The AC Itself Is Fixed!!

The AC itself is fixed!!

... but our thermostat is also shot and needs replacing. Thankfully that's relatively easy compared to the motor.

Finally my arctic habitat is returning to normal.

I remember

Please tell me you guys remember this

I want to get back into writing again.

My laptop got lost when when we moved about 4 years ago. We simply just, never found it.

I'm facing the concept of just getting a new one but I'm really overwhelmed by all the choices and conflicting reviews of the current market.

Does anyone here have any advice or suggestions on what laptop is best for primarily writing?

The only criteria really is I do well with the solid, larger laptops vs those small/travel/take apart ones. I have to be able to use my trackball mouse as well.

I've missed writing for years. So many books unfinished. I just... I cannot let them collect any more dust. Not to mention bursting with new material waiting to be written. I miss the creative outlet I once did every day if not every week. It's time. I just need to find the right equipment.

So medication from the ER was sent to my pharmacy, unknowingly right before they closed... for the weekend.

So I managed to find ONE pharmacy open today. Called the ER back. They changed where they sent the scripts. All good. Until.

Husband became too sick to drive up to grab them. I called my grandmother (who I REALLY did not want to bother) to ask if she had free time/energy today for such a task.

She did, bless her, and told me she would throw herself together once we hung up and she'd go get it. While I was on that call, I had missed a call from my mother. So I called her back.

She was out and about, and happened to be right up the street from said pharmacy. So SHE said she could grab it. So we got off the phone and I called my grandma back, to let her know hey this worked out!! All was well.

Mom drove through, got my meds, and was going to head my way. Then her car started making sudden, loud, concerning noises. She called her husband (who's a mechanic) and he instructed her to go straight home.

She called me to let me know. I told her about the brief plan for grandma to do it so I'd ask if she was STILL willing/able. Called her. We just. Laughed. Cuz what else could we do about this ridiculousness.

Grandma picked up my meds from mom, and is now on her way to us.

*exasperated sigh*

We cannot catch a break apparently!!!

(Btw thermostat still hasn't been replaced partly due to all this sickness and partly because I guess we can't actually do it afterall?? Has to be the tech?? Idk. Idc at this point. Just want the house, and our bodies, to be working again T_T )

I am utterly captivated by this video series that Taryn Delanie and friends have been making on TikTok
