Writer's Block: B.Y.O.B. Holidays
Dec. 13th, 2011 03:02 pm[Error: unknown template qotd]
A safe and stress-free holiday. I know, it's sort of cheesy. And it won't be stress-free, or it wouldn't be the holidays ;) But I'm hoping it'll go pretty smoothly. I'm mostly worried about dad; this is the time of year of course when it'll be most obvious how isolated he is, and with added stress in general (even good things cause stress) I'm afraid he'll have some sort of blow-out.
I feel weird about this, but in relation to dad my mindset has definitely shuffled back to dealing with the group home girls. So it's good that training comes in handy.
If I could get one random thing, though, it'd be a laptop so I could travel for work. It was real disheartening to realize this laptop won't cut it (and yeah, I'm really grateful I'm privileged enough to have a laptop and desktop both). I looked up laptops, and I want one with LED lighting instead of whatever, and it has to have at least 1.7 GHz and 1.5 GB of RAM. I actually have no idea if that's a lot or not, but to justify the purchase I'd want to get one with more than that so there's extra capacity. For whatever.
But, once that's taken care of, I can go to Medford and help out with dad, or finally take a break where I'm *not* helping out with dad, and still work! Yay!
