Without a home computer...

[paragraphs]

Life is very...different.

I am starting to anxious and fretty because I haven't written in days and days.  And days.   This robbery really has driven us around a corner, but thank heavens talekyn was in town and we were able to spend lots of time with him. That was a real treat, let me tell you!  I wish that he'd come by more often than once a year or so. Pout.  But we got to see him Friday night after the ballet (oh that was fun) and Saturday for dinner and psychological testing (ask N if there any questions on that) and last night we met for a leisurely dinner and a cute waiter (CODY!) and  talked books and writing and life.  Talk about a few hours of heaven.

 

The insurance check is on the way, but a bit less than I'd hoped. Which sucks, but we'll be able to get some good laptops out of it. The one Nick wants is a little more than the one I want, but likely will let him have it because it will transfer well to Germany (so says the company...hmmm...).  Anyone here use a laptop in the US and abroad, exchanging out adaptors?  The company SWEARS that Nick just has to get the German adaptor and the computer will not explode.  Hmmm.  I want to be sure of that before we buy a laptop but Nick can get so much more bang for the buck here.  Computers are more there for some reason.  Argh.

Anyway. 

I'm waiting for Cody (not the waiter one mentioned above) to walk over here and fix Kelly's computer real quick.  That has been another fiasco.  Truly truly.  I just can't even talk about it, I am so freakin' annoyed with cyberpower.com, that built it.  Idiots.  Just needed to replace the power supply and they lied and sent it late then didn't fix the damn computer and did not send the right power supply--ARGH!  So I wiped out my checking account (get paid tomorrow) to get a solid good excellent one, and say SCREW YOU CYBERPOWER!!!!!

And oh, yeah.  My outside a/c unit is failing.  Loverly.  A/C guy coming tonight--$365.00 to fix it, but that is not bad really. 

Seriously--one thing or another, huh. 

I need a hug.

(and a check in the mail would help matters also)
 

C, contemplating how horrid it would be if that check doesn't arrive before Monday....

Chris took his laptop to England with him. Bought the power converter here before he left. It should work fine.
Sorry about all the problems. :(
*hugs* ♥

I am going to call the Company in Question and ask a second person, just to make sure. Germany has their own kind of plugs and a different voltage but ours overlaps theirs barely...I don't want to buy this dream computer and then have it go sky high. LOL. Eek. :)

I hope he is enjoying being Dad in LondoN! Is it London where they went?

[klgrem.livejournal.com]

That would be terrible, yes. :|

I hope Chris is enjoying it. Haven't heard from him since Tuesday. I'm trying not to freak out.
According to a friend of mine, it is, unfortunately, the most expensive part of London. :(
But yes. Royal Holloway University of London.
They are at a bed and breakfast and will get a two bedroom apartment on campus, but rent and such is still expensive.
Hopefully he can get a job to help with expenses.

*Fights a migraine that doesn't want to leave*

ahhh but will he be allowed to work there? That is the question!!!!!!! Don't freak--am sure he is fine. :)

{hugs you tight}
I cross my fingers for you

[paragraphs.livejournal.com]

all will be well if that check would come before the computer I want goes off sale... :)

Ok, maybe the a/c unit is the third bad thing. Bad things happen in 3s. I think you've just had your fill for the YEAR. Seriously. Nothing else bad can happen to C this year, ok!?!?! I forbid it!!!

:(

I s'pose it could be worse. I hope you can feel safe again in your home. Anything happening with/to the kid who did it?!

[paragraphs.livejournal.com]

LOL yeah, I'll take it! I'm done with my three! It is only 365.00 to replace the motor though, cuz I have the best a/c guys in the world. Son and pop operation--they are wonderful.

I doubt anything happens to the boy, it is under 5 grand so they don't care. It sucks but there you go...BUT Kelly has told the whole school about it, and Kelly is popular...the kid is not. Heh.

Thanks!

Mewantsmynewcomputer NOW!

Mee too; I just realized the other day my computer is more than seven years old, it's ancient in computer years!

Mondo hugs. I need them too. Locked myself out of my car today and lost two hours at work because it my damn cellphone was in the car and had to traipse to office to call AAA and then traipse back and then wait.

Then I had to get a mammogram.

Ugh.

::SQUEEZES::

Nuts nuts the world is nuts huh. You should've knocked on a door!!!!

The little slice of heaven was being with the two of you, my friend. I'm blushing over here.

If it WAS waiter-Cody coming to fix the laptop, I would marvel at your networking skills. And no, I did NOT loop back to La Hacienda and pretend I lost something in the booth just to chat with him. Don't let that rumor get around.

Oh but Anthony, now you gave yourself away.

How was he? *g*

[paragraphs.livejournal.com]

I would say 'but Anthony, he was too young for you' but... um... LOL. Yeah.

He was a bit dorky but that's why he was fun. LOL.

[talekyn.livejournal.com]

In my dreams, he was marvelous ... *g*

Oh my god, I'm sorry I've been absent and so sorry to hear what you've been going through. I wish I could help or at least give you that hug in person, but a virtual one will have to suffice. My thoughts are with you!

*lots of warm, comforting hugs* ♥

[paragraphs.livejournal.com]

Awww no worries! Take it all in stride--easy to do since Nick is here, and Anthony (Talekyn) was here all weekend to play with. This weekend though? YIKES! That check better be in the mail today! Or tomorrow! Else we will have to wait until Monday. Pout.
