Wow you are brave Megan, this is something few would attempt, but like they say "Necessity is the mother of invention!" 
Hmmmmm we're going to have to work on that unladylike potty mouth,
yes you Baby Doll!
I'm impressed, good job! 
A couple years ago I had to take apart my mom's laptop because the power cord was not only too giggly but was overheating and the smell of burning components inside of the laptop had made it become a possible fire hazard. I ordered a new part, took it all apart, took out the somewhat melted power thingy inside the laptop and replaced with new one. Was better after that. For a little bit. My mom's laptop had issues early on, sound in one speaker never worked (didn't realize this being why the volume never seemed to go very loud until much later on), webcam also overheated even when not in use, I had to cut the wires to that. It was a mess and while I was able to keep it going a little bit longer, it eventually just died. I've been sharing mine ever since with her.
Sounds wonderful Shan. I'd so love to see a whale in the wild like that. I never cook to any recipes, aside from quick meals, I do food the lazy way, store bought, but sounds delish.

Ooh, dark and stormy night, last night into the wee hours of the morning, lightning crashing, thunder rolling and rain coming down in sheets as thick as lead. Mom woke me up at some point, scared out of her wits, oh come on mom, its just thunder. Well I don't like it, she says. Boom after boom, bright flashes accompanying every explosion. She's like, how can you sleep through that? I don't know, I just do. And so after getting up to get a drink and pee, got back into bed and dozed off to the drummer in the sky.
Had to go to my doctor's office to pick up a slip for blood test orders this morning. But didn't rush out, figure we'll have enough time to get there, me run in and get it and get back before I have to go to work. We left out a little after 9, after I had made a call to be sure it was ready for me to pick up. Once there I rush in, tell the lady at the desk, she greeted me by name, same sweet thing that was there last time, and gave me the blood work paper. I asked her if I had to pay there or when I go to get it done. She said there. So she gives me the total, I forget exactly but it was around $240 something. Huh!? But he told me in email that it'd only be $70 for one of the tests and $100 for the other. She said it was for 4 tests. Well, I can't afford that right now, I don't have enough money. She apologized and said not to worry, we'll get it worked out, she'll get with the doctor once he comes in later. So took the paper and left kind of upset, but what could I do. Just have to wait and see what can be worked out. I can always call and pay over the phone once I come up with the difference for those other tests. Once home I checked that email again, $70 for two tests, a hundred for another, that only makes three total. But maybe I didn't understand the $70, that it could have been for each, not both tests, seems to add up to what she told me. Ah, oh well, will get to that later since I'm short anyway. No big deal, its not like its an emergency.
Just 10 minutes home, getting ready to eat something before going to work, mom tells me my store called. Oh geez, what now, truck came early, truck isn't coming until later, or truck not coming at all? I call back, old boss dude answers, I ask what's up, he tells me the truck is there now. Okay, well, I'll be in as soon as I can, half hour or so. I'm so tired of this being on call, never knowing for sure when to go in on truck days. I didn't rush out the door to work either, took my time, I was told originally noon, so I don't care if I'm a few minutes later than 11:30. Mom drove me in. Got to work, went to my locker, got my work clothes out that I left there, went into the restroom to change out of my denim capris and cute little floral dress, putting on rough, dirty clothes for the job to match. Oh, the good driver is here today, hadn't seen him in a while, this should go well then. Also, no sun really today, but it still did get humid. Got the truck done pretty quickly, good because I'm so backed up on HBC it'd take a miracle to catch up, get it all out, all of last weeks load and today's. Probably 5 u-boats worth of merchandise for that area, I got 1 full one done with the 3 hours I had to work it. Will just have to continue where I left off tomorrow morning.
Changed out of my work clothes, back into my pretty girly outfit. I told mom I'd be ready for about 5:10 when she had dropped me off, but I forgot when I told her that I wasn't going in for noon but 11:30, so figured save her the trouble of having to come and get me, I'll walk home. Bad time to walk, road is very busy, everyone trying to get home from work, all in a rush, some not paying attention. I press the walk button at the lights on the main road, a few minutes later get the signal, I step out slowly, watching out the corner of my left eye a car that appeared to be in a rush, and sure enough the jerk the moment her/she has a chance takes off to turn, not paying any attention that a pedestrian is there with the right a way to cross. Comes to an abrupt stop, as I had myself just an instant before thinking I was about to be run down, I muttered a curse word and kept crossing. I hate crossing streets, so much worst with traffic in 4 different directions, never know who'll not be paying attention and that could be it, one moment you're alive, the next, roadkill, alongside the squirrels and deer.
Good, mom didn't leave out yet to come and get me. I was worried she'd come early and we'd miss each other. Mom asked why I walked home, why didn't I call, she could've came and got me. Eh, too much trouble, by the time you got there I could've been home. Snickers is on the rag, time already? Uh, guess so, last time was what, December, January? More dealing with blood, oh well, that's what peroxide comes in handy for. Could've gotten her fixed long ago, even still, but both my mom and I don't like that idea much, so she bleeds a little here and there, it cleans up, and she is conscience of it too and tries to keep clean. Also she humps her plush toys and blankets, oh well, better than taking her female parts away just for our convenience. Only'd do it if it compromised her health, otherwise, she's an indoor dog, so its not like we need worry she's going to get knocked up and have puppies.
Mom returned the last videos we'd gotten from the library after she dropped me off at work, got some more, so guess we'll be watching some of those later. Actually she already got started while I've been sitting here typing up my day. Actual she fell asleep to the movie, Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters, sounds kinda lame to me, I've only just been hearing it as background noise since I'm busy here, not ready to watch movies until I can pull away from my laptop for a bit. I can't multitask in watching a movie and do something else at the same time.
Okay, so end of the night is almost through, just finished watch the Man of Steel. Uh, yeah. Felt like I was watching some bizarre sci-fi movie with someone that looks like Superman but isn't. Only thing keeping me watching was just out of curiosity of how it'll turn out, but that's a one time deal there. Not good at all, can't think of anything redeeming about the movie at all. I could've spent quality time on here instead typing to a friend.
