My step-sister Cathy taught me how to search Google Cache. And I’ve restored 3 of the missing posts. The cat-blogging isn’t there and of course my saved-for-the-future posts are gone, but I feel so much better!

I lost last week
I lost The Kite Runner review (which I can get back, because I cross-posted at IIRTZ). I lost Cat-Blogging. I lost the Sunday Meditation, which was one of the best things I’ve written in ages, and which I’d planned to save for a book I’m writing. Plus two or three posts I’d written and saved for the future, including a really fabulous one about a conversation with my mother.
Since my web host does a daily backup, I don’t worry about backing up my posts. In fact, he told me not to bother in so many words. Because of the backup. But his hardware somehow ate a week’s worth of backups. They’re all corrupt and cannot be restored.
I’m more than a little upset. And this effects the James Bond blog as well (same host). I actually lost more writing, more pre-saved posts, over there. Did I mention upset? I just can’t believe…I mean writing is what I do. In some ways, it’s what I am, and to see it die…
Oy. No trivia today. Can’t deal.
