From 3:00 to 4:30 yesterday, I left my laptop sulking at home and went out. I couldn't waste a 70-degree day in March. So I went to the Computer Loft, and they outright gave me a dead MacBook Air (I offered to buy it) for Lily to sit on. I was there for probably 20 minutes and most of it was trading cat-on-laptop pictures with the tech. His cat has a whole laptop to himself, and the screen works but the keyboard doesn't, so it plays fish videos and occupies the cat while the tech gets things done. Lily was most interested in sniffing her dead laptop, but so far would still rather sit on mine.
But the weather was glorious. I almost didn't want to be wearing a sweatshirt.
This morning Massachusetts rolled out a pre-registration system for mass vaccination sites, and it seems to actually work. Basically it puts you on the list, and then sends you possible appointments when it's your turn. So at least I'm on the list. I hope it sends me to Hynes (it will be Hynes instead of Fenway by the time it gets around to me) rather than to Gillette. But if it's Gillette, that's what personal days are for. I'm really hoping for Thanksgiving in Noank on Memorial Day weekend.
The regiment is considering investing in the second brand-new mattress it's ever bought. The last one was a college-furniture-store double bed mattress, which got upgraded to my sister's queen-size guest bed when she got married. I noticed this past summer when I rotated it that it's developed a bit of a trench in the middle, and Lily has been sharpening her claws on the box spring for years, so it's probably time to replace both. I just wish mattress shopping didn't feel quite so much like used-car shopping. I don't want to spend $2000 on a mattress and I don't want memory foam or cooling gel or any of that jazz. Just sell me what I want and take the old one away when you bring the new one. And no, I don't care if you come over the balcony instead of up the stairs.
