Sorry to be so blunt, but I really couldn’t think of a better title.
Someone hacked my email account…the one I use for my writing. He deleted all of my emails, all of my folders, and sent me an email (from my own account) titled “Christians go to f-ing h—“.
I’ve spent the last two hours emailing my contact list to let everyone know what happened and hoping this person didn’t send out any emails in my name. My contacts include other authors, editors, and article contacts. I opened a gmail account and have to switch everything over to that, but now I have a gmail account and the old address that I used to start this blog and I don’t know how to combine them.
In my paranoia I’ve been changing a lot of passwords, including my eBay account. Problem is, I hit the shift key at some point when I was changing my password, so now it has caps in it someplace, but I don’t know where. When I clicked “forgot password” it tells me my session has expired and I need to login…but I don’t have my password!!!
And now I’ve lost two hours of valuable writing time (I don’t write every day…I set aside certain days and type a lot on those days). And I’m going to lose even more time because I have to get onto eBay chat and try to get into my account.
Yuck. Ick. Crud. This has been a bummer of a day. I think I need ice cream.
I'm sorry. That's horrible! You have to wonder why people do these things. It's so pointless. I hope your day gets better. Good luck getting everything taken care of.
Oh Karin, I am so horribly sorry this happened to you, Hon.
What a rotten, mean thing to do! We should pray for this person; they have huge owies in their heart!
I will pray for you, too.
And eat some ice cream in your honor. Do you like Extreme Moose Tracks?
Chocolate ice cream with chocolate chunks and caramel cups covered in chocolate…
Love you,
Jen
Lazy Lady 🙂 – Thanks
Jen – That sounds super! Toss on a few peanuts if you've got 'em.
The day's getting better…that was a rough few hours, though.
Wow. That's nuts. I wonder why they targeted you. What kind of account was it? Not that it matters. I suppose they can get into anything now-a-days. Hope you have a better day tomorrow.

Ugh. That's awful. I hope you get it sorted out… ice cream sounds like the perfect fix 🙂
