Well it was only a matter of time before the inevitable occurred. My office is split equally between the kitchen table and dining room table. I am religious about not eating/drinking while using my laptop BUT this week we’re painting and tearing apart the kitchen. The cranberry juice was right beside my laptop and I, me, not the kids, knocked the whole glass over and of course it spilled onto my laptop keyboard.
It seems to be the upper right side that is sticking, nothing important there except 15 or so keys, like the delete, o,p and enter. I tried popping them off and cleaning up but it doesn’t seem to be working. Off to the repair place I guess.
How often in life do we warn ourselves and others of potential mistakes, and then make them anyway? It sounds awful, but I would have been less upset if the kids had done this rather than me. I suppose that my expectations of myself are higher, and that’s that.
It’s a small mistake in the big picture, but a completely preventable one. These are the mistakes that consume my life though. Somehow, I can forgive the HUGE ones, but these nit picky small things (hemming one pant leg shorter than the other, burning the muffins) eat me up. Is it the same for you?
oh well, off I go tomorrow to have things checked out.
