Forced Sobriety
Last Tuesday I went to bed happy. I had already done all of my Entrecard drops for the next day and had posted an ad on the Entrecard marketplace and already received 5 orders. I was content, and well, tired. Hence the going to bed thing. I woke up the next morning ready to start fulfilling my orders, hit the on switch on my computer and heard it whir to life. Then I waited. And waited. And waited. Evidently my patience alone wasn’t enough to coax my monitor to life. A little over a year in and it has decided to stop working. If I unplug everything from it and wait for a while I get a faint glimpse of the blue power light when I plug it in, but it still won’t turn on. I have a bad reputation in my family for murdering electronics, but this is a desktop that has only been moved once and has never taken any major hits, unlike most of my former laptops. Thankfully there is a warranty for it somewhere (it was a christmas present from my dad and stepmom, and he keeps everything, but can never find the important papers) I’m taking it in tomorrow so wish me luck. In the meantime my sister had an extra monitor sitting around and is letting me borrow it until mine is fixed. Have I mentioned how much I love her? It’s her birthday by the way. Or well it was. February 16th. My big sister is 21. Insanity.
Of course my monitor picked the worst time to die. Not only did I have a bunch of stuff to do but my house was empty from the 10th to the 16th, and I don’t have cable. I spent about 8 hours cleaning and then decided to go visit my dad for the long weekend. It’s amazing how lost I feel without my computer. So I’m back now, and I’ll try to post more, unless I experience another computer malfunction. Let’s hope not.
