What's your backup??

I haven't blogged in a really long time .... things have been busy! End of the semester meant finals week. Luckily for me, it was more projects than it was tests!! However, it coincided with inventory week at work. Talk about a hectic, stressful time ... I'm glad its over, for sure! BTW, both classes turned out to be B's (seems I'm better at actually doing than I am at all the theory and what-ifs of librarian work... ) and inventory was more successful than expected, so all good notes :)

I had a relaxing weekend after all the rushing around, and was clipping my toenails when I scrunched and twisted the wrong way and pulled a muscle from my hip to my thigh. Weirdest thing ever! Hurt to walk and bend, but with some heat and ice, and time, its better now. I guess I need to remember I'm not as young as I used to be, and not try to get myself into compromising pretzel positions!!! {laughs}

And in an interesting conversation with my best friend: "yeah but one of my things is multiple redundancy, if one thing fails you have another backup.... two autos, two fridges, two microwaves, two computers, etc.......... but hell, I could never handle one, what makes one think one could handle more than one?" To that, I woke up with these words for him: "If she's the right one, you don't have to handle her, you just love her, and she doesn't fail." (How I wish I'd had those words last night!)

I know I have a few things of my own for backup, just in case. But mine are never the costly things ... it's more like a fav hairbrush, or a hair dryer, an extra bottle of shampoo, or roll of toilet paper, pens, sharpies, a pizza cutter even! However, with a house, and a place to put it, an extra fridge could be quite useful! And a laptop in case my computer has a nervous breakdown of some sort, so I could still chat, email, twitter and post pix (my vices in life!)!!!

Do you keep a backup of things? When you look on Google at finding something about backups, its nearly always about saving what's on your computer, but what about those things you can't live without??? What's your backup???

HUGS, front and back, to everyone!!!
