This year started out well. I’ve been working like a fiend on the project I started for #NaNoWriMo<\/a>. I had plenty of these moments…<\/p>\n

\"start\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And a few of these ones, too…<\/p>\n

\"start\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I eased my way back into the blogosphere slowly with the plan of picking up the pace as the month went on.<\/p>\n

Then disaster struck!<\/p>\n

I turned on my computer and went to my blog to delete spam comments, reply to legitimate comments, check my site stats, like I do every morning. Only the sidebars (not entirely I came to discover later) and header image were there!<\/p>\n

Instead of my most recent blog post filling the section in the middle of the screen, the two words that were there in large bold print “Nothing Found”<\/strong> haunted me. I didn’t notice it immediately but all my pages were missing, too.<\/p>\n

Thankfully, my hosting company dotCanada.ca were able to restore my blog’s database back to prior to my disappearance. I figured if I had to re-write one post, it wouldn’t be the end of the world.<\/p>\n

\"start\"<\/a>They restored me. I crashed me. They restored me again. Some of the content still didn’t work. Third time was a charm and normal service\u00a0has been resumed.<\/p>\n

I digress for a moment, do you cross your fingers middle over index or index over middle. I tried the way it’s shown in the clip art and I find it extremely awkward.<\/p>\n

The week of January 17-23 was the week from hell at The House of King. I was frustrated, angry, angry at myself, and generally not a nice person to be around. Trust me, my husband agrees totally with that statement.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"start\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I keep my fingers crossed that normal service will continue as I have lots of exciting things happening in 2016 that I want to be able to share with you, my lovely followers.<\/p>\n

This is for you, my peep! Mwah!<\/p>\n

\"start\"<\/a><\/p>\n
