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....

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* ♥

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.
