battery

November4

I finally ordered a laptop battery today. I’ve been doing without – just using the power cables – since I got this computer (used). that had been working for me relatively well, but things are starting to get out of hand. it’s just impossible to work well without either 1) having an office or 2) being able to be mobile.

without an office, I have to pretty flexible about when and where I can work… most of the time I work David’s hours from David’s office. but what happens when he has to have a study session or a personal conversation with one of his students? I have to relocate. and to that, I need to be able to work from places that may or may not (as I’m discovering) have outlets.

plus, I just shouldn’t have to drag a thousand cables around with me. that’s the point of having a laptop… mobility. =)

so, I got mad enough today to do something about it.

on another front, I’ve talked to my doctor (np) on the phone about my headaches, and she thinks it’s likely they’re being caused by my medicine. so, she’s prescribing me something else (which I’ll start taking in a couple of weeks). I’m supposed to try that for a couple of months and see how things go. she told me, “I think you’ll really like *drugname*.” what does that mean? =)
