Day 45: I even ate my vegetables!

Why does technology hate me? My computer wouldn't turn on for about 45 minutes. Then I finally got it to come on, but it had to run the hard drive disk check, which took an hour. Then it failed, so it had to run it AGAIN! Another hour gone! After the second check was over, it didn't turn back on. Did I mention I haven't backed up my files for over 7 months?? Who's the dummie now? Sad news is that I will probably have to get a new hard drive.
I love spending money on things that should not be broken after owning them for only a year and 2 months! (note the sarcasm).
