Tech is NOT my friend!

Over the years I've worked up a rather huge collection of droolworthy material on my various harddrives. It is mainly of certain gorgeous men that I've been watching on TV (Boreanaz, Clooney and Padalecki) - Not to toot my own horn, but yeah I loved my collection. There were pics and various vids for every moment in my life that needed a little visual enjoyment/pick me up

However now. It's all gone... All that remains is the small collection I'd saved to my laptop because our network harddrive has died, and I had moved all my fangirl items to that one basket. ARRRGGGHHH!!!

It's bad enough that most of my digital music is also gone - that's something I can get back faily easy and there might be some of it stored on Boyfriend's computer and my iTunes buys were all stored locally, but we're also talking about videos from WAY back - like video files from the OLD original Buffy the Vampire Slayer website! Gone! Videos from ER.. Gone... Random tvclips connected to any of my TV-fave-men... Gone...

I know it's just stuff. That I shouldn't be this upset, but it's making me really sad to know that something I've actually spend time on and actually sorted through and put in specific folders and such is just gone. If it wasn't for the fact that I would actually feel a little ashamed of myself I would actually be crying because of it. I have one tiny glimmer of hope and that is that I maybe didn't erase the files from the VERY old hard drive where I originally stored them. It's pretty much a hail mary pass and I actually don't have a lot of faith in it coming through.

Another victim of this death of Tech is my Supernatural playlist - or at least the part of it that were the songs from seasons 6 and 7. ARRGGGHHH! And because of the whole megaupload crapfest I can't just get it back from where I originally got it, so I guess I'll have to go find them one by one like back in the day when I build up my BtVS song lists. Oh crap I'd forgotten I'd lost that as well!

I now have a somewhat functional left ankle. I'm doing what I can to get it better including having actually bought one of those balance board thingys which Her Highness thinks is a HOOT and half! I've actually thought about getting one for a while because my right ankle has been wonky for over a decade and also there was the sneaky plan to maybe have Princess I use it too and thus inprove on her balance as well. See I can be sneaky too!

In any event I'm mobile again. Or that is, more than I was a month ago though it still sometimes acts up and yeah there's the whole wrist issue. Really through this all the wrist has been the 'worst' part has been the wrist and the fact that I only have limited use of my right hand. I've gotten a brace for my wrist and it's helping but it's still a work in progress.

Oh well, this too shall pass, and at the moment I'm just happy that I'm not a practicing archeologist. It's the one thing I've always been told and have kept in mind: if you want to dig for a living; take great care of your wrists and knees! seems that's ship has sailed. I''ve been told it can takes months for me to get fully back to normal, so I'll just have to wait it out I guess. So here I am, being patient LOL. No really I can do it!

Another big change in our lives is the fact that Her Highness is now in Kindergarden! To say that I was worried about it and that I had moments of angst about it would be an understatement. I turned into one of THOSE parents in the days leading up to her starting and on her last day of DayCare I really had to work hard NOT to cry as we said goodbye. Her Highness though.... Oh Gawd! She has once again shown that she is 15kg of pure strenght! She has ROCKED the transsion. I had feared that we would spend the first many weeks of her going there with her crying and refusing to stay there, but within the first week she was ready for me to leave her there on her own and she hasn't looked back yet! When she'd been there a week she came home and declared that She and Hugo was girlfriend and boyfriend once again (they tried it when they were at the DayCare). I think the real reason why she's gotten such a good start at Kindergarden is the fact that there are 3 children there from the DayCare already so it's not a completly new group. Another part is that Her Highness like all other children are 200% stronger than their parents think and thus all our worrying was for nothing.
Every day when she comes home she has a new story to tell and have learned a new name. Last night at dinner she looked at us and said: "Mommy, Daddy - at my Kindergarden there is a boy called Achmed. He's very nice!" She's also a little miffed that she's too short to use the new jungle gym, but hey atleast now she's a reason to eat the meats we serve for dinner because we tell her it will help her grow taller.

