Pre-crawl Son-day

Well, the drama of recovering data off my hard drive continues. If you ever fall into this situation and need Apple to replace your hard drive but give you the old one, here's some advice. They will tell you they can't do that. Ask to talk to the next person up the chain of command. They can do it, it just causes them some problems. Explain your situation and they will do the right thing.
We are corporate tech-support, not monsters. 
While the idea of losing about the first two months of photos of Jojo and a few other hard-to-replace or unable-to-replace files is absolutely killing me, I recognize it is just stuff. Stuff is not the end of the world. I still have faith and I can get the majority of it back. This really is the biggest stressor in my life right now and, honestly, that pretty much means I live a charmed life.

Jojo gave me a great "take some perspective moment" this afternoon. I put him down after he ate and look what he did.
Pretty cool right? Make a bunch of my "problems" seem a lot less important.

  1. Yeppers. Babies and dogs are great destressors. I prefer babies and if they aren't around dogs.

  2. I just had a momentary spaz-out watching that video. I love that he responded so well when you told him to try again, and I love that you just let him do his thing, and I love how at the end he's like "Dad, I'm trying here, but man that's exhausting stuff *flop*."

    Will probably watch that 39204832 times by the end of this week. Thank you for posting. :]
