givemashot - 2010-03-23 12:50 AM Whew! I am here! I have been having some issues with my laptop, the mousepad has been acting funny, and then last night I noticed the "clicker" wouldn't click very well. I have been using my wireless keyboard and mouse, but a few minutes ago, as I was posting, my computer shut off. That's not the first time today. Luckily I flipped it over to check the battery
(I just unplugged it, it couldn't POSSIBLY be a dead battery already...
) and what do you know... the battery was EXPANDING, and was DOA. Wow. My poor little lap coulda/woulda been a little burnt in mere moments. Thank heavens my hubby is home, and he gave me the spare battery for his laptop.
What else is going on in my neck of the woods? I have been having alot of fatigue and memory problems lately, as well as a slow, steady weight gain, despite being better about my diet. Long story short, my doc thinks I might have sleep apnea, and ordered an overnight pule oximetry and a slew of blood work. :/ My hubby is in town, which was unexpected this week. My parents and my hubby are all going out of town ON MY BIRTHDAY next week, so we had my birthday party last night. What else? Oh, yeah, I decided to go ahead and be on the directing committee for the new marathon in my neck of the woods. I am in charge of marketing. **eek** Thank heavens for an experienced committee and an RD who doesn't sleep much. I will learn a TON, I am sure.

I missed you guys.
Glad you got to stop by a bit.
I'm glad you didn't have a battery explosion on your laptop. Is it still under warranty?
I also hope that it is nothing more than apnea. Take care. Let us know how it goes.
