My computer decided yesterday that it would no longer charge. Turns out Max had been gnawing on the power cord behind my back. Luckily that turned out to be a quick fix at the Apple store. And I read nearly an entire book to kill time ("I Am Mary Sutter" review coming soon.). I discovered one thing during this 24 hour period though....I am entirely too reliant on this machine.
I use it to entertain me, to gain information, to talk to my husband. So it being broke was not an option. I used it yesterday morning to find the recipe I really should write down for cocoa brownies, and then when I arrived back home (container empty....the brownies were a hit!) the computer was dead. No amount of sweet talking or cursing revived it. I felt like Mary and Martha with Lazarus, and I was pretty sure Jesus didn't care to revive my machine.
But I'm back. Which is good. I had to do guesswork on which restaurant I was meeting my wives group at today because I couldn't access my e-mail. Life is just much simpler with technology.....but I've learned the hard lesson that I need back-up options.
At least your animal ate teh cord. My toddler keeps trying to eat ming.
ReplyDeleteYou should get a phone capable of email access. Like an iphone :p
ReplyDeleteI hate that we're so dependent on these things. It's our own fault. But your dependence affords you the luxury of talking with your husband, so I feel your pain!!!
