We’re still missing our desktop. Luckily, a darling old friend has fixed it for us, but we forgot the power cord, which means we’re still on the laptop. That’s not a bad thing. But it’s strange to be so without what you’re used to. Freelance is piling up. Blog posts are piling up. Life is piling up. Today my electronic gadgets all died on the way home as I had just finished my book — that meant I had nothing to read while waiting and waiting and waiting for a Tamil-stopped streetcar.
This morning, I woke up at 4:36 AM and couldn’t get back to sleep. Good for the garden, because it meant I had time to head outside before getting the morning routine started, and water the plants with the rain barrel versus the hose. Bad for actually being awake. The day started and ended off in a haze… and now I’m sucked into the last episode of America’s Next Top Model.
