The storm before the calm...

You know, It seems like there's always something that makes life a living hell right before something really good is about to happen. I'm mainly speaking about pre-surgery. My last two surgeries, FFS, both were great. I was mostly just relaxing and enjoying the time away from work. However, the week or two before the surgeries it seemed life liked to throw a few curve balls my way. I got through it, but it made me that much more anxious going into the surgery.

Now, with next week being my last week before leaving for my SRS, life is throwing some more curve balls. I already mentioned before about my tax issue, which has since been resolved. But now work is stressing me out. I worked late tonight to finish up my final project before i leave and everything is going well, until my computer shuts off. It starts back up again only to tell me that my RAID is degraded...great. Then, as it's continuing the windows bootup, it starts going into the chkdsk. Usually you can just "press any key to skip the chkdsk." but for some reason no matter how many keys I pressed, it continued into the chkdsk. So I figure what the hell, I guess I'll wait.

After about an hour, and it still saying it's fixing an error in file ~423000, I realize that I might be screwed (although I wish it wouldve waited until a couple weeks from now to do it properly :p).

Anyways, so now here I am with a deadline due next week and a hard date that I have to leave, at which point I won't be back at work for 3 weeks. Great. I'm hoping that the chkdsk actually is unfrozen and finished when I go into work tomorrow or life will really suck.

Here's to ->-bleeped-<- hitting the fan at the most inconvenient times. Cheers!

Things like that always seem to happen at the worst of times!! One time my hot water heater went out the morning I was going to leave for vacation. What can you do?? You'll get through it!! :) I hope your computers okay! Good luck!!

Just one reason why I hate computers so much! They always kick you hardest when you are either down or right up against it. I do hope you have a backup?

That's one of my life rules actually "you can never have too many backup copies!" :)

I know what you mean about the storm before the calm.

From my mid-teens onward I DESPERATELY needed/wanted SRS but it was a virtual impossibility - costs in Europe were 10x anything I could raise. Then Dr. Biber started up in Colorado and we agreed on a price I could afford - SALVATION! But it meant taveling from Ontario to Colorado  - no big deal, right?

Well it wasn't until American Immigration turned me back at the boarder twice! A little fancy stepping and I was through the third time only to run into a major winter storm in Colorado. I made it to Denver but getting to Trinidad involved getting through 35' snow drifts!

Needless to say, the day I arrived in Trinidad was a HUGE relief!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh SarahR. I am excited that your getting your day! Yes life will throw those funky curve balls and continue to do so. I am getting a procedure done in May so until then I'm hoping life is um... compliant and behaves  :)

The title of this thread to so fitting. In the last month before i head to my SRS, it feels like a storm before the calm. I'm temporarily short staffed at work, so I'm working extra since I barely have any of my employees there, plus it kind of feels like all the body issues I've lived with the last 30+ years are coming to a head, and time will just not pass quick enough. I'm not typically a high stress person, but I have totally felt that way recently. I'm really just trying to calm down and relax, and hope the next four weeks pass quickly. I'm sure it will be here before I know it, but right now it's hard to think that way. I think it's just that something I have wanted for as long as I can remember is getting closer, and I am so ready to take that step that I wish I could just do it tomorrow. But, if I can just relax it will be tomorrow before I know it.
