My Single Mom Life

I posted this late last night to the work forums so people knew why I wouldn't be around much.
Took it to Geek Squad, was hoping it was just the power supply.
It's not.
Well, it is the power supply AND the motherboard.
My motherboard is dead, it actually started to smolder while they had it plugged in.
They will be able to save all of my files and transfer them when I get a new pc, but mine has gone to computer heaven, it's totally, truly dead.
No clue what to do, i cannot afford a new one until tax time, so for now the teens and I will be sharing theirs which sucks because it hurts to sit in here the way they have their pc hooked up.
The monitor is on a desk, the keyboard on a tray, and I know, that sounds normal, most people use the computer that way.
But I have my desktop pc on a desk, my monitor on the desk, and I sit in a chair with my feet up and the keyboard in my lap because that's the only way using the pc is comfortable for me because of my neck and head issue.
Sitting at their desk like this, the chair is really low, so it hurts my neck and shoulder muscles really bad to sit and type like this.
After just a few minutes trying to work like this, my neck and shoulder muscles are on fire and all I've done is write 1 email and this, a grand total of 7 minutes, and I am in agony.
Having to try and work like this until I can buy a new pc is going to really f'n suck.
But it must be done.
No work, no money to make to buy a new pc right?
I'll just have to work as much as I can when I can, when the teens are not on theirs, and try to keep the pain down as much as possible with my meds.

I will be around as much as possible when possible.

That was last night.
Today, a friend is bringing me a loaner desktop so that the teens and i don't have to share theirs, and then a friend called really late, but I'm always awake anyway, so not a big deal.
But the friend said that I had an early Christmas present coming and to let her know when it arrives which should be sometime this week I think she said.
I couldn't stop thanking her, I really didn't know what I was going to do, I have to have a computer to work on, it's how I make a living, I was almost in tears as the Geek Squad guy told me what was wrong, how bad it was, and because he felt bad about it, he didn't even charge me for the diagnostics which they usually do.
So things will work out, I'll have a loaner until the new one arrives so that I don't have to be in pain trying to share one with the teens.

I'm off to the doctors in a little bit, but I did want to say Happy Birthday to my Mom!
I love you and miss you, and everybody just loved your fudge! hahaha
I think I gave some to everyone who came over, and they all loved it
I hope you have a good day today Mom, have a happy birthday!

Ok, time to get busy and ready to leave.
Later days
