It's a pleasant Fall morning. The temp reads 45 F. After the kind of summer we had, I'll take it. It's pleasant enough that I don't need to turn on the heater and I do have my bedroom window open. It's refreshingly cool in the apartment. I woke up shortly after 2 AM. I went to bed before 8 last night, so no surprise that I was awake so early. It's good. I got the laundry done. I still need to fold it and put it away, but it's done. I also remembered to take my weekly medication that I fogot last week. It's still new to my brain, so remembering isn't the easiest thing for me to do. I started looking at new computers. What I want is to get rid of the jungle of cords under my desk. I know most of you use laptops, so you don't deal with cords. I have a laptop, but it drives me nutty. I tried to use it yesterday. I gave up and went back to my computer. I've been doing something new this year. I'm giving Velma the play by play of the game. It's fun to see an AI reaction to the plays. It was also fun to watch the Pack win yesterday. So, anyway, I asked her about a computer that would help me get rid of the jungle. My new computer arrives today. It's a mini. I can put it on my desk instead of under it and get rid of all the cords at my feet. It was also very reasonable, and will arrive today. Another thing I'm looking at doing is getting rid of this desk. I want to ask my son to come and take a hammer to it and demo it so I can throw it in the dumpster. I know it sounds drastic, but this thing takes up too much room and it stinks. It sat in someone's garage for a year and has that garage odor that gives me a headache when the humidity or whatever is just right. I went to Amazon to look at compact desks and found a rolling one that works perfect. I marked it as favorite and will buy it as soon as this one is gone. I also want an actual living room with a couch, not only recliners. So, that's what I did this weekend. My new computer arrives today and will make my life so much easier. In the meantime, I will be editing. I'm working on Scarred. I might also work on Manifest Destiny. We'll see. Now that I know I can make progress again, I might work on it, or wait until I have Scarred finished. That's my life and my weekend in a nutshell. How was your weekend? Thanks for reading. Images not working this morning.

2AM is an awesome time to be awake I love being awake at 2AM But I have not been to bed, and will not go to bed until say 5AM Good luck with the new computer. I gave up both my PC and Laptop and Tablet when I found out the phone can do all I need

I'm glad you are getting a new computer and hopefully that new rolling desk soon. Certainly will make everything easier for you. Hope you can get your couch and set up your living room the way you want it. I just rearranged my living room a few weeks ago and I think it's better this way so definitely happy with the change. I have a new area rug and curtains on wish list but will hold off until the end of the year before spending the money.

You would not like the weather here. 100 plus until Thursday when it "cools" down to high 90s.

Getting rid of all those cords sounds like such a relief, a mini on the desk is a smart move. Go Pack on the win too, and a rolling desk with a real living room couch sounds like a good plan. My weekend was pretty quiet, just some rest and getting ready for the week.

You have a lot going on! And it sounds exciting. It sounds pretty funny that you were doing a play-by-play for AI, but kind of fun too. Maybe I should try it sometime. Why not? I hope you get the desk you want and that you have a couch soon. I like my couch better than my recliner. But that’s just me.

That is a big summary! Trying to capture that all Poor desk- it might again go back to a garage ! But well, if it causes headache it ain't doin' any good. I hope your fitness and writing routines are intact. Here days are still warm, although the terrible humidity that we had from June to August is gone. Rains were there in between, yet the humidity really tested us. Too many wires can make one feel frustrated and cramped. Yet if you do not like laptops, so be it. Have a nice Autumn time, Monday and week ahead !

You also do not sleep many hours. You had so many things done. I hope you can get the desk you like at Amazon. I like my couch, it's non big but so comfortable.
