oh no!

Misjudged my centre of gravity and spilled a little water over the laptop keyboard yesterday evening. I still don't have a desk set up, so was doing some work on the bed. Some touchpad and persistent keyboard malfunctions later, I shut it down. It shut down gracefully, but wouldn't power back up. The computer is now drying out.

I've ordered a hard drive enclosure for my HDD, which stayed dry. (the one I have doesn't fit the Hitachi Travelstar in the DELL) to be delivered tomorrow (i.e. ASAP).

Trying to keep my composure. So much to do, so little time, so powered out that I can't work weekends anymore.

I had to hold my breath when I read the first sentence of your post - I thought you meant a different kind of water. As in "water breaking"... >_<

Anyway, I hope your compluter is okay. They usually work fine after they dry out. But don't forget that your body is still working full time. Making a baby is a lot of work. Please make sure you get your rest. :)

I was almost going to renege on my resolution not to work weekends anymore,but then I made my husband promise to force me to keep it ;)
