Gratitude post for day #6…A strange idea, to give thanks for a simple instrument like a laptop, but I am. For Boxing Day, I picked up a new laptop. Primarily it is for me to use in the basement, and around the house. Occasionally, I’ll take it with me to a coffee shop or something. However, for work I have a smaller netbook that will do the job. It just wasn’t up to snuff for the extra work I do on it at home, and there are times I just want to surf and type while watching TV (my PC in the office isn’t quite so portable). Tonight, for instance, I watched an episode of the show Forever while I typed away on some stuff. I’m not completely set up on the laptop yet, still need to add some software and figure out how to easily toggle the touchpad on and off, but it was great. Andrea will likely use it too for school in the fall as she finishes her Masters, my only concern then being battery life for her. Nice large screen though 🙂

Onward in the journey…
