The computer mystery deepens

So I had been getting increasing WHEA errors and noticed that computers are much more expensive, but I bought one anyway and then I had to return it. That was where we left things off, and as I was trying to pack up my old computer's data for transit to the new computer I plugged in some of the old hard drives I had, which meant I finally plugged things into every USB slot I had.

That was two weeks ago and...I've had one crash since then, about two weeks ago. I've played games for hours, let my computer sit while I was out of the house, I've been idly browsing the web, and nothing.

Was it a bad USB controller freaking out while it was idle? Was there a short and by plugging and unplugging things did I jiggle the cables around? Did the new computer scare my old computer into good behavior? Who knows. I'll just ride the wave as long as I can.

So Laila spent some time at the grandparents over the weekend, which was good because I got a nasty cold that knocked me out most of the weekend. I had meant to spend it cleaning up some of the post-game content in Clair Obscur, but what actually happened is that I started dragging on Friday night, woke up Saturday morning and helped pass off Laila to Poppa and Nana. Then after lunch, with no energy, I thought "Oh I'll just go lie down for twenty minutes or so, then I'll feel better."

What happened is that I fell asleep for two hours and then when [instagram.com profile] sashagee checked, I had a fever. So I spent the next couple days recovering and not accomplishing any of things I wanted to get done while Laila was out of town, spent yesterday and today working from home, and now when my nose has finally stopped running my throat is hurting and it's not from too much coughing. Sigh.

That meme I saw was right. I did used to think I had a good immune system before I became an abba, but it was just that I didn't have anyone around who would frequently cough directly into my open mouth. Emoji Uncertain ~ face
