I've had the longest week ever. Stress piled on top of stress. I finally said to myself, this has to turn around. It can't keep getting worse. (Well it can, but I was trying to think positive)
So yesterday, I hauled my 1-1/2 month old computer into the Apple store and sheepishly explained that I had dumped 1/2 a cup of coffee on it. I knew the $$$$ amount was going to be big. And it was. Repairs, which are not covered under warranty for "liquid damage" (which tells me I'm not the only dumb-ass in the country to do this) were $755.
And you know what he did? He looked at me with pity and told me that this one time only, Apple will "take care of it for me" (at no charge!) since the computer is so new.
I think I stopped breathing for a second.
And then I pulled myself together and thanked him profusely. Sheepishly. And promised that no liquids would ever get near my computer again. So in 5-7 days, I will start all over with reinstalling info, programs, data, etc.
So finally, something GOOD happened this week! YAY!!!!!!
And then we went to the oral surgeon consult for my son. Can you say $2800 with no dental insurance? Welcome to my world.

What a great break you got with the computer repair. No more drinking liquids while blogging.
I think I might have kissed that apple guy full on the mouth for that! So glad that worked out for you. I just spent $900 to get trees removed and trimmed in my yard yesterday if that makes you feel better. And the roof is next. Ugh.
holy crap---$2800. Lemme guess...wisdom teeth?
I may need that Apple guy's name. Oh wait, nevermind. I have a crappy Dell.
I seriously can't believe they'll fix it for free. I just can't. But YAY!!!
