Friday night I’m minding my own business, partying really hard like my usual Friday night, and I come home and my computer is totally broken!
…
Ok, so I’m home Friday night working and watching baseball when I get the BLUE SCREEN OF DEATH, and my computer shuts down. I try to start it back up again and it starts beeping like crazy and I freaking out! I call Dell and the woman is telling me that the processor is dead and I have to send it in and, ‘wait, let me check your warranty… oh! You are good. It expires in three days.’
Can you believe that?
And I finally upgraded my phone to a Blackberry on Tuesday. Tuesday! Three days before my computer dies, and my computer dies three days before the warranty expires.
Knitting Weekend
So I tried not to be bummed and took a knitting weekend! I went to JoAnn and took advantage of some killer yarn sales they are having now and started working on Holiday presents like whoa.
Lemons into lemonade? Not really. I had a ton of stuff on my to do list, including a lot of necessary pattern writing and blog writing and class planning, all requiring my computer, and it took me a good 24 hours to not be just irrationally angry. But! All my knitting had to get done, too.
So things might be a little quiet around here until I get my computer back, since I lack the skills to fix it myself and, therefore, the sight of it fills me with irrational rage. IRRATIONAL RAGE! Like fantasy football.
But I’ll leave fantasy football rage for another day.
oh my GAWD just about everything in life leaves me with VERY JUSTIFIED Irrational RAGE
I totally hear you!
its why I run and knit.
computers frustrate me.
It’s why I was so happy when I got a mac all to myself. ahhhh
just me and my laptop and nobody to mess with it.
but now it’s the family laptop
and it’s dog slow!
good for you for having a backup lemonade plan!
even if it IS crickets here for a (BETTER BE SHORT) spell…
good luck

that’s so great that you are still covered by the warranty- another 3 days and you would have been S.O.L! A knitting weekend is a great way to spend the time, looks like you were super productive!
