Laptop Disastors (by sarah)
I have been cramming too much stuff into my life again and as a result have been having a few muscle spasms - nothing too bad except that last Tuesday after yet another festival I needed to packed and get the girls and me ready for a week of camping in Essex. SO I got up early and made myself a hot drink to wake me up. I then sat down to post on FB that I was going to be in Essex and that JEan would be having her birthday there and see if anyone wanted to pop down to the beach and have BBQ with us. My hand spasmed and I poured freshly made tea down myself and over the laptop, I dropped the cup (one of my favourites and eldests mugs) which smashed - alerting Alaric that something was up - he wasn't yet up for work.
I was pouring liquid out of the laptop in a dazed state when he asked if I was burnt. The answer was yes but I was pre-occupied in trying to save the laptop (I was not functioning properlly at this point). Alaric stripped my clothing which was still ouchy hot from the drink and got me too the shower. I had a bright red strip on my stomach, on bright red leg and another red knee. I kept on having little cold showers. Alaric wanted me to go to hosptial but I said I wanted to see how things went. I got mild shock but slept it off and thanks to Alaric and not me the burn was just a sore patch for the holiday but we were like a day late in getting there, I had blisters on my chest I hadn't noticed and my laptop after a week did not work at all 🙁
So it is now in the hands of insurance campanies and the like :/

Oh dear, what a week it has been. Keep well. It sounds like you all need a bit of down time to recover.

yeah I'm ok - doing lots of drawing and stuff as it is taking forever to sort out but at least it is actually covered and it turns out my data is all fine - thanks 🙂
