Externally, I am the picture of calm. Internally, I am curled up in a ball and wailing like a five-year-old that has had his favourite toy confiscated. I suspect this is going to be a very expensive mistake.
This is the kind of thing that happens when you are too tired to think straight.
Last night, we were out for my husband’s 50th birthday, feasting at The Steak Restaurant in Hatch End. At 04:00 this morning, I awoke as my stomach hadn’t digested everything and I was blasting away under the covers. Unable to fall asleep again as my husband was performing night-time tractor impressions, by 04:45, I was logged in and working. I should have read a book for half-an-hour and tried to settle down again, instead.
Taking a break for lunch and with no space on my desk, I made the dubious decision to perch it on a box beneath my desk. Sitting on the floor, I checked out a couple of offers from Gardener’s World then disappeared off to grab a small sandwich.
I should add that my desk is a FlexiSpot height-adjustable standing desk.
I should also add that I thought I had closed my laptop … which I am still paying for. You know what happens next.
Returning to work after lunch, I forgot about my laptop and carried on as normal. Where my desk is in front of the windows, when it gets dark, I always lower the desk so I can reach the blinds to close them. Today was no different.
Even when I heard the crack, my tiny, tired brain couldn’t compute what had actually happened. Bending down as it rose back up, expecting to see a closed laptop, I instead spied the colourful stripes and lines you can see in this post’s header image.

I have had a MacBook for years and have never needed Apple Care because I have always been careful. This Mac is now also out of warranty.
I dread to think how much this is going to cost to get fixed :'(
