Desperate times, desperate measures.

I am again blogging from bed, but it is far from ideal.

Feeling a little desperate, I dug out an old laptop that was abandoned at Hubby's store and was brought home to me a few years ago. I haven't touched this laptop in at least two years because it has a major quirk -- the screen won't stay on for any longer than twelve seconds. I know this because I've timed it. But it's not always twelve seconds. Sometimes it's one. Then I have to stop what I'm doing and hit Function + F5, and it may come back. Or I might have to do it again. And then it might go off again in about three seconds, or less.

(You can actually see that the screen is "a little broken" where it joins with the keyboard.)

Needless to say, this is really frustrating. Hubby is going to raid the abandoned pile at work tomorrow to see if he can find me something else. I'm really not that fussy. I just want something that works -- just something I can surf, blog, and Facebook with. My "real" computer is in my office, and if I feel the need to do "real" stuff, I can just wander in there.

(This computer screen lasted seven seconds on the Palm site when I was wistfully checking out the Palm T|X. Just in case you were wondering.)

So I'm typing away madly at the moment, with a totally blank screen because I can't be bothered to fix it while I'm writing.

But hey -- I'm still technically blogging from bed, watching TV (and away from the drafty window in my office).
