I just need to set the tablet aside...

... so I can do a bit of real work. I've been totally attached to my tablet these past few years because I use it to watch K drama and YouTube stuff, play the Township game, and learn from Duolingo. But they're all mostly just for fun and entertainment. I use my laptop once a week for a bit of online work and some errands. To me, laptop is always about work. I used the computer for professional freelance work for over two decades and when I hit my mid-40's, I just got sick of deadlines. Then my husband got me a tablet and I've been a lazy tub of lard since. But today I switched on my laptop and worked on a few important things that I've been putting off since Lord knows when. I accomplished two major tasks today. Yay. That's two huge loads off my back. I'll just post this discussion and then browse a bit more before I switch off this laptop. I miss my tablet already. Is there a pressing errand that's been nagging at you for days, or weeks or months already?

Awww, you're so kind. I took a short break watching Korean dramas during the Holy Week. Now I'm back the usual binge. Haha. But right now I'm using my laptop and getting a few important things done.

@valherma00 I've heard of it. But there's another one with Park Bo Gum that I'd rather watch. Unfortunately, I've yet to subscribe to streaming apps to be able to watch it. Someday I hope I will.
