What a beating of a day.
My day: (took the day off work to work on my mega-paper)
wake up 7:30
Gage, up, dressed, breakfast.
8:45 Out the door to take Gage to Memaw's
9:30-10:30: exchange Gage's shoes @ Target b/c Hubby bought a pair (FIVE SIZES) too small. (WTF was he thinking!?)
11:00 home, gather paper writing junk. Open laptop.
WHAT THE F*CK? The screen went black.
Every time I turned it on, it turned off.
Run up stairs----use that computer to find a place to buy a new battery for the laptop. Why??? Because the draft of the paper is ON the laptop. NO, I didn't save it to the little memory stick thing because when I was going to---the laptop kept turning off!
Closest place that has the battery: Plano's Batteries Plus.
fine. Go there.
$100+ later---I've got a new battery.
Problem: that's only 1/2 the problem. Screen won't light up.
Go to Computer Junction in Richardson.
fine. $75 to plug in a cable that came loose?
fine. pay it. Go home.
2pm: lunch.
And now, my day off has been WASTED with running around, and I've only added 2 pages in length to what I'd hope to finish today.
I want to take a nap.
:(
that's my whine for today.
thanks for reading.
I'm still typing, and that means that I am procrastinating.
....crickets....crickets......
Okay---fine! I'll log off! I'm leaving now. Back to work on my paper.

I know it's not really consolation to hear it, but we've all been there, sister. Just give a good old fashioned scream, and maybe a cry or two. Ugh.
ANd to think....a coworker asked me today....is B doing something fun on her days off? After my scoffing I told her what you were doing (because I actually DO pay attention to what you tell me)!!! =) Hope you got it done and it's fabulous...I missed you!
FYI for the future. The lap top will power up with a dead battery if you take the battery out and run it though the power cord. We have one with no battery and that is how we use it.
What a nightmare...sorry this happened to you.
Murphy's Law totally sucks!
