30 Days meme - Day 19 - A Talent of Yours

Today I had a mini-breakdown because I thought Matsuka, my laptop, died. This afternoon, just like last night, it suddenly turned off for no discernible reason. I left it alone for a few hours, but when I went to turn it on in the evening ... nothing happened. I pressed the on button again and again with no response. I was panicked and beginning to cry. I went upstairs to turn on the family computer to get online and distract myself. But naturally, I couldn't get Matsuka off my mind, so I returned downstairs to check everything -- did the outlet work, did the surge protector work, was the plug in -- all were in place -- did the adapter -- oh, wait. The little green light on the adapter wasn't on. Upon further examining the adapter, I realized that the cord running into the adapter had been knocked loose -- it wasn't hanging out enough to be obvious from just a glance, but it wasn't properly in its slot. Ohhh. The gentle whirring of a booting computer has never sounded so sweet.
