Thanks Deb

Yup poor sick man showed signs of stirring and I asked him how I'd know if my computer had a virus.

I KNOW he was not up for this (we have a bit of unpleasant history surrounding me freaking out while he's trying to troubleshoot stuff on the computer for me )...but things were starting to not work properly and my ENTIRE WRITTEN LIFE is on this hard drive.

Note to self: Buy CD rom tomorrow and back up all files!!!

I'm talking 15 years worth of my dream diaries, journals, all lectures, tests, letters....ARRRGGGH!

Wait a sec....with about 10 mintues of clicking CJ downloaded a virus scan....we had to wait nearly two excruciating hours but it checked all files and deleted 21 that were infected.

Seems to be working fine now...

I DID get a bit antsy while CJ was working on this, but nowhere near how I'd get before (it WAS a struggle though )...When I laid on the couch to wait out the scan my hands were icy cold and dripping wet, heart rate up about 15 BPM

Can you say "Stress Response?"

I DID thank CJ more than once and tried to give him a hug...he wasn't very responsive...I SHOULD chock that up to him feeling sick, right?

So then why did I get this AWFUL feeling???

Okay, just the stress hormones still circling....

Shiny
