Playing with and getting used to my new laptop

I just got back from cutting a fresh Christmas tree from the top of my local mountain. The permit was $5 from BLM, ehm… Bureau of Land Management and it was an adventure of snow and mud. But, it was a cool first time event.

For years I just went to a local market or garden center and rummaged through whatever they got. This time I got to pick size, shape and species and cut it myself. It took a couple hours navigating their map to find an appropriate area, and a bit of hiking to find the right one. But a worthwhile experience overall. I really feel like I did something other than just be a consumer.

Catching up on the forums...

Interpreting the cat's meow.

Sitting on my daughters bed watching her put up some strip lights

If there was a hiss at the end of the meow you are in trouble.

Taking a coffee break

Choosing things to take to the thrift store/charity shop.

Drinking coffee and planning my day. Also thanking myself for doing errands yesterday so I have all day today to do other stuff.
