Ok, so it has been a few days since my last post. I have an explanation, I swear! I came down with some weird stomach bug this weekend, and had to call out of work two days and pretty much just sat around not eating for three days. I probably was strong enough to blog, but I just couldn't bring myself to do anything. That's alright when you're sick.
But today I have some exciting news! A couple weeks ago, my dad ordered a new Mac book Pro, and it came in the mail the day he after he left for London. Then, when he got back, he became ill and had to spend a few days recovering. Then, he began transferring all of his files from his old laptop to his new laptop, and encountered ALL KINDS of difficulties, and we had to take it today to the Genius Bar at our closest Mac store. It took Umar, our Genius, about an hour to straighten everything out, but we finally got everything switched over. WHICH MEANS....I get my dad's old laptop! A nice, brand-new (to me) Mac book Pro, only three years old but in absolute mint condition. After months of dealing with my old Dell, that sometimes didn't turn on and had 0 seconds of battery life, this is BLISS! I know it might be materialistic, shallow, whatever, but its just so nice to have a working piece of machinery that is mine, that I can carry around and save things on. As my boyfriend put it, its like having a home again. And while that may be hyperbole, I definitely get the sentiment.
So, here's to working computers, and having things that are your own!
You've got the Mac?? Nice!
