Sick day for me, then for my Mac.

It felt like Monday today because I took a sick day yesterday. I woke up with a stomachache and a sinus headache. I thought I was being a bit of a wuss, but I slept most of the morning, got up for lunch, and then slept most of the afternoon. The only way I can sleep that much is if I’m sick. Someone accused me of being hung over, but I can’t sleep at all if I’ve been drinking too much.

The comedy of errors with my new, ailing laptop continued today. I took it in to have the overheating battery replaced, and it took a bit of time to drop it off. I finally got my paperwork back and I was almost to the parking garage when they called me back in. They said it shouldn’t take that long to replace a battery. When I got there, I reminded them that they needed to run the thermal test again and I waited. And waited. When the Apple Genius came out and first offered to validate my parking, I knew something had gone wrong. The thermal test had passed, but when they rebooted they got three beeps which signifies bad RAM. The first time I took it in I told them I was getting kernel panics and the three beeps and they replaced the motherboard BUT NOT THE RAM. Then they found overheating issues with the battery. And now they have to replace the RAM. What a fiasco.

So I’m without my laptop again. I just got my $700 copy of Photoshop today and I should probably try it out but it’s hard to do with no laptop. Ah well. Time to read a book.
