i've been a bad blogger this week. might have something to do with the computer issues i've experienced. my laptop screen just went totally black on monday. i was typing. and then poof, it was dark. i have never freaked more. i rely on my laptop for everything. luckily, i had the girls laptop that i could use. i could get to my email and all that. but i had projects due, assignments to turn in. a lot of them in fact. and on their computer, there was no way to upload pictures from my camera or edit anything.
so this was me on tuesday night. my mom brought over her monitor (which is stinkin huge), so that i could hook up my laptop and just work off her monitor. which worked. but her coloring was all different. so what i thought i was editing, didn't end up looking like what i thought it edited too later. and her monitor was sitting where my regular printer usually sits. so i had a printer hooked up on the floor to use. i don't use my photo printer for regular paper stuff. i also had the girls laptop going on the other side of the room. i was working off all of them.
and alyssa had a project due for school. one that required lots of typing and sizing and printing of photos. photos that i had to dig off my external hard drives. i have two of them, since last year i filled up the first one. i also had alyssa's little hard drive stick thing out, to save her typing stuff on so that i could print off my laptop. no idea why, but their printer isn't working. and my printer isn't set up on their laptop. i was running back and forth between all of these machines all night. trying to get everything done. and saved on the external hard drives. so that i could have access to everything the next day, using just the girls laptop.
long story short, my laptop is at the repair shop right now. it's been there for almost two days. it made me super nervous to watch it walk out my door. i'm hoping it's fixable. the dude seemed to think it would be, but would cost me a pretty penny. in the meantime, i'm sort of lost. i don't have my bookmarks and links. i can't upload photos. i can't edit photos. i can't even resize a stinkin photo. the only reason you see that photo up top, is because i edited it and saved it in a post 2 nights ago. when all these extra things were hooked up. i also can't print. i've been emailing things to my mom, and having her print stuff for me. and everytime i need to show someone something or attach a photo to an email, i have to drag my external hard drives out. it's frustrating. i am totally aware of how much i rely on my computer. but now i realize just how much the computer is a part of every little thing i do. and it's exhausting, all this running back and forth. i'm keeping my fingers and toes crossed for my laptop's safe return. without costing me too much moolah.
