I found my keys!
I know you didn't know they were missing but they were and it was really bothering me because they shouldn't have been missing.
They're my spare set, not attached to a car key or anything and I always just have them in my purse, so my first thought was that maybe they fell out of my purse when it fell over (it does that in my car sometimes) so I looked and looked but no. (I did find some dead bugs under a seat though so that should be dealt with... soon!)
I checked in coat pockets but they weren't to be found. Which always is kind of upsetting because I'm pretty consistent where I put things. I wasn't too too worried as I didn't think there was any way anyone could trace them to my place but still... there's always that lingering thought right?
So it turns out I'd thrown some papers on top of them and then not bothered to check under said papers but when I was heading out yesterday I saw a glimmer of metal and YAY! My keys! Not lost at all!
Well, I mean, I guess they were lost but now they're found... uh.... now I'm singing Amazing Grace, sorry!
Whoops. Double Whoops!
I have an (older) Apple laptop, and some of you who do as well, may know the frustration of the charger cords. They are absolutely the weak point of these devices and constantly fray and break. Especially, it seems, for me, probably due to the angle of my cord compared to where it has to plug in and where I spend most of my time. So because this part breaks so much, I get tired of paying the $100 for the replacement I know isn't going to live all that long. Last time I got a replacement I tried to fortify the break point, but it still went. And then I ordered a slightly cheaper one off of Amazon. It didn't come from apple, but arrived with all apple branding, so... I figured it was real enough. *shrug* It frayed as well, and this time the protective coating was only slightly split so I left it for a while, intending to get some electrical tape to seal it up for a while. Which is why I was not so happy to hear and see it spark when I went to plug it in...
