Always a new way to lose your work

It was only about five hundred words but they were difficult words and took me several days to write (normally if I actually work I get twice or four times that in a day). I'm not sure what happened. Suddenly a couple pages of my work were highlighted and the program froze. An hour later the program was still frozen and I thought I was better off losing that bit than never being able to work on the file again (and I am behind deadline), so I forced it to close.

Obviously it was a slip of my hand that highlighted the text and froze the program, but I have no idea what hotkeys I inadvertently touched.

Anyway, I have to walk away from this mess: I have other needs, and I will be able to reconstruct what I wrote, or write something else that fills the requirements, after I have taken care of the other things.

And I have been sitting in one place too long anyhow.
