Missed Entry

(Re-entered on Monday 03/04 to replace the lost entry)

I did write an entry yesterday before leaving for work. I finished, in a bit of a rush, right before I ate lunch, then I dressed for work and we headed out. I don't know how or why, but when I looked through my journal, it was not there. Not by date, nor anything I had written. Just not there, lost and gone forever. Well maybe not, but I really doubt it will re-materialize. Even so, I will give mention, since anything is possible.

Even though I don't know what happened to my entry, I am not laying blame on WDC. I very much doubt that anything happened to my entry as a result of the site. Sure, it is possible, but I don't think so. If I had lost it while writing in it, then perhaps, but that is not the case. I was done writing it, saved it and closed out my browser, shut down my computer, and left the room.

I was rushed for work, Sundays I have to be there by 2:00 pm and I still had to eat and get dressed. Also, the roads were not good, so I needed extra time for travel, I have a twenty-five mile trek to work. Also, the damn time change was a factor. I got up at the regular time, but by the clock it was an hour later do to Daylight Savings Time.

I'm not even sure if I clicked the right button at the bottom. Did I save or did I miss the correct link and lose it? I don't know, but I do think I did save it. Of course, the internet has been real slow the last few days, so I may have closed out of WDC before it did save and that is how I lost it. Either way, somehow I lost the entry, I'm certain of it.

Since I did nave an entry for the day, and since I am trying to write at least a little bit every day, I'll enter it in like this. I did miss one day already this month, but other than that I a have been doing good. I know it does not matter, but I'm just kind of funny that way. If I had missed the entry, I would just say so in the next and move on. But since I did write it out and managed not to save it, I want to give credit, so when i look back, I can feel that sense of accomplishment that comes with doing something right.

I even remember what I had blogged about -- time. Not time as in hours and days and such, but time as in Daylight Savings Time. What a hoax. Like we really save an hour by changing the clock. I had posted a short quote of my own that put it this way, "The concept of Daylight Savings Time revealed... Put a dollar in your right pocket and a dollar in your left pocket. Now, you have one dollar in each pocket. Now, take the one dollar out of your right pocket and put it in the left pocket and count it, you now have an extra dollar! Don't spend it, though, this fall you have to move it back."

Anyway, that is about it.
