Pretty shinies
May. 31st, 2020 08:10 pmMy new laptop arrived this afternoon. I've spent much of the evening getting it set up to my satisfaction. :D
It's funny how odd it can be to adjust to a different sized laptop keyboard, but it won't take long before I'm super comfortable with this one. And it's so nice to have a keyboard where all the keys work. :D I hadn't realized how much I use the arrow keys until they stopped working.
We thankfully had a break in the heat (a major break, today's high was in the 50s), which was nice. I'm mostly relieved that while it was cool the rain held off just long enough for me to enjoy a socially distant picnic with my sister and nephew who had to come up to get his stuff from the dorm. They had a three hour window to grab things this afternoon, and we managed to sneak in a short visit and lunch just before that.
I'm not someone who's super huggy or cuddly with everyone in real life (though I'm very fond of virtual hugs and affection), but with those I consider family and close friends I am and it was so weird not to be able to hug these two. But we managed even without that. :D
There was much talk of She-ra and how I need to catch up so they can gush about fic ideas and such without having to worry about spoilers. I'm only a few episodes into Season 4, so I do have a bit of catch up to do.
Hope everyone else is doing as okay as they can be right now in our crazy world. If you've got some extra money that you can spare, I encourage you to donate to Black Lives Matter, Minnesota Freedom Fund, or one of the other organizations on the ground working to affect positive change. Dylan O'Brien has shared a nice list of solid charities in this thread. Much love to you all. <3
