Hi,
My apple computer crashed tonight. It through me off because , well because having a sick computeer is disappointing. And no, I did not back up documents.
I'm writing on a little tiny small machine -- don't know what it is called --- tiny lap top like thing with MS 10. I've used it like 4 times . . . .trying to get used to it.

DID I TELL YOU I AM OUT OF MEDS????!!!

What was I thinking?
I have some Klonopin. OK
I have ONE Verapmil. I can take it tonight, call the pharmacy's computer for renewal and call again in the am myself to try to get three emergency pills --- Ive done that in the past with a different store. I feel like a moron for not keeping track of my meds and for cancelng pdoc appts .
Part of me thinks that I might have some meds aroudn somewyere -- but my room is chaotic.

I am trying to stay together. Keep myself together somehow.

Work seems to get worse each day. It's almost impossible to go in. I feel stuck.

Thank good ness I have klonopin -- such a magical med. And thank good ness I am so tired I barely care about anything.

Oh Mari, The Klonopin and rest will hopefully give you energy to face tomorrow. I am not sure about Apple but my PC that died I took the drive down to best buy and they made a back up for me.

Hope that you find meds or can get some carry through s before the weekend.
Hugs

Dear Mari

you sound like you need some hugs!!!





i hope you can rest and get things sorted out today.
i would probably take the mac to a mac shop - or someone certified for repairs, even if it's just to get the data off the drive.

Dear Mari,



I have a mac laptop issue (spilled perrier on it!) and took it to the apple store's genius bar. For my issue, they said they could send it out for a $280 flat rate. I haven't done that since I can still use it when it's plugged in and that is a lot of money.
Your issue may be entirely different. They don't charge you to take a look at it. They have all sorts of stuff there to help dx the problem. It may end up being a cheapie fix. Some of the laptops have battery issues, and they can be replaced free.
I would not bring my mac anywhere else.

I hope you get your meds soon and you can get out of this rut!

Hi,

Thank you.
I worked today. I got confused with stuff and had to ask some students to bear with with m e-- we were working on the computer and I was confused about switching windows but also confused about talkign to students. I made up for being so ditzy by being extra nice and smiley.

I called in sick for tomorrow /Thursday. I hope to sleep and get in some exercise.

I have my meds!!
CVS worked liked they were supposed to. That went smoothly after I had to hassle with the broken phone renewal system.

I've got three Apple stores within driving distance. The one that has the easier drive (not much crazy traffic) is almost an hour a way.) I might put it off for a while. I can't deal with it until next week or so.

Yeah, hubby suggested I call Best Buy or some such. HA HA. I want to deal with an apple guy.

Hi,

I futzed with turning the computer off and on various ways.
I got it to come up in "safe mode."

I'm trying to back up stuff by sending stuff to email because I can't use an eternal device in safe mode. But I am tired and only got so much emailed.

Maybe later today after sleeping I can try to turn it off and then on again so I will be able connect to a USB or a use something else that apple has. If I am in the mood I could call Apple (with a charge) to ask about that apple service.

Kay:
You remind me that I need a new key board. The keys have not been the same since I spilled watermelon on it a while ago.

So glad you got your meds! That helps a lot, the tiny computer is a netbook, I have one I just bought from dell I LOVE! Its how I get online in the evenings now, kiddo is on the desktop and I get the netbook. It takes some getting used to the smaller keyboard though, but it's not uncomfortable to use. I am glad you have one to get online during this time your mac is down. Hope you feel better soon, you planning on going to work tomorrow? Either way I hope you get some decent rest tonight.
