This is not my week. My iPod has stopped working. It appears to be so low on power it cannot make it all the way through the boot up process (at least that is what my research tells me) and the best way to fix it is to charge it in an outlet charger instead of the USB cable. Unfortunately I don't have one of those, and so now I am waiting for it to be shipped to me.
Then G's laptop stopped charging entirely because it is a Dell and the adapter has a special wire that tells the computer it is a Dell adapter and it is probably either borken or fried due to our insufficient use of surge protectors (or at least that is what my research tells me, once again) and so we are awaiting a new adapter too, though she can use her laptop still, just the batter refuses to charge unless the adapter is Dell. Annoying as hell and the adapter is stupidly expensive but it gets better.
Then last night between 6 and 8 PM my computer's hard drive dies. I spend all the remaining hours that any electronics store is open trying to see if I can get it to come back to life, but no. (My research tells me) I am screwed and my best bet if I care about anything on the drive is to go buy a new drive and set up the old one a a slave. I've done that before, but now it just seems like maybe I should not be touching any computers for a while.
I am fearful of what computer or electronics component will fail next. I did nothing to cause any of these (except perhaps the iPod… I let it get too low.) Perhaps the router will die next? The DVD player? Our TV?
As the saying goes "when it rains it pours". "When It Rains It Snows" seems like a nice twist to it though. Because I don't even feel like I have time to deal with this because I already had a weekend full of plans. Excuse me now as I go and scream! (And then go to the store to buy a new drive!)
