The tumbleweed is my spirit animal

~ it's one p.m. and i'm still in my PJs, slippers, and doing the coffee thing. mister said he was thinking about waking me up to go kayaking (we bought our own last night!), but decided to let me sleep. which was good — i took an extra sleep aid last night and it was LOVELY, but the downside is that i end up sleeping in and taking awhile to wake all the way up. 

plus, there's some serious prep on tap for labor day weekend: the board meeting must be epic. 

~ there have been a few people on my FL that have talked about needing a new computer but balking at the cost. one suggestion i have is a chromebook; they're wayyyy cheaper and if you're just looking for something for non-gaming type of things, it's definitely something to look at. 

when this one dies eventually, we'll get another one. i have my big computer for graphic work and gaming, but the chromebook is my go-to for writing, web stuff, research, email, spreadsheet work, etc and so on. 

big benefit? the battery lasts forever. =D

~ we've had some cool down happening and although i appreciate the change while doing chores and riding, my tomatoes are not super happy about it. >.< 

we had a pretty big thunderstorm come through last night and had to deal with the neurotic golden retriever's NEW problem — fear of thunder. seriously, this is a NEW thing and it's frustrating for all of us, because when SHE gets afraid, she wants to get so close to me that it's like she wants to wear my skin.
