I was very careful to shield you all from the sadness that has washed over me and my family the last few days. It was a very trying time and I didn’t want you to suffer as well. And so I didn’t mention anything. But now everything is back to normal, the way it should, the way God intended it to be.
On Saturday morning I contacted Dell Support (and I was very pleasantly surprised! I loved them!) because my keyboard is missing a key and I’m getting a bit tired of having to push the little rubber piece in a gazillion times until it actually types the letter for me (C if your curious which letter) and they promised to ship me a replacement keyboard. One that I could install myself. Which meant that I had worried for nothing, because I wouldn’t have to ship my laptop away! And then I mentioned that my power cord had been acting a little funny and only working when the planets were aligned to his (my power cord is a boy) liking. They said they would ship a new power cord out as well.
I thanked them and went about my business. (You know, the business of sitting on my laptop all day and smiling happily at the screen, because LAPTOP, I LOVE YOU WITH ALL MY HEART.)
I’m sure you all can imagine what happened next. The damn power cord broke for real and the battery on my laptop died and I have been using my old *gasp* desktop computer and I must tell you that I felt DIRTY using that old thing. Like a cheater! It just didn’t feel right.
Which is why when I opened the door to see a box from Dell sitting on my doorstep I began weeping tears of joy. The FedEx man handed me a tissue and went about his day.
I ran into the house and ripped the box open, plugged my baby in and sat down to be reunited with my one true love.
I was just so excited that by the time I had pushed the power button I was hyperventilating. And then when the black screen with the big blue letters that spell out DELL came on the screen, well, I probably shouldn’t tell you what I did, but I’m going to.
I tossed that baby down onto the couch, climbed on and started humping my laptop.
Its good to have her back.
(If you are wondering what my good news is, I still haven’t gotten the all clear to share it yet, so as soon as I do you’ll be the first second third person I tell, internet! But, keep guessing because some of those guesses are cracking me up!)
