one step ahead.....two steps back....

ok, so i left for work confident that the bulk of the rooms would be painted....and drying or dried.......in time for us to get on with outting things back.....read this as...everything in the back room back in place so i can watch alias tonight at 9:00 pm......but this was not to be....the soot bled through the ceiling white.....and they repainted each and every ceiling again.......and we are today just where we seemed to be yesterday........heck.....and then......i went out to walk, thinking that i could listen to all the songs that i legally downloaded onto my new pda....but no.....it had a blank screen....and the only thing i could figure to do was to use reset...which cleared all new data, including all my contacts...and appararently the licences to downloaded songs........and i have spent the evening trying to figure out how to fix this problem.....and i could just scream.....somebody out there feel sorry for my plight.......nobody here is sympathetic.....
