And it's only Tuesday!
Went off to NY over the weekend for a chili cook off (last one of the season before the Worlds Championship right here in NH this weekend). Hubby is still chasing a red win. I have all 3 categories. (http://www.chilicookoff.com or http://www.chilicats.com for more info on that hobby of ours!) Took my laptop so I could maybe get some stuff done. Tried to use it Sat AM- no start up. Figured I'd let the battery run down and kicked myself mentally for not charging it night before. Got back to where we were staying, plugged it in, and still nothing. No power. Don't know if it is battery, power supply or computer, but it's dead!
Came home, hubby's computer is also dead! Bad disk. Got that recovered yesterday. Whew! Tho sitll a bit wanky, it is working.
I am on his laptop with the drive for mine connected. At least that is ok, so when I do get a new one, I can get all my "stuff."
A while ago, I found out I have a torn miniscus in my right knee. Orthopedic wanted to try cortisone, so I got that about a week ago. Better, but not perfect. So, Monday night, I crouched down to get something off the closet floor, and when I stood up, POP goes the knee and pain shoots through it. Eased after a few seconds and I figured, ok, rest it for the night, no problem, right? Wrong! Yesterday & today, it's swollen & ouchy, and even the circulating ice machine isn't taking it down. Appears I completely blew it out. Nice. Can't take any real pain meds, either, because I have a colonoscopy scheduled next week and none of the good stuff is allowed. Been resting it as much as possible, but I have a full week this week and next, what with Worlds and another cook off next weekend.
Ok, my rant is over. Not really wanting to sound whiny but geez! Needed to get it off my chest a bit. Looks like surgery is on the horizon for the knee at some point.
Then again- maybe the bad beginning of the week means I will win at Worlds, huh?
And maybe the chickens will start laying eggs now, too! Double
