my tired old laptop

Last night I thought my computer had died completely - and me, here, without a backup - eeekkkk! 

I couldn't take the trauma of it so I went to bed and pretended it was fine.  When I got up this morning I waited - again with the ignoring of the trauma - until Stella took a nap today and tried to boot the little beast.  Hooray!   

First thing I did was back up just about every bit of info on the computer.  

But, just in case I don't show up here for a very long time. . . it could be that it happened again. Poor thing has been making some moaning noises for quite some time now.  

We'll see how long we can stick it out  : )

Sounds like your Hard Drive is going.
I don't know what rates are like up there, but it's still cheaper to get a new hard drive than laptop generally. See if you can find someone that does free diagnostics to test and see if you have Read or SMART failures.
