The Blue Lotus
Auror
I'm so very happy to report that my PC is finally back up and running.
How did it die? Well, my house blew up! Literally.
Long story short, we were at work, babysitter (my dad) is a smoker, he was out on the back porch, as smoking inside is a nope nope, tossed his butt down and the ground blew up. Taking the back wall off the floor joists!
Huge fire etc. It was an underground gas leak, on a line the gas company had been out to inspect for leaks about a weekish prior! Yeah, super NOT impressed with Consumers. I refused to pay my final bill because... they blew my house up. Told them they can take it as part of my damages due for their Stuff up.
We lost pretty much everything. However, no humans were injured. So, I will take it.
My then 3 yr old was home at the time, the worst of the fire was right along the wall where we had just days before placed his new big boy bed. This happened about 25 mins before "bedtime."
Cue a mad dash of trying to figure out wtf we were going to do now...
Almost a year later I finally got my pc to start. It wouldn't up until now.
I thought I had lost all my work on the new book. I did lose all the research and physical files. But that's ok, I was just getting into the lesser-known archeological aspects so meh. But losing all but the 3 chapters I had posted here would have hurt my soul.
The fire department apparently hosed everything, my laptop included... thank goodness it was not plugged in nor turned on at the time!
A new chippy thingy and I'm back.
We are still technically "homeless" but we are all safe. Gizmo is getting big, and he's happy. He misses the RV because we were parked on a friend's land where he had 40 acres he could run basically wild on and no one gave a crap so long as he came back when called. He got used to being feral. LOL It got cold, it is Michigan after all, that's kinda what happens so we shifted to a motel. The adults are about sick of each other, but that's to be expected when you stack atop one another like cordwood.
This year: I will finish the RD of this book and buy the property where we will be rebuilding our lives.
All things in good time!
To that end, I will be uploading all my garbage chapters here, because I really, really don't want to risk losing it all again.
Missed you all.
XOXO
