WAH!!!

I may have killed my laptop. I was petting Auri, and she sloshed tea onto the mouse pad area. I thought I'd got it all, but the computer started flickering about an hour later.

Dunno.

Drying it out now, and fingers crossed it will restart in a few days.

I'm using Linnea's laptop right now. She adopted dh's Surface when he started using his dad's older one, so it's not a problem for her to be without a computer for a few days. I, however, need one!

I was actually writing things for my thesis yesterday and today, but I can't get Word to work on this machine, it claims there is an issue with my subscription and since dh has to manage that (I don't have that access and can't get it) I have to wait until he gets out of his meeting, which has been pretty much non-stop for the past three hours.

I'll get there.

And I have to figure out how to disable the stupid touch screen.

ETA And Perry broke my beautiful purple mechanical pencil. It's officially a crappy day. :P

good luck with the computer! Eldest child killed one of our laptops via a spill at someone else's house (maybe also someone else's spill?), and we discovered that we'd been paying for a computer coverage rider on our insurance for many years (probably since grad student days, when replacement costs would have been prohibitive), and we got enough $$ for a nice upgrade.
