Laptop acquired

[clevermanka]

Thanks to y'all's advice and Former Coworker A (who was my go-between with the computer store in Kansas City) I'm typing this on a new Lenovo i5 laptop. Thanks to the store giving me full credit for the return (including the cost of the extended warranty) and the people who've sent me money, all but $35 of the cost is covered.

Moments like this feel really good. 🕯️Gratitude Gratitude Gratitude 🕯️

I just posted an Autumn Equinox ritual on my Patreon that's open to the public.

I have a lot to say about Original Novel, the progress thereof, but writing that ritual wiped me out and I've got a 4pm phone call scheduled so I'm gonna lie down now.

YAY YAY YAY YAY YAY!!!! I hope your Lenovo is as good to you as mine have been to me! Wishing you happy writing, a restorative lie-down, and a good phone call.

Infinite yay for the new laptop! May it be your trusty and cooperative companion for years to come. (I'm so glad the store gave you the credit--as they bloody well should have, but still, it's a relief.)

Such a relief!

Oh good, I'm glad you got something new and the store wasn't dickish about it!

I mean they probably would've been but I put on my sweet-yet-adamant voice with the sales manager and was like "Look. I worked in IT in the 90s. I worked retail. I worked computer retail. I know how this goes and this is what I'd like you to do, please." And it worked!

Hey, whatever it takes!

yay!

[clevermanka]

Yay indeed!
