The great laptop crash and other daily foibles

Dear readers Some days are not quite like any others. Yesterday was one of those days.

It started at 5:34 a.m. – early, like all of my favorite days do (not). I awoke with the birds and had a happy thought: It’s Tuesday. I have a deadline to send two columns to newspapers today, and I wrote three columns last night.

Yay, for me, the over-achiever!

Working ahead. You can do it, Jill!

I yawned, rubbed my eyes and puttered downstairs to grab a cup of coffee and my laptop.

I wasn’t in its usual spot (the laptop, not the coffee).

Maybe I’d brought it upstairs before bed. I trudged up the steps, my legs still heavy with

By

JILL PERTLER Columnist

sleep. I scanned the bedroom, looking on the table where I typically set my computer.

No go. The table was empty.

Maybe I wasn’t seeing things. I headed back downstairs.

My activity must have woken one of my sons because he followed me down the steps.

“I can’t find my laptop,” I told him.

“Oh,” he said. “We put it over here,” as he pointed to the dining room table. “Some water got spilled on it last night.”

At first I didn’t understand the gravity of the situation. My laptop had an unfortunate run-in with water. Laptops and water don’t mix.

Water always wins.

The laptop contained my columns, but it also contained all my journal entries since my husband passed away in November. The content was more valuable than a VISA card; in a word, priceless.

I wanted to cry. (Okay, maybe I did just a little.)

It was beyond dumb of me to not have a backup, I know.

Ugh. But no amount of ughs will bring back 20,000 words of journal entries. Double ugh just the same.

Google’s advice? Let the laptop air out for 48 hours

(duh). Wait. And hope.

I did all three.

In the meantime, however, I needed a column. Just one. I no longer had the luxury of three.

I had to find a Plan B to get me through the week.

Did I mention I am moving?

Half of my belongings were still at the “old” house; the other half were at cabin at the lake.

My other computer, and only secondary source of my writing work, was at the latter – 2.5 hours away. I didn’t have any other option.

I headed toward the car and headed it toward the lake. I figured as a last ditch effort, I could send a previously published column to buy me some time until the next week.

I got to the cabin and booted

up the computer.

The mouse wouldn’t work.

I switched out the batteries, but no go. Apparently my mouse had died. What are the chances?

I headed to the store for a new mouse.

I got back and got my power cords aligned. My new mouse scurried and navigated just like a mouse is supposed to do. I was back on track.

Then my keyboard went offline. (I am not making this up.)

I tried rebooting my computer. Three times.

After a fair amount of sweat, pleading and prayer, my mouse was finally talking with the computer and the keyboard was talking with both.

I found a column and sent it to editors. My work was complete.

The day started earlier than I wanted. It included more challenges and unexpected situations than I wanted. Some might even call it a bad day.

But in the end, it turned out okay. I met my deadline.

Editors were satisfied. I lived to write another week.

On the plus side, I got some extra time at the lake, and an idea for a column.

Maybe the day wasn’t so bad after all.

Jill Pertler is an awardwinning syndicated columnist, published playwright and author. Don’t miss a slice; follow the Slices of Life page on Facebook.

Weekly connection I have my cluttered office in the basement of our house here on the farm. It’s where I go to pay bills, write sermons, study, watch sports highlights and programs about current events, prophecy and the crazy times in which we live.

There’s a file cabinet next to my desk, a bookcase in front of the old fireplace, and lots of pictures and memorabilia on the walls and mantle. Everything carries with it a plethora of memories.

I have a picture of my parents when they were about my age.

I think it was there fortieth wedding anniversary. There are some shots of our kids when

Pictures tell the stories

a trip we took to Door County and one is of us that was taken at the Sleeping Bear Dunes in By Michigan.

SCOTT Next to those, I have a CERNEK Columnist picture of my wife when she was a young girl. I love it.

There’s a family picture taken for a church directory of my they were young. I especially parents and their first six sons love one with our two daughters with all of us in suits and ties. when they were little girls I also have a shot of an old giving each other a big hug.

303 International Combine I have a picture on the wall like we used to have when we of an old grandpa with his were kids only it’s from about head bowed giving thanks for 10 years ago when one of my his soup and bread. On the brothers bought it for old times mantle I have three pictures sake. We all climbed up on it with my dad just like we used of my wife and me. One is an engagement photo; one is from to back in the day when we

were kids.

The only problem is that we are all full-grown men now and back in the day we could all fit on the platform a whole lot easier. The next picture is one of my favorites and it is of a man who looks almost exactly like my grandpa. He’s running his hands through some wheat in the field sifting out the seed to see if it’s ready for harvest.

On the picture is the same Bible verse that is on my grandpa’s headstone. The verse is Micah 6:8 He has shown you O man what is good and what does the Lord require of you, but to love mercy, to do justly and to walk humbly with Thy

God. Then I have some of my baseball memorabilia including some game balls from years of championships both playing and coaching. I have a little airplane piggy bank that my first-grade teacher, Mrs. Duckworth, gave me for being good at math. Finally, at the end of the mantle, I have a 2016 World Series champion Cubs pop can and a mug from a trip I took to Germany years ago.

Each item means so much and yet my favorite picture of all hangs on the wall directly in front of my desk and it is a picture that someone drew of the Lord Jesus lifting a laughing

baby up into the air.

Jesus has a wonderful smile on His face, and the baby’s joyful expression is priceless.

God’s fingerprints are all over my life, and His blessings are indeed boundless. For that I am beyond grateful to Him. Jeremiah 17:7-8 reads; But blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence is in Him. They will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the stream. It does not fear when heat comes; its leaves are always green.

It has no worries in a year of drought and never fails to bear fruit.

Until next week, God bless.
