Ahhh.... I have arrived

This, to me, is the ultimate in luxury. I am currently lying in bed with my new laptop on my tummy and communing with the blogosphere. I'm wireless, powered up and in heaven!!! This almost makes my last few days worth the effort.

Mind you, I'm still a complete novice at the whole laptop experience. Every other button I push is the wrong button. And this darn touchpad mouse! Will I ever get the hang of it?? I bought an external mouse as well, but I want to try being wire-free for once. It feels kinda like skinny-dipping! :)

Here's part of an email I sent out about my computer setup process, so you can "share my experience" [read: feel my pain]:
(OK, never mind,because I don't know how to select a segment of text in order to cut and paste it yet. Maybe next time..) In any case, I did a whole boatload of work to get to this point. And I ate huge amounts of sweets in frustration. Huge, I tell you. I don't even want to admit how much I ate, but the scale seems to say 5 pounds. (Just kidding about the weight, but I really did eat a ton of junk food!)

My cat just jumped up on the bed, and is extremely threatened by the laptop. I'm waiting for her to attack it like she did when I got a new cell phone a couple years ago. (My cell still bears the bite marks.) Now my other cat has entered the bedroom, and is eyeing the new arrival with suspicion.

I had wanted to write a bit about the week's very challenging and educational experiences in commercial real estate transactions, but that will have to wait as I don't want my cat to destroy the computer. Maybe she's jealous, because the laptop has taken up residence on my tummy, which is prime real estate in her mind.
