Living Without A Laptop 2015

How much longer can I go without it? So far it has been almost a month since it stopped working. My husband is missing it more than I am. He loves to watch you tube videos and look up stuff to put in his wish list on eBay and Amazon Prime.

Now that the sun has been shining bright for the last few days I am beginning to miss it when I want to venture out of the house instead of writing on my desktop.

A good thing about not having it to turn on is I am learning how to do more of my photo journaling from my iPhone. Yet my eyes get blurry much faster doing that than with the laptop.

I am hoping it is just a bad battery. The power went out at our house while I was doing a back up to a hard drive. Any day of the week I have a wonderful Apple store in Burlington that I can take it to. I just am not willing to pay another repair charge this soon. I've recently had it to them for other updates and adding ram.

True, it is getting to be an old one for a laptop anyway. It is my loyal companion, so I had plans on really trying to get rid of all the junk I'm no longer using, hence the backing up business.

I admit, it discouraged me at first. Plus, I have really been looking for an excuse to get an iPad. Now that my husband has decided he'd rather have the laptop back, there goes that idea. Only for another year though, when I can upgrade my iPhone, then, finally then, I will get my iPad.

In the meantime? I have a trip scheduled to go visiting up north to Skagit County next month. What is the worst they can tell me? It is totally broke. I am doubting that. Here is wishing for an inexpensive fix, since $100.00+ dollars has already been dumped into it.

Overall though considering I have had it since 2009 and a lot of that information still shows up on it someplace, I really have no reason to complain. Repairs and updates in all of that time? Roughly I have spent about $500.00 since then.

I bought it refurbished to boot, for $1000.00 then. Now to me, that really says something about the quality of a MacPro aluminum laptop. I have always been satisfied with the results and the continued road to learning about the computer world through all of Apple's updates and ever growing products.

So yes, my dear sweet, loyal little laptop, we will try once again to improve your performance with another repair. Here is sending up a little prayer that you will be fixed right and provide more of the computer pleasure of getting online, taking photographs and writing, maybe someday even a book.
