I asked God to teach me Patience!

So last night or better yet early this morning, sometime after 1am, my hard drive crashed. I mean completely dead, everything that was ever on there is gone. I panicked; I love that computer; I am addicted to it. That computer is my lifeline. My motto use to be, I rather be homeless with a working computer, than in a home without a computer! Sick I know, but I've been asking God for help everyday. I asked to learn patience and God said, well nows the perfect time to start that lesson!

Thanks to my friend, Becky...who talked me through my panicked state. I was prepared for this to be an expensive problem, which would have just bombarded me even more. Its like...I have so much hanging over my head at this moment, that I can't handle another expense. Fortunately, I remembered my mom purchasing an extended warranty for me a while back. I found the info I needed and called Circuit City up. It turns out that my computer is going to be fixed at no expense to me. Sure I lost everything that was ever on there, but strangely....it doesn't even really bother me the way I would have expected it to. It just so happened that nothing of major importance was on there anyway, just a ton of junk. This new hard drive is just what I need to start over. Yeah, that means starting over with my ipod too, but i'm sure thats meant to be a good thing anyways!

Its going to take 7-10 days to be fixed and then shipped back to me. So all and all, I'll be without my computer for a max of 14 days. For an addict thats a long time without nightly fixes, but I'm ready for the lesson in this all!
