::Singing:: Everything's falling apart and life sucks! (jazz hands)
My phone battery is inflating. My laptop is misbehaving. There's a threat to our economic stability that may or may not happen and our dear government is planning to make life more complicated and expensive for MeMum.
Hooray.
The laptop drama really got going yesterday when I dragged it and the keyboard to make it go to some Experts in Brisbane to see about a blood issue [I'm fine, my dosages just needed a tweak] but when I got there, the screen went completely black.
Fun.
I tried the old Hard Reboot [aka: turn it off and turn it back on again] but the power button would not register my pressure on it.
Yay.
I spent a good 18 hours believing my lappy was really most sincerely dead when, in the morning, I decided to lean on the power button until it did something. Hard reboot accomplished. The most important button on the laptop is not always operational.
Huzzah.
I'm hoping it was a once-off heat issue, but... keeping the tech limping along is worrying to say the least.
And now I haul my arse off to physio to get myself at least a little further unfucked. Braving the Crimbo TRAFFIC all the way there and back.
....yaaaaayyyy...
UPDATE
I took off super early, arrived super early, and spent more than a bit of a while trying to fix an error that was essentially a butt dial.
Spoilers, I haven't figured out what I did or how to undo it.
Called the cavalry on that business and hoping for the best. Googled it and got the thing to fix it. Yay.
