I opened an email that I shouldn't have on Wed., It was from my cable co or so I thought. I ended up downloading the bloodhound virus : ( Thankfully dh's friend was able to come over last night and after an hours worth of work the virus is gone. When I went in to change our password last night which is in our webmail there were 2 more emails with the virus on them so I was smart this time, called the cable co to let them know and then deleted the buggers. I tell you this was one smart & very stubborn virus. It knew when I was trying to access anti viral websites and wouldn't allow me to get on. It disabled my Norton anti virus as well. Phew, I'm glad dh's friend was able to fix it.
How are all of you doing?
Hugs & Prayers,

Thx for letting us know about the virus, Danielle. Were the e-mails legit? Or just someone trying to spread the virus? I have a firewall, anti-virus, cookie patrol, adware scan, etc. If there is a virus that my equipment recognizes, it simply won't open the e-mail. I like to think that I am safe, but one can never be certain. I wish I knew more about all this, so I could be safer.
I am doing ok, in spite of Jas' illness. She is still very weak. I didn't have the mammo today as I couldn't leave her home alone & obviously she's in no condition to go with me. I'll be going in 2 weeks.
How are you doing, Danielle? It's getting ever closer to dh's return. I bet you're getting excited! It seems this nearly 5 weeks has passed pretty quickly. Have a good weekend! (((hugs))) jan
Wow, sorry to hear about the virus! I don't know what i'd do if i got one. I don't know anybody that could help. You sound great, I hope you're doing well!

HI Jan,
No, the emails were not legit but I didn't know that until dh told me to call the cable co. I never do anything that stupid, I think my brain was shut off that day, lol. When I called the cable co last night to let them know about the 2 new ones he said to watch out because there are certain viruses circulating right now and they know about them but they are bad enough to get through the anti virus program on email.
I'm doing pretty good. Dh should be home this time next week : ) I am so EXCITED!!!!! I can't wait for him to come home. Ds is having a hard time with all of this now, With dd & dh gone he is stuck to me like glue, even sleeping in my bed at night which he knows has to stop when dh comes home and I'm sure he won't be a problem. I have 2 very good kids, they might make me crazy but all in all they are good.
I have an appt with the pdoc in a little while so I should know the results of my lithium test today. Still using xanax. It's just so stressful being a single parent, I don't know how people do this. Dh finishes school this coming wed : ) Pray he does excellent on his test : ) He's much smarter than he gives himself credit for, I know he'll do great.
{{{{Jas}}}} Get well quick vibes!!
Hugs & Prayers,

I'm doing ok Sherri Ann. I'm so excited about dh coming home soon. I'm so happy this is almost over. The time went quickly but was filled with too many oopsies.
How are you?
