Today has been the worst day I've experienced in a long time.
First the hard drive on my main computer crashed.
I had a second hard drive, which had SOME stuff. Not everything, but at least some stuff. I MOVED that all to my external hard drive. I went with "move" instead of "copy" because I wanted to be able to pick up where I left off, etc. since it was 440 GB. Copying that much takes a while, and in case it couldn't read some file (or some other excuse) I wouldn't want to have to start over. So I MOVED the files off that 1 TB hard drive.
But the worst thing happened when I unhooked the external hard drive and DROPPED IT 3 feet onto my desk, from the shelf it was on. Now I can't access it. I broke it.
All I have is a backup DVD I made on 3/11/19. Some files I have to go back even further... to 1/14/19.
I know, I'm stupid for not backing up to DVD more often. With hindsight I feel such regret right now. I feel awful; I feel like I'm being punished.
That external HD was a big part of my routine backups. I wouldn't expect to lose 3 hard drives in one day -- but I just did.
Worst. Day. Of. My. Life.
Please pray for me.
I know it's pathetic, but a huge part of my life is on the computer. It's my full time job. It's my side business #1, #2, #3, etc. I spend a lot of recreation time there, etc.
It's like my whole office burnt to the ground.
I know I have to "let go" of most of it, and most of it probably isn't a big deal. But I feel like I've just been shot in the gut.
