So here I sit at the Saturn dealer with the huginormous laptop on my lap. Fortunately
\n Saturn now has wifi. Unfortunately, my mac’s battery died last night. Or at least
\n I discovered it last night. I noticed that it was unplugged on Sunday when it
\n went black screen on me. I’m not sure who twiddled the power cable. Since then,
\n the battery holds only 3%. It shutsdown and loses all sense within 5 minutes
\n of having been turned on. I’m less than pleased, but it is a very old laptop.
\n I think that I’ve had it for 5 or 6 years, well beyond the usable life of the
\nthing. I guess I really am going to have to find teh money to buy a new mac now. <\/p>\n
While I’m sitting here, my car is receiving updates so that I can drive to Chicago
\nin a bit for CCCC. It needs an oil change, traansmission service, and brake fluid
\nflush (and presumably replace). $221. After this, I’m going to Target to see
\nif I can find a more usable bag. I can never manage to pack properly. I’m going
\nto have to rethink everything again : ( But regardless, since it would make no
\nsense to bring the mac, I have to take a rolling bag for this win machine. That
\nputs my stuff in really inconvenient places, so I need to find a purse or tote
\nor something so that I don’t have to get down on the floor every time I want
\na pen.<\/p>\n
After that little trip, it’s home to finish packing and off to Chicago. We have
\na snow day today, so I don’t have to go to the office (woohoo!). According to
\nmy NPR meteorologist, the weather north of here is fine, just blowing a bit;
\nso the drive should be okay. Possibly a little slow. Regardless I"m bound to
\nget out of here sooner than I originally thought since I don’t have to go in
\nto the office at all. I thought I’d have to work today and then leave after work.
\nIt will be nice to get a head start on the trip during the daylight hours. <\/p>\n
I must have a million partially done entries for this blog. Maybe I’ll have some time this evening to catch up once I’m in Chicago.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
