For those who know me, being involved with ANYTHING coffee would bring me great delight (deep sigh).
Yesterday, while minding my own business, my glass coffee mug chose to explode and rain down upon my writing desk. Not that this would have been a huge issue, except that my computer was sitting there and decided it had had enough of watching ME have all the fun and took a drink!
Naturally I am off warranty and who expects such an expense,,
Until this is rectified, I am borrowing Chrome books from my roomies (so very kind of them). Which means that content and connection might be a tad scattered.
My ‘lil sis, Kylie called to let me know she has started a fund to “Help Aunt Annette Get a New “Puter” so this may turn around quickly, never know,’
Where is old faithful? Sitting in a pile of white rice. Hey it works for cell phones, right?
Cheers,
Annette
Wishing old faithful a speedy recovery or perhaps time for the computer torch to be passed on…

We will see about these Chrome books… right now, I am learning patience all over again. Breathing deeply and keeping coffee as far away from my desk as possible! ❤

Thanks, Margot. One has to keep a sense of humor about these things, so if nothing else, I have been laughing a lot more! 🙂

Oh, I hear you, Annette. We don’t realize how dependent we are on those devices until they break down. I am sorry that this happened and hope that a solution is found quickly. Yes, posting over phones does work (in theory) but I cannot stand that option for me.

You know, I have owned computers since 1990 and have never spilled anything on any of them… We will see if the rice works and I can save my work… I do believe a new computer is on it’s way to me today, so that rocks!

HUGE bummer. I’ve done this, not once, but twice! One might say I have a stunted learning curve. Now my drink sits on the desk behind me 🙂 ❤️
