It was a long weekend… and not in a good way. Well it really is a long weekend, but I had lots of work to do, so it was extra long(!)
Saturday began with a run/walk – c25k week 1, run 2. Yep, I haven’t been keeping up with it according to the program schedule. But I did the same routine as Tuesday last week – 5 minute warm up, 1 minute run, 1.5 minute walk (x8) and 5 minute cool down. I think it might have been a tiny bit easier than Tuesday, and it was raining and miserable. So I was pretty pleased I knocked it over.
Then came the dramas. We haven’t had internet for a week or so, which is frustrating, but not manageable as I have internet on my phone. But, Saturday, my laptop decided to stop charging – it had been playing up for a couple of weeks, but if the cord was positioned just right, it was okay. But, this was the case no longer – and I was freaking out. With the last of the battery, I tried to back up my laptop, but it cut out before it finished. I was pretty sure it was a laptop issue, not a cord issue (making things pretty complicated). And on top of that, my laptop has a statistical program on it that I need for my thesis, which costs $$$ and I didn’t have another copy. The laptop is rented so could easily get a loaner, but doesn’t solve the program problem.
Anyway, you get the point – I was freaking out. 3 weeks till deadline, I did not need it.
So hoping for the best, Mr. J took a distressed me holding on to my laptop as if it were life or death, to Harvey Norman. The computer guy tried an adaptor thingy, and success, it still charged – so it is just a cord issue. After a few attempts he found one in stock that matched mine, and … disaster averted.
He asks, are your assignments due – and I was like errr… “THESIS” … the relief was pretty crazy.
So a long story short - no excuses now, back to work I go
