So where have I been the past week?
Let me count the places.
1. To work, one week ago today. When I shut down my
computer, put it in the car to take home, and then tried to start it up again.
Except it wouldn’t. Start up again.
2. To the Apple Store. Right away. To get those experts to figure out how to start
my computer again. Except they couldn’t. Figure it out.
3. Home. To cry. Real hard. And to somehow collect my
thoughts and try to reconstruct the two manuscripts I had already started and
that might have been lost on my crashed hard drive.
4. Back to work to grade papers. Lots of them.
5. Back home to try to be a mom to my kids and a wife to my
husband.
6. Out to dinner with said husband. We tried a new place in
the next town over and ohmygoodnessyum!!! Best meal I’ve had in a long time. A
highlight of my otherwise pretty terrible week.
7. Back to the Apple Store to collect my now-fixed computer.
And to realize that God had mercy on me, yet again. Everything was restored.
Everything.
8. Back to work to deliver said papers to my students. “But
Mrs. Wildman, I know I’m a good writer!” My head hurts.
8. Back home. . . .
You get it.
Don’t you?
Wow! What a week! I grew up in LaGrange and will be visiting soon... do you mind sharing the name of this wonderful restaurant? We're always looking for a great new place!
ReplyDeleteHi Stephanie. I tried to send an email, but you have a "no reply" on yours. Anyway, the restaurant is Bistro Monet in Glen Ellyn. Here's their website: http://bistromonet.com/. If you go there, you HAVE to get the short rib ravioli as a starter. Oh my GOODNESS! I have never tasted anything so delicious. Let me know if you go there!
ReplyDeleteAnd also, my mom grew up in La Grange! Small world. :)
So glad that you computer is fixed. What is up . . . do college students really think they know more than you . . . :-).
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to seeing you soon.
Fondly,
Glenda
Oh my goodness Shelly!! So thankful that everything was restored. LOVE YOU!

Oh yes. I get it. So glad your hard drive was restored!!!!!
ReplyDeleteAnd also? Kids these days . . .
Your comments are making me laugh. Thank you!!! :)
ReplyDeleteHey girl! So sorry to hear of your computer adventures--not the right kind, huh? More of the plain old inconvenience kind!
ReplyDeleteAnd Mrs. Wildman, I'm sure those students are really good writers. No doubt their grammar is flawless!
Take care of yourself, dear friend!
Phew...so glad your computer was restored! Stressful!
ReplyDeleteI found you through Emily Freeman. I am so thrilled for you that everything was restored! What a beautiful picture of a loving and redeeming God!
