my receipts with registration codes for my downloaded programs, took a deep breath and clicked that recovery button.
It is a bit frightening to think of how much of my life is on this machine. I do everything from paying my bills to chatting with my friends here. The thought of losing the ability to do all that caused me considerable anxiety. I hold my breath as I reinstall each program. Is is going to work?
So far, so good. I got my internet connection set back up, my Microsoft Money back up and running, and after a couple of heart stopping moments, my Palm Desktop software.
My monitor settings are still not quite right and my mouse is acting a bit strange. But, I have survived. I can put the rest of the programs on a little at a time.
One of my weightwatcher threadmates (thanks Marla) assures me that this is a character building experience.
She ain't kiddin'.
