State of Being: relieved
Song lyric in my head:
current desire:
where am I?: in the living room on the other couch
what's that noise?: my crazy neighbors outside.
So I am excited to report that i am officially on vacation. I don't go back until the 11th. life is good.
unfortunately two days ago, my lap-top decided it was a good time to break on me. The little part where you plug in the charger doesn't work. Russ finally figured out it can charge, but only when the computer is off... and upside down... So I can only be on for as long as the battery lasts, and there's no guarantee it will charge again.
I had a choice to either spend about 10 dollars to buy a part online that will probably fix it, but no guarantee. BUT it won't arrive until next week, so I will have to spend the majority of my vacation without a computer. And I was planning on doing A LOT of writing. I really want to get this novel finished. .. or my other option was to wait until i get paid wednesday or thursday and buy a new lap-top. I found a decent one on sale for $238. And it really is about time for a new lap-top. This one is a few years old and has some wiring problems. Every once in a while, the screen breaks out in green pixels. It just started in the last few months, so i had been slowly talking myself into getting a new computer. I really hate parting with things. It's in my hoarding nature to keep things forever or as long as possible. Have you ever seen Hoarders? The people in that show aren't exaggerating. The anxiety really is real. Even yesterday, Russ showed me a plate with a chip in it and wanted to throw it away. My heart started beating. Tears were forming. It was pretty pitiful. lol. but it's real. He somehow did this psychology voodoo on me and convinced me it was my decision to throw it way by giving me a choice, but pretty much choosing for me. lol Hey that plate had belonged to my grandparents. I ate off it as a kid in their house. But yeh. it got thrown away.
What was I talking about before I digressed? Oh yeh. Computer. So i was really starting to lean towards just buying a new lap-top. I had one picked out. This morning, I turn on the lap-top just to get online for a little bit when the keyboard didn't work. I brought it out to Russ who said it must've happened when he took it apart yesterday. He ended up fixing it. I inquired about the piece that we could order that could possibly fix it. And I decided just to order the piece. If I did have some access to the lap-top for a couple hours at a time a day throughout the day, that's amazing. I could spend the other time doing other things. Reading. Rearranging the wall. I love having picture on my wall, but haven't done any redecorating in a few years. I could do a puzzle! I've been really wanting to do a puzzle lately. Lot's of options. And I could still get some writing done. And maybe it would prevent me from wasting all my brainpower on the internet.
So the part can be in as early as Wednesday. Or next week. who knows.
We're heading up to GA to see my mom and Brad on Thursday.  I'm so excited!
10 days to remember who I am. I'm mel. Not some employee.
anyway, I only have limited time to type. So this is a short entry.
omg my neighbors are so loud and obnoxious. Now they're fighting. Or he bitching about his wife. I dunno. this is pretty much a nightly occurrence. The other night, the lady was yodeling. Now the guy is making elongated siren sounds. This apartment building has had its list of weirdos throughout the years.
peace!
