Monday - Warmish but cloudy
I woke up this morning when my alarm went off. Soon after, I got a text from Apple to say that my computer was on its way. I got dressed and it’s a good thing that I did as a few minutes later I heard the doorbell. I verily ran down the stairs and opened the door. My lovely new computer was here!
I took it upstairs and opened the box. The computer was so cold that it must have sat in a truck all night or something. I decided that I should leave it alone for a while and let it warm up.
It was hard, but I managed to put it aside for then. I grabbed my breakfast quite late and ate it, then ended up taking a bit of a nap.
In the afternoon I finished a book I was reading and then I went downstairs and got my lunch. I had rather a big one today. I finished the pasta from Friday. It was good.
Around 4:30 I decided that I had to try to start up my new computer so I did. I also tried to move the information from my old one to my new one. I got it done, but it gave me a start at first when it said that it would take 15 hours. What? Happily for me, it speeded up, but it did take more than an hour all told. When F called I told him what I was doing and that dinner might be a tad late as I didn’t want to leave my computer in the middle of booting up.
Finally, just a minute or two before 6 pm, it finished and I was able to turn it off for a while. I went downstairs and got on with dinner.
Tonight I did chicken wings in the air fryer and we had them with some pilaf that needed using up from the freezer, local baby greens (so yummy) and a bit of kimchi. Dinner seemed to be popular even though it was a bit late.
After dinner, I got on with the dishes. They didn’t take too long as I didn’t have any pots, just my air fryer. I listened to my podcasts and all was right with my world. When I finished, I told F that I was going upstairs and then did so. I did a few more things with my computer trying to get it set up as I like it. After that, I went downstairs and took a shower.
When I came out of the shower, I found a text from my sister. She’d sent my birthday present via Amazon and they’d left it outside my door…probably! I checked the door and there was a huge, but very light box just outside the door. I think it must have arrived while we were eating dinner, or possibly a little earlier. Happily, it didn’t rain this evening, so the box was in good condition. I brought it up to our room and left it. It isn’t my birthday yet!
I watched Project Runway and enjoyed it a lot. Today was the unconventional materials challenge and they went “shopping” in a toy store. Some of the clothes were amazing, some were a bit meh.
I turned off the TV around midnight and got on with my computer. It’s taken a little longer to do things I usually don’t think about because I often have to sign into websites or find where things are. Still, I’m not complaining and it’s kind of fun too.
I’m not sure what I’ll get up to tomorrow. I’m thinking about taking a quick trip to the mini-mall tomorrow so I can pick up a few things. I’m not sure if I will or not as I plan to be out most of Wednesday. We’ll see how things go.
Come back later if you like and hear all about my day. Until tomorrow….
