a few months ago, my cat spilled water on my laptop.
when it happened, i was upset, but i didn't think too much about it.
i cleaned up the spill as best as i could and put it in front of my floor fan.
it seems ignorant now, but at the time i hoped that the problem could be fixed
by cleaning up the mess on the surface.

a few days went by, and it started to short circuit.
i could use it normally, but bright flashes of light would come from the touchbar at irregular intervals.
my friend told me the hardware was likely corroding as time went on.

after about a month or so, it started to shut down unexpectedly.
it would always bring itself back, but there would be a moment of complete interruption.
as i type on it now, i wonder to myself:
how many more shut downs does it have left in it?
how many more times can it come back and try again?
