Pretty was looking through the Walmart offerings online since this is Tax-Free Weekend. (This is the weekend for parents' to buy school supplies for kids returning to school soon.) Pretty has been telling me that if I need something, this is the time to buy it. We put some thought into buying some new clothes and a few other items we've wanted... I bought some new underwear since I've lost enough weight that my underwear and short pants will fall off if I'm not careful as well as several new pairs of jean shorts and looked at a new laptop but didn't think we had the money for that.
Our doorbell rang a few minutes ago and Pretty came back inside carrying the new laptop I was looking at online. 
She said since we were ordering things, she went ahead and bought the laptop, too. My brother just dropped everything off but didn't come inside. He told her he needed to get home with their purchases, too.

That is good, now it's so much easier than in the past.

@LadyDuck Yes, it is. Now, I just have to find the time to set the new laptop up and leave both laptops alone until everything is done.

True, but I've already downloaded the app that will do that for me.

Thanks and yes, I think so... I was getting a little skittish about walking by the windows facing the newer neighbors' house. Our curtains on that side are a type of mesh that can easily be seen through... 
I didn't think the neighbors would want to see my pants fall down.

My dear mother of blessed memory used to say that she had to be careful with what she said around me or I’d get it for her. Sounds like Pretty is the same way.
Enjoy your new computer while you don’t have to pull up your pants!

Thanks. And yes, it is.
The laptop I'm using now is only about 4 years old but I've worn it out. It runs almost constantly since I listen to it reading to me or listen to YT videos even when I'm sleeping or can't see.
Last week we didn't think this one was going to restart after I needed to shut it down. Thankfully, it doesn't matter anymore if it restarts again.
