Sometimes things happen that just make you scratch your head, say "Huh", and be amazed that God is God.
The night before last (the morning of Friday the 13th -- do, do, do-do!) I discovered that my dreams can "short circuit me, which has never happened before. I dreamt I was turning on a light and the outlet jolted me with a surge of electricity. My brain literally and figuratively short circuited, both in dreamland and when I woke. I didn't think much of it, and struggled to get up and experience what I could of the day.
When I got to my computer I discovered it could not boot, though it worked just fine the night before. It needed a complete reformatting and reinstall of the Mac OS. Thank God for seamless backup from Apple! They made it easy for me to restore my external brain in a matter of hours.
Nothing else in our house was fried, the computer is on a surge protector that wasn't tripped. I've no idea what happened and it may be a coincidence -- but I tend to go with Anonymous who said "Coincidence is God choosing to work anonymously."
Still having mostly hard days. Perhaps I need a break from the hyperbaric chamber (and shocking dreams. Sardonic grin). Will run when I can, but that's not today.

Interesting how you view your computer as an extension of your brain. I have the same view also. My computer serves me as a memory bank. It is like an elephant as it never forgets, with the caveat that it is a machine that can break down. Last spring my hard drive hiccuped and I had to reformat. Fortunately I lost only a few recent photos and ten year's worth of collected miscellaneous text files. the rest of my photos and files were backed up on an external hard drive and CDs.
ReplyDeleteRecently I looked at my TBI bro's computer. Like his scrambled brains, his desktop is a plethoria of icons and his files are not organized in a logical manner....
