All I ask...

is for a warm home and someone to buy me a laptop. Why is this so difficult? The financial aid people are lovely, they really are, but would I be asking for a computer loan if I had the wherewithal to buy a computer and then submit a receipt? I don't think so. Someone out there must think I'm cute enough to get a laptop for me. One with wireless, and a big hard drive preferably.

And I won't even press the issue and ask for a car on top of it.

It's been a long day. I was stuck at the office working on a hellish test schedule, and all the engineers went off to do some fun off-site thing. Which wouldn't be so bad really, except that the PM who went with them started hounding me for status reports 15 minutes after I got in and then took off for the happy fun time event before dealing with my problems. feh. It's a gross miscarriage of justice is what it is.

Maybe if I weren't so ticked about the whole stupid laptop situation...

Anyway, I'm taking tomorrow off work to take the kitty to the vet. I need to get her regular check up and get anti-anxiety meds for her for the road trip back east. That should be interesting. After that, I'm going to a hot springs retreat up north of Calistoga for a couple of days to regroup and rest. I'm really excited about this, it'll be nice to just get out of here for a little awhile and be away from all the mad boxes in my house. I'm bringing knitting, a couple of books, a spindle or two, and my iPod. Should be a good time. Who knows, maybe I'll find some naked hippie benefactor who will buy me a laptop!
