Before I knew it it was 8:00....I hadn't eaten, I had been sitting in a room for hours listening to people squabble over commas and I wanted to go home. I saved my InDesign document and we all left to head home. I was so excited to leave! Driving home I called Spencer, who agreed to make me my absolute favorite for dinner! (yup, grilled cheese. Ooey, gooey grilled cheese made with 3 different kinds of cheese with a side of tomato soup! mmmmmmmmm)
and then something happened.... and it made a horrifying turn...
As Spencer made my sandwich, I prepared to turn on my laptop. My battery died about a year ago and so i've been relying on plugging it into the wall. I plugged it in...and nothing happened.. The wire had blown a fuse!!!! It was dead!
Crazy thoughts started stirring in my head and I hit panic mode... My project was on my computer... I was the only one with the document... it had taken me 2 days to design!...it was a group project...they were going to kill me! My poor computer! I started thinking of solutions...go buy a new cord over lunch tomorrow? NOPE I have an old mac and they don't carry my plug-in at the mac store! I would have to order it! Would it arrive in time!?
Suddenly I decided to try one more time....I plugged it in and the cord sparked! We saw where the problem was..... and Spencer turned into a Mad Scientist... He had to cut the cord in half to fix it, but there was a small chance it wouldn't work. I held my breath as he cut it in half and then began fusing it all back together again. I couldn't concentrate. In my head I was still freaking out and completely about to lose it. It was way too much to handle! I was going to fail school, I was going to have to go up to work and start recreating it again.... should I put on clothes for work and shower? I probally wouldn't be able to get back home to change. I. was. a WRECK!
I turned on Kate & Leopold and turned my attention to the beautiful Hugh Jackman as I worried myself silly...and then Spencer came in the room with a taped-up cord. We held out breath as he plugged it in and.........
HUZZAH!!!!! The light came on!!!!!!! The reign of terror was ended! I saved my presentation, gave the girls a kiss and couldn't stop smiling!
And then I got more great news! I won a calendar from Marta of m.writes !!!
Isn't it lovely? I can't wait to hang it up in my little office! :) I think that December the 8th is turning out to be a pretty great day so far. :)
Love you all! I hope everyone elses day turns out as great as mine and all your wishes come true!
