Materialistic Things to Be Thankful For!

 MY COMPUTER IS FIXED! 

AND PRACTICALLY BRAND NEW!

So two weeks ago(ish) after I cleaned my computer with a Clorox Bleach Wipe -- the keyboard started acting funny. As in certain keys would only work if the caps lock was on, or when I would push one button three letters would show up. It was bizarre. Being the computer support secretary I am I Googled the problem. Apparently I needed to shut everything down and let it air out for a day or two. I did this on a Thursday night .... It was still dead Monday morning. So being the computer support secretary I am I took it to work gave it to my boss and said -- can you fix this?

Then the wait started. For weeks my blessed roommate Stacey McKnight has been selflessly sharing her computer with me -- FREE OF CHARGE! Then today, the Apple Man FINALLY CAME!

After tinkering for a while he discovered that there was NO WATER DAMAGE (which is a HUGE blessing because my Applecare does not cover spills). 

(Although I still secretly think that's what the problem is -- the way they detect water spills as I understand it is that there are stickers under the keyboard that change something when they are wet -- so thankfully my Clorox drops missed those indicators!)

The Apple Man than found that my computer's power button was broken, so he's ordering parts. For the time being he did something to make it turn on again until the parts come in. My job is to not let it turn off or run out of juice until after the new parts come in, because it's going to die again if that happens. 

So here's all that I'm grateful for day (in relation to my laptop):

1.) That my roommate is so sweet and kind enough to share with me.

2.) That my computer is running again and will be fixed completely soon.

3.) That my the Apple Man noticed the cracks at the hinge of my computer and replaced the outer covering.

4.) That my screen finally got cleaned -- It's been needing that for a long time actually and there was this spot on my screen that was lighter than everything else -- that's gone now too!

5.) It turns out that the power key is connected to the keyboard, so when I get a new power button I GET A WHOLE NEW KEYBOARD, which isn't that big of a deal since my keyboard is working properly now but it's still exciting because I get something new! YEAH!

So that's my materialistic blessings for today!
