When Today Was A Good Start
So I’ve finally got my website back. The short version is that I had to switch servers and during that time, I had to wait for the internet to understand the move and direct people to the right server.
A lot has happened in the last few days. I don’t remember too much of Thursday or Friday, but I do remember the weekend. I went to my parents’ house on Friday and as soon as my dad and I were getting off the car, I pitch the idea of my getting a new laptop. As we’re walking to the house, I explain all the different reasons as to why I deserve a new one. He doesn’t say anything for a while and then says, “Here. You can have this one.” Now, I know that we have a bunch of old laptops lying around the house so I freaked out and thought he was talking about one of those.
To my surprise, he wasn’t. It turns out that he recently bought a used laptop from his company. It’s another Sony VAIO and although it’s still old to today’s standards, it’s still younger than the laptop I was trying to use. It’s much smaller and much lighter as well. The only downside is that the battery has been shot dead and can only last about ten minutes after charging it to full. Depressing, no?
But wait… there’s more good news. My dad decides that my laptop screen is too small, so what does he do? He goes to Costco and buys me a brand new LCD monitor. Holy crap, right? I know! Unfortunately, my outdated laptop’s video card does not properly support the monitor’s awesome specs so everything that I view on the big screen has been horizontally stretched out of proportion. But I’m not complaining.
When I came back from my parents, SB and I went to see a middle-aged woman about a room for rent. It turns out that she lives in a relatively nice (and I do mean nice) apartment building and although it’s a one-bedroom apartment, is renting out the bedroom. Since she has serious arthritis, she sleeps in what’s called the living room. I don’t know how many people did or didn’t contact her but it was quite obvious that by the end of our visit, that room was as good as sold. I’m very happy now to know that SB has a room to sleep in and doesn’t need to bum around his friends’ and my apartment. Things are looking good for now and that’s great news.
So my dad’s made it quite clear that I am not to take any Psychology-major-related courses while I’m studying for my Economics and Accounting degree. I understand his reasons and they do make sense. Sure, I’m bummed out that I can’t study it right now, but in the end, I know that I will still find something that makes me smile at the end of the day. To me, that’s all that matters.
I hate my stupid body. First, I get breast-envy while I’m working out at the gym today. Although I know my size isn’t the worst of all sizes, I still sometimes wish they were just a bit bigger. Not too big, but just a little more than they are now. Second, I tried to give blood again (third time this year) and was once again deferred for a low iron/blood count. SB thinks it’s because I had just exercised about an hour before and I have no clue what’s going on.
Anyway, I’m sure there’s much more I need to say but am quite tired right now and can’t think of anything else. Good night folks and thanks for reading about my not-so-interesting life.
