No good, horrible, very bad day

The saddest thing happened to me last week. (disclaimer: when I say this, I am referring to my rich white girl problems and in the grand scheme of life this is not quite as horrible as I am making it out to be given my relatively charmed life. However, this is my blog and I can cry if I want to, so I will keep writing in spite of this) 

So, as I was saying, the saddest thing happened to me last week. On Wednesday, I was eating lunch and browsing Pinterest like any other day, I reached over to grab a drink of water and the unthinkable happened, the glass tipped over! Water spilled directly on my laptop and flicker... flicker... BLANK! That's all she wrote! The computer was a goner. I took it to the Apple store to have them look at it and make sure that it was dead. They confirmed the worst, it was dead as a doornail.

My laptop was a 15" Macbook Pro. It was beautiful. It was an expensive machine that I saved for for at least a year. It was relatively new and as it was one of my favorite possessions, I kept it in mint condition and in one quick motion it was ruined. I sat on the couch for the rest of the day wallowing in my depression. I am not gonna lie, Ben and Jerry came to my pity party and helped drown my sorrows.

After waiting a few days, just to make SURE that my laptop wasn't going to spontaneously revive itself. I sucked it up and went to the Apple store to buy a new one. Thank goodness for interest free financing! I don't exactly have an extra $2,000 just lying around. I came home with my new computer and desperately looked for something new and different to excite me about having to repurchase my computer. The only difference I could find between the new one and my old one is that the power cord looks a little sleeker. Um... woo hoo? I mean, seriously, it is the exact same machine. Utterly anticlimactic.

I have been pretty much wallowing in self pity for the last four days. But, it is now time to put my big girl pants on and move on. I have a new laptop that I will spend the next year paying for and will probably drink from sippy cups from now on, but other than that, life is grand!
