It's been one of those weeks. The Fridge was too tall. My computer needed a rest.

I have a new laptop to adjust to.

I had to customize the kitchen cabinet because I didn't measure the height of the fridge. 2 screwdrivers and 1 vice-grip got the job done.

When I renovated my downstairs half bath, I had to pull off the door frame because the stacking washer dryer was 1/4” too wide. Oops!😬

I need a new laptop. What kind did you get?

Best Buy was still closed so I went to Wally World. Not bad for under $300 but it doesn't like the heat in my home. It's fighting with me.

Is it like a like a chrome book or is it a full function laptop? Does it have a touch screen?

I need a new laptop for me and also one for my soon to be middle school kid.

The HP is a fully functioning laptop. Touch screen - nope.

Hello back from The Hudson Valley, NY. I grew up in Georgia. I still miss Springtime and Pink Dogwoods.

We haven’t had a spring like this in probably 20 years! Cool nights, warm & sunny days with plenty of cool & rainy days and nights too!

Last year, we had summer from April to October.

I hope your computer problems can be resolved.

The computer is working fine now that the temp has dropped a few degrees.
