Improvement
Nikki has had a good day. In fact, she's had just about the best day since when I posted that she played a bit a few weeks back. That after only two of her new pills. It's probably naive, but I'm hoping that maybe she'll be able to feel like her old self, and won't go drastically down hill from here. At the very least, it looks like in the immediate future Nikki and I will be able to enjoy each other's company a lot more. And that's very good news. =)
A good amount of snow here today. The roads heading over to Lucinda's this afternoon were pretty ugly - we don't always get our roads good and clear out here in the country, at least not right away. I'm learning to get used to it, but once I've paid off my Intrepid Jeff and I think it would be a good idea to look at getting something with all-wheel drive. But that's a while off, and it's a pretty major purchase!
On the other major purchase front, I've finally got my new laptop. (For those of you who don't know, I've been lugging my desktop back and forth across the street between my home and the church, because my previous laptop didn't have enough umph to run the slideshows we're using for confirmation. Although I've been happy with the old laptop, it became quickly apparent that I needed one that had at least as much horsepower as my desktop computer... and preferably more.)
The fools at Best Buy approved me for enough credit to get a no-compromises model, one that I've had my eye one for a while and that was on a good sale ($300 on mail-in rebates). For those of you who are curious, it's a variation on the Compaq X1000 series of laptops. I'm delighter with it, with the value, and with the 24 months same-as-cash financing that made it possible. It will be wonderful to use it for confirmation next week, and my Bible software is so amazing with a powerful computer that I'm really excited to be doing some serious study and sermon prep on it.
Once I get all my files transferred and everything set up to my satisfaction, I'll be wiping the old laptop and putting it up for sale. I'll probably be asking about $400 for it, in case you know anyone who's interested. That's about what they seem to be fetching on eBay.
It's late, and Mike's coming tomorrow afternoon for our annual Christmas Concert fling. Time for me to call it a night.
