What beautiful weather we're having!
Mar. 7th, 2016 02:57 amI sent the girls out this afternoon on a small errand. "Do we have to go out?" Two hours later it was, of course, "Do we have to come in?"
Set up the new laptop for the girls for school. It was such a bargain, refurbished off of eBay of all places, that I was worried it wouldn't work at all, but it's running just fine, and pretty fast too. So I might get another from the same seller. If they're doing Cherokee online, they really both need access to a computer of reasonable speed, and preferably not one that's tethered to my desk.
Nearly all this news is serious/depressing, so if that's an issue you may not want to bother with any links.
