Where Have You Been?!?

Hey there blog fans! The crazy-est thing happened! My domain name that I have had set to an automatic payment for years, expired! Because the payment didn't go through disabled mom expired in January! I never received notification of an issue and because I re-direct from Blogger I never saw the interim screen warning me that my page was expiring.

Go Daddy sold my domain name a few days after the last time I had visited the page in March. When I logged into to do some edits my page was gone. I had to contact the new owner and strike a deal for buying it back. If he hadn't agreed I would have lost my domain name. It was very stressful.

A few days after we sorted it out and everything was working my kids got a week off from school so I was super busy. Than a few nights ago my husband dumped a full cup of water on my laptop. After drying it out for a day or two and some attempts to get it going he announced he was going to Best Buy. He returned with a new laptop.

It turns out the back up service we subscribed to stopped working a few weeks before this incident. We tried everything we could think of, but I wasn't able to get any of my data after July 2013. We've contacted a recovery service, but hopes aren't high. I'm sorry for not writing but I'm back now. It was just a crazy set of circumstances.

  1. Sorry for the troubles. That's computer world for you. Ridiculous, I hope things go easier for you in the future, and that you are able to recover some files. x0x0x0x
