Virus vexation

Well, I'm now thoroughly vexed. In addition to a substantial acreage of shingles blowing off my roof, my computer has now gone away to have a virus scraped out of it - and of course all that goes through my mind is the number of things that I DIDN'T back up over the past six months. However, one thing I DID back up was the story, "Fairest in the Land," which I'd put onto a flash-drive the day before so I could work on it in my office at school... which is where I'll be answering my e-mails from, in the few hours I'll be here today, tomorrow, and Friday. And since I'd just finished Magistrates of Hell - and sent it off - and "Corridor" - and sent it off - I'm actually not in bad shape...
Though it's severely annoying to have to re-load programs, if the virus is the kind that requires wiping the disk.
a) I have a WONDERFUL computer-guy. His equally wonderful partner talked me through the preliminaries of yes, there's definitely a problem.
b) In the midst of all this, Mr. Roofing Guy phoned and THAT's on the road. With luck, before it rains next week.
c) The Universe may have taken away all my Christmas-money, but 1) the money was THERE, and it's better to lose money ear-marked for something else than to not have that money when the problem arose and 2) any sudden demand for money by the Universe that DOESN'T involve a visit to the ER for myself or one of my pets is... if not enjoyable, at least acceptable.
I finished "Fairest in the Land" on the flash-drive, and hope to get it loaded by this weekend.
