Fear and loathing -

I'm picking up the new glasses today. MY FIRST PAIR OF BIFOCALS WHEE.

Fuckit. They're Vera Wang, should be very classy and nobody will know. Once again, I'll be able to see down the road, and the dashboard inside the car again. Maybe.

Hope they don't make me seasick. That'll be expensive. First I pay for the glasses, then I pay for the cleaning bill - and then new clothes. No. Don't want to.

I raided the old and nearly worn out archives for a computer bag I could use until I can put some decent money towards a new one - I got a really cheap-ass bag after Christmas to put the laptop Jim got me in, promising myself I'd upgrade within a few months.

Well, in a few months, I wore it out to falling apart. THAT cheap-ass.

Old and nearly worn out, had served me well through three other laptops? Even had the postcards and room bill receipt from our wedding trip to Hawaii in 2001 still in it?

The cats had used it for a pee box. THANK YOU VERY MUCH AUGH.

So the computer still sits on the kitchen table, its peripherals still littered around it. I need to go find something to put my computer in. And slather it with Tiger Balm.

Also, in the news - another family using our agency got their referral yesterday and posted pictures to the Yahoo group. I think their LID was 10/27/05. You do the math. (But what a cutie - jealous, moi? Why not!)

Let me look around and see if I have a 'free' serviceable laptop bag I can donate. I recall seeing one in a closet that fit my older laptop but not my new widescreen version. I could possibly leave it at your Mom's place if that would help. I'll return sometimes this weekend to this post and let you know if I can locate it.

I'll look this weekend and let you know what I find.

I found it....

I found a nice IKON brand bag, with shoulder strap. Black. It should do your laptop proud. Now you have to email me an address to drop it in Hemet...
