Okay... cautiously optimistic...

I decided to give my laptop one more try... this time, after putting in my password, it blue screened me, but restarted before I could read what exactly the screen said. Well, when it came back up, instead of the normal 'safe mode', 'safe mode with networking' and 'start normally' options for a hard reboot, it had a 'start up repair' option. So, I did the repair, and guess what? It started up just fine! Everything is working and I am posting from my laptop right now... so... I'm cautiously optimistic that it's okay... I'm saving the most important stuff (new fic chapters, nano files, other original works) to my flash drive just in case, but... I'm gonna hold off on calling the repair guys unless this happens again... I am SO glad I tried again instead of just taking it to get it fixed and spending money that I may not need to! (Yes, I do know the problem may re-occur, and if it does, then off to the shop it goes, but... I'm hoping it won't...)

Anyway, I will have the most important stuff backed up by the time I go to bed, and I will have less reason to panic just in case... lol...
