technology blackout

Early last week, my computer's fan died. Been using library laptops and desktops ever since. Had to buy another laptop. I got it yesterday, and I'm using it now. It's lighter than the other one. It also is not as fast, which is okay by me. It also has a webcam, which was unexpected. Not sure what to do with it. Leaving it off for now. Been spending the time customizing and updating it to my liking. Will be dropping off the other laptop to get repaired tomorrow. Hopefully, it's not as major a repair as it seems. Otherwise, things are slowly getting back to normal. Financially and otherwise. Been applying for jobs that I'm not getting. Mildly discouraged, but I'm okay, because I do have a job and, as of now, it is where I am. My freedoms are all intact. I like hanging out with people and being involved in my community, and ushering helps me to do that quite well.

Last month, it felt like the world was collapsing in on me and around me. This month, so far, things appear to be looking up. The things that bothered me, while some still do, are not as pressing as they were. All will be okay. Once the other laptop returns, myrddan will be using it and I will be using the newer one.

Now, we can focus on working and going to Utah in June.
