Survived a day without my laptop!!! Thought I'd go crazy!

I haven't written a journal post in a long time.  But this little story needs to be told.  So here goes.........

This is the first time ever (yesterday morning), that I went to turn on my laptop and it wouldn't turn on!!  Not at all.  I couldn't believe it!!  I kept pressing the on button and nothing happened.  I didn't even get a blank screen.  Nada!!!  My laptop is only 8 months old and is a very nice one - a Dell model.  So imagine my dismay to find it not working!  I was trying to control my panic and not run around my house like a frantic maniac.  I was seriously suffering from internet withdrawal.  I started to feel the shakes.  LOL  This pc is as precious to me as my first cup of joe in the morning!!!  I have a morning ritual........get out of bed, turn on pc, make a cup of coffee, then check emails, do online banking, read aol news, and last but not least - play on Cafemom.  Does this routine sound familiar to any of you moms?  I was distraught and praying that my pc did not completely die on me from some unforseen virus.  I was seriously scared!  I have some very important documents (including 10 completed, good poems that I wrote) that I did not want to lose forever!  So I spent my day doing housework (fun, fun).  At least I was productive.  I forced myself to keep busy.  Finally, in the later part of the afternoon, I took my laptop to our local Staples ten minutes from my house.   And lo and behold, the computer technician fixed it in 5 minutes - for FREE!!!  I was shocked.  I thought for sure I had some horrible virus or multiple viruses that had done major damage.  Perhaps even blowing up my computer.  Boy was I relieved!!  I was almost ecstatic when I logged on at 5 pm and checked my emails, then Cafemom.  I am really not kidding when I say that I was suffering from internet withdrawal.  LOL  But I made it through most of the day without my beloved computer;-)  So I proved that I can get by for one solid day of no pc.  But hopefully, this does not happen again.  I got lucky this time;-)