The most amazing thing that's happened with her after she's started Kindergarden is that she has gotten much braver at doing physical things. These days she's jumping off of things and running and doing all the stuff that is VERY normal for a toddler, but which she's never dared to do. The other night I actually had to stop her from trying to jump from her sofa in her room and onto her bed which is on the opposite side of the room! I never thought I would see the day where I had to explain to her that yes it's fun to jump on the sofa, but there is such a thing as trying to jump too far. Can you tell I'm like a proud momma bear here? On top of it all she has once again impressed the teachers with her language skills, I'm paying close attention to this new group of teachers and the fact that it's very easy to forget that she is infact only 3 years old. Another mile stone is me going there on the 1st of Feb. giving my big: "Yes you now have a kid with a Pacemaker in your house, here are what that means!" performance. It's a fine line of having them pay attention to the few things that could create problems and also letting them know that she is in general NOT to be treated any differently than other 3 year olds. Sometimes I think it could have been usefull for us to have a pacemaker-less child aswell, because the bonus battery is just so normal to us that we don't think about it that much and thus we don't realise just how impact it actually has on our lives. My biggest mission is for them to understand that she is in no way about to die on them. By the time I go there on the 1st they'll have had the pleassure of her company for a month so I'm hoping that will have made them realise that she is just like most 3 year olds. (aside from the fact that she is clearly the smartest, most beautiful and all around epic little girl to ever be - hey I can't be biased now?)

I have been a horrible Livejournal person lately. I've also been horrible at replying to emails and basicly doing anything online that isn't Twitter and for that I'm intensely SORRY!

Really you guys - I feel so bad about going pretty much ALOW, but yeah for the past couple of weeks I've been stuck at home with a broken ankle and a busted wrist. Sucks BIG TIME! Making a long story short, Her Highness and I had an accident on the bicycle going to the DayCare where we hit some black ice and basicly went down like a ton of bricks, leaving my left ankle UNDER the bike AND her Highness which resulted in said broken ankle and busted wrist.

Luckily I'm goodish at entertaining myself and I'm somewhat of a couch potatoe anyway, but still. It's spreading Boyfriend somewhat thin because atleast for the two first weeks I couldn't do ANYTHING because everything would hurt my hand. I've always thought I was ALOT more left handed than I actually am it turns out. It's the gift/curse of being ambidextrous-ish I guess.

Christmas is also becoming a somewhat different experience because where I would normally be running around getting things done I'm just not. I'm making lists and suggesting things but I can't do anything outside of the home because I can't really get around for that long at a time. Still, we're going to have Christmas Eve here, with my parents and Boyfriend's Mom and step-father. I'm going to be zen about it and NOT get stressed out by M-il and her lack of timing. One thing I am 'worrying about' is the fact that Boyfriend has asked M-il to do the dessert, and she can't cook... I'm not saying I'm the best cook in the world, BUT I'm just worried that the dessert which is an IMPORTANT thing to be. It's one of the highlighst of the night to sit after you've stuffed your face with Duck, roast pork, medister sausage, potatoes, gravy, caramelized potatoes, red cabbage and whatever else goes into to Christmas dinner is the dessert of ris á la mande... My worry is that it'll be either too runny because it whipped cream wasn't wipped enough OR the rice pudding wasn't cooked enough or gray because of too much vanillla. Still, I'm here on my couch silently worrying about my fave part of Christmas.

In another part of my life it's also the last week of Princess I in DayCare. It's going to be SO weird and I'm honestly trying NOT to panic thinking of how she will react to going to a kindergarden in a totally new place. We're spending alot of time talking with her about it and prepairing her for life without DayCare because she loves that place and she is so safe there. She is also a big fish in a very small pond there by now. But yes, I am pretty sure it will be a tough time for her to leave behind her DayCare 'teachers' because she is so secure with them, but we will get through this too. In fact I think it might be tougher on the parents ;) Which is OFTEN the case.
