Did I mention I sold my Itouch a while back? A girl I work with wanted one, and I needed some cash to try to catch up on some bills.
It worked out well for both of us, in my opinion.
(Well, except I seem to be no further ahead in the whole bill department. And, I’m out an Itouch.)
Do I miss it? Sure I do.
Hello?! It was super cool to be all slick, usin’ my wifi and crap, listenin’ to my def jamz while chillin’ on the back porch.
(Yeah, I really just wrote that sentence.)
I’ll definitely miss it when it comes to be the real and true Spring, where we can sit outside for hours.
But, it was only an Itouch. It wasn’t vital to my existence.
(I keep repeating that to myself when I’m going through Itouch withdrawls, btw.)
(Tangent, here: My spell check says that withdrawls should be two words… I always thought it was only one word. Who’s right here?)
Anyway…
Tom’s got an old laptop that I’ve been attempting to wipe clean. The poor thing is slower than snot, has no battery life, and doesn’t… for some reason… connect to our wifi.
I’ve managed to clear a lot of crap off of it, speeding it up quite a bit. And, although having a battery that would hold a charge would be nice, there’s a plug-in outside.
But, the whole lack of wifi thing? That might drive me nuts.
Think I can run an Ethernet cord all through my house and out my back door to connect to this old laptop? I might give it a try in a couple of weeks when the weather finally turns nice.
Of course, I’d have to buy a flippin’ Ethernet cord that’ll reach from the router in the bedroom to out the back door.
Thaaaaat seems practical!
OMG
Is this? can it be? TWO POSTS in TWO DAYS?
Sheila are you OK? is there someone there who can take your temperature?
I will send Chicken noodle soup ASAP
Aaand, I commented on YOUR blog.
Aaand, I replied to your comment here!
it’s spelled “withdrawal” – extra a – so yeah, “with drawls” or “withdrawals”…
I sold a computer before moving back to California and my GOD it is way more complicated to wipe something clean than I had thought!
Ah, thanks Vicki! Don’t know why my spell check didn’t throw me that clue. Of course, now that I see it spelled out, I remember.
Hilly – Thankfully, I don’t need it wiped completely clean. Just working on taking off a whole bunch of unnecessary stuff that’s slowing it down.
