My parents brought us a new mattress this evening. It is tall, and very firm. Let's hope that we like it because we gave them our old one.

Last night, I researched a little while to find programs that help fix corrupted Office documents, hoping to be able to restore at least a few of my corrupted files. I ended up finding a program called GetDataBack, which scans boot sectors, etc. I let it run overnight, and this morning? It had found a lot of my files. It immediately could open two of my most immediately heartbreaking lost spreadsheets (including! the budget!) I used the drive for a week before realizing what had happened, or finding a program that could do anything with it, so it's not a complete fix... but spending a full day copying stuff (like I did today) is worth it for just the three files I've found so far that are fixed. Email? Well, I mean, I have my doubts because this is not something that has been going my way... but it's possible. More info forthcoming once I've had a chance to examine all the files that I spent today copying.

Also, I was in violation of the company dress code this morning. I slipped on my tennis shoes to go outside to start the car. I took them off when I came back inside. I have no memory of putting shoes back on, but an hour later, I noticed that I was wearing tennis shoes. I promptly went home at break to change shoes. An hour later, I'm walking down the hall and realize... that I forgot to change my damned shoes when I went home for break specifically to change my shoes. I am such a dork. I am not even properly able to wear shoes, for goodness sake.
