Moving out and in

Friday, September 05, 2008

Well, after owning a condo for 282 days, I'm finally going to move in. I have my bags packed, ready to load in the truck, which should take place this afternoon, after work. It has been a blessing for me to be able to house-sit during this time, as it's given me an 'empty' house as I fixed it up. Most of the necessities are out of the way, just 2 bathrooms to tackle as well as a finishing the heating system and kitchen counter top and floor. For now, my gas fireplace will serve me well through the winter if I can't get my HVAC system finished out. But other than that, it's pretty well done.

Now comes the task of trying to get organized after living out of a suitcase for so many years. I have many boxes filled with odds and ends from the years gone by, never before properly categorized and placed. So, though I am looking forward to moving in, I'm not looking forward to not having any more excuse for not being as well organized as I could very well be. Yeah, it's a triple negative, so you'll have to figure it out.

Today at work, I'm triyng another go around w/ my data recovery. Now I'm putting 3 (1) tb drives in my MacPro, installing Vista Business 64bit, copying all 7 images to my hd's, and running GetDataBack once again. I was able to recover some files last night, but it's not where it should be. I've been thinking it was a lost cause, but after calling the tech support, I figured I'm not done trying things just yet. Hence the re-arrangement of drives and data, hopefully be able to pull this off this time. I am getting more experienced, but not more confident! I'd much prefer 'knowing' what to do, instead of guessing all the time and trying something different after yet another failure. But I think we all can say that.
