Well Dear Friend, we're alive. Other than that not much is going right around these parts. In the mean time we're hoping for a miracle, and preparing for the world to end.
So far the car is totaled. The other guys car is totaled. It's not looking like insurance is going to cover much of anything and we are looking at a prolonged period of car-less-ness. (Oh, first world problems, how you mock me). Goose is pretty badly beat up physically and emotionally, and my dear sweet dad who is trying his hardest to help is making me crazy by calling/texting/emailing me every 15 minutes for the past 72 hours to 'update' me on...nothing really.
Other than that I'm smack in the middle of midterms for half of my classes, finals for the other half. Which of course means life is about to get messy.
And it did.
Somewhere on the long bike ride home today my water bottle exploded soaking among other things, my macbook with all of my course work on it. *facepalm*
So far it seems broken. I've dismantled it and washed all the parts. I cleaned them again with rubbing alcohol. And now I am letting it air dry. I've saved this computer twice before, so now I'm just praying for one last save. Something's gotta go my way right?
Hope things are better in your world. Lots of love.
Oh, right, and blogspot won't let me put the accents on my Russian, which in the scheme of things is not really a big deal, but I still find it to be insanely irritating.
Apparently it's a first world problems kind of day. So here's this:
:( well I hope something gets better, that's pretty horrible.
ReplyDeleteCall Chris and have him grab your data for you before you try booting it up in that state. It will only take him 15min to do it. Which macbook is this?
ReplyDeletePS: Distilled water in the jug from walmart. Submerge only the logic board and RAM in it and then gently brush with a toothbrush. Let it dry completely, then give it another shot. Believe it or not these things go through the equivalent of a dishwasher before being shipped out. Water is not bad, it's the stuff that's in it.
ReplyDeleteThanks Brian! I'll remember that for the next time, this time however, I fixed it all by myself! And that's a big deal considering how poorly technology and I get along.
ReplyDeleteHannah, thanks lovely. It's been really and truly unpleasant. Hoping this is the tipping point.
oh, and my water bottle was full of cranberry juice. it was a mess!
