You guys!!! My laptop is back!!! And it’s safe and it works!!! And I guess the super-nice guy at Apple decided to politely overlook the fact that I’d spilled water all over it, and my repair was FREE. Totally covered. Zero dollars. I was blown away. I was all mentally prepared to spend over $600 on it, and it cost me nothing.
The downside? My car got towed this morning, after I SWORE I’d parked it in a safe spot. I’d double-checked and everything, but I guess I was wrong. All my neighbors were at work, so I did something I’ve never really done in my life: I took the bus. And it wasn’t even that bad! It only costs $2 for a full day of riding and I can text my little heart out without worrying about crashing, because someone else is driving. I’m going to take the bus more often! It got me right to the tow lot … which cost $175. And that’s not even counting the ticket I still have to pay. All in all, though, today was less expensive than I thought it would be, AND I have my laptop back.
Mostly right now I’m exhausted. I feel like this week has been all about getting my life in Seattle put back together, getting back into the swing of things. I’m hoping to spend a lot of time sleeping this weekend and to feel a little bit like my normal self by next week.
