Broken and damaged things!

curiouswombatShort entry for two reasons -
(1) yesterday I sliced through my thumb with one of my lovely sharp new kitchen knives whilst cutting onions to make chilli. Daughter dear fortunately arrived home not long after and stuck it together and bandaged it up for me. Then cleaned all the blood up and finished the cooking! The thumb is still bandaged, which is slowing my typing a bit.
(2) Later yesterday my laptop died without warning - just let out a small sigh and went black. S2C thinks it might just be a power-pack problem, but it has to wait until tomorrow for the engineer to be at work at the local computer shop to find out. So I can only access LJ via S2C's computer whilst he isn't using it. I have trouble using his keyboard and mouse - it is a very right-handed set-up, and I'm left-handed. I haven't yet worked out how to get at my e-mails, so forgive me if I haven't replied to something.

Date: 08/01/2006 11:00 pm (UTC)And your laptop problem sounds exactly like a power pack failure as s2c says, so here's hoping it's easily fixed.

I once sliced my thumb open. Was not a nice affair. but the funny thing was that I wasn't really aware what was going on 'til a few hours later. And that's when the pain kicked in!

I/we need a left-handed icon!

Date: 09/01/2006 07:46 pm (UTC)My sympathies to Shaka over the temporary lack of a keyboard to sleep on. That probably didn't do the laptop any good though. The cat featured in the icon would sit on the desk with me when I worked on the computer. Even if I used the laptop on the smaller desk he would squeeze in between the laptop and the scanner.
