Charged up

My old laptop battery finally died it’s final death last week, and my new one came last night. This is the first laptop I’ve owned long enough to kill 2 batteries. *knocks on wood* I’m hoping this battery doesn’t live longer than the laptop. I’m glad to have it working again. Things like google reader and and facebook and twitter and chat – I’ve usually got those open on the laptop, not the desktop.

Batteries are so freaking expensive. In the back of my head I hear this voice saying “for what you spent for the battery, you were a quarter of the way to a Netbook.” Hush, voice of extravagance. I don’t need a Netbook. But they sure are shiny.

Netbook

Writing – not enough this week. 2700 words this week so far, plus a synopsis about half finished. I don’t know if I’ll get much progress this weekend, but I’m going to at least finish the synopsis by tomorrow night.

Princess came down with some sort of cold / fever and came home from school early yesterday. I’m running around behind her with sanitizer, trying to keep the germs away from Sean. He’s got a trip coming up in a few days and I’m trying to keep him healthy until then.
