An 8x10 Kind-of Life

Just ran down and picked up my free 8x10 from Walgreens!

[And being that I'm posting this on Feb. 25, 2022, I have no idea what that picture was! If I remember what it was and come across it at some point in the future, I'll scan it in and upload it here.]

Dodger got on trying to fix it

So two days ago Dancer's computer started to really act up. It would just shut down for no apparent reason. Dodger got on trying to fix it. He noticed that one of the fans inside wasn't working right so they went and got a replacement part for it yesterday. Everything seemed to be working and then last night it started shutting off again. Dodger even tried to login via safe mode so he could see if maybe the issue were a virus but it still kept shutting down.

Dancer was aware that she had enough money in her bank account to buy a new one so that's what we all did today. We first went to Target (nothing there), then we went to Walmart (ugh. they had something but we still had one more place to check), then we hit Best Buy. Ta-da.... they had the deal we had seen online as an in store deal. Dancer ended up choosing that one. It was the best deal in her price range.

Then the super deals on laptops caught my eye. I had no intention of buying anything for myself when we went in but I'm at the point where I just can't stand Dodger's nagging about my time on the computer anymore. I need one for myself so that I can do other things during the day and use the computer at night. As it is now, I have to use the computer during the day.

The computer that just broke down was supposed to be mine in the first place.

No, I don't have the money to be buying a computer for myself. Yes, I put it on a credit card. I just hope that now I can really focus on building an online income without having Dodger nag me about using the main computer. Now I have my own.

I don't like this worry about money that spending money causes me. Maybe I need to go find a night job. The Walgreens and Kroger (both of which are down the road from where I live) are open 24 hours. Maybe they would hire me to work 10pm to 2am for 5 nights a week. Maybe I'll have to start donating plasma again. Ugh. I don't know... I do know that worrying won't make it better.

Things will be changing...

on this blog soon.

I've been thinking about my old unschooling blog for quite sometime now. I miss it and really want to get back to talking about unschooling and posting my opinions about things. I am going to be merging that blog with this one in the near future so that I can start meshing all the parts of me into one blog.

I told Dodger tonight that he was just going to have to deal with the hippy/feminist/liberal side of me. It's how I was when he met me. That strong part of who I was then is part of what he found attractive about me. I am a libertarian but many of my views are liberal in nature, it's just that I don't agree with forcing those views or any others onto other people via laws and government... or in anyway at all.

I expect to one day feel strong enough to even tell my family that I am no longer a Christian and that things of that spiritual nature are questionable at best. Those things are continually evolving in my life.

So, as soon as Dodger gets his next big job and I have some extended time to have computer access the wheels will be in motion to get this blog and that blog reworked and meshed.

I had a good day today

So... So much for blogging daily. I was using this blog to vent and work through some things. I suppose I haven't been holding onto things quite as long. That's certainly not a bad thing.

I had a good day today. We had co-op classes and then I went grocery shopping. I dropped my eggs while loading up the groceries, so I ended up having scrambled eggs for lunch. LOL.

Dancer had her tap and jazz class tonight. I sat in the lobby and searched the net for little different colored icons to use on my blogs. I guess I'll add those here, too.

Time to get back to watching CSI NY. I taped it last night and have a chance to catch up on viewing tonight.

Does anyone else still use their VCR to tape shows? I can't be the only one who's never had nor can afford DVR.
