It's my magnetic field perhaps

Ben bought me a new macbook a few weeks ago for my birthday. Last week it started making noises very similar to the aforementioned laptop (that would be the sound of a hard drive dying). The noise comes and goes - and the noise is a bit different each time, but generally getting worse all week. Today it sounded like a plane getting prepared to take off. I just closed the computer and walked away.

I decided that I am just not meant to have a laptop right now. I am taking the signs. I am listening. I can repeatedly kill them with my aura for so long. At some point I have to listen. I am trying to be a better listener in so many ways.

Perhaps my magnetic field changed in the past 8 months & now I'm incompatible with laptops. It's not a bad thing since I feel like a better mommie without a computer or tv on to distract me. Reading is good. Perhaps I'll blog about what I've read since we moved up here. It's quite a list. Mostly vampire books. Speaking of which...I think I need to go get one in a couple of hours...

Tomorrow I am wiping the drive - correction, I am getting Ben to help me do whatever is necessary to get my info off there, since I historically don't do such things as they "should" be done. Then it's off to return it.

I am practicing "good stewardship" in the words of my extended father-in-law. I am using that which I already own and not contributing to the continued waste and consumerism that is this society. Plus I'll be saving us quite a few dollars by doing so. If I find in time that I can't stand sitting at a desk and using a slightly more ergonomic setup then I'll go pretend to be typing on my mostly dead laptop. I'll punish my carpal tunnel that way.

I believe this is for the best.
