New Laptop

Oh wow, the apple-spinach salad is delicious! The goat cheese really adds to it. I gobbled it up! It's going on my regular lunch rotation!

Ugh. I've been feeling scatterbrained the last few days. Making a lot of mistakes. Sigh. But I'm being easier on myself, which is good.

Urgh. I received an email from the iCAN program, and I'm going to have to upgrade my computer system. They're recommending a dual-monitor setup. I'm also going to have to get the futon out of here ASAP to have room for the setup. Okay, it looks like I'll need a new laptop, which I can do, but I won't be able to go to Memphis then. Good, the laptop that I probably will get (I like HP laptops) will fit in my travel backpack. Speaking of which, I got the travel backpack and like it. I saw a Facebook Marketplace ad for two monitors for $100, so I'll see if that will work.

The therapist got back to me, asking if we should have a Zoom meeting, although she said that she isn't really a problem-solving therapist. I said, "Yes," and talked about the workbooks that I'm working on. We'll see how this goes.

I felt too hot to make stir-fry, so I made a PB&J. Maybe I'll make stir-fry later (done).

It got too late to make bread. Tomorrow after piano class (or maybe before if I have my act together).

I need to get up for an early meeting, so I need to crash.

I like it!

(Apologies for not remembering but) When do you start the iCAN program? And you're moving for it, right?

I will say that I enjoy having two monitors at work. It can be super useful for getting things done. The other thing I see people do is have one really large monitor (like 36+ inches) and then you have enough screen real estate that you can assign specific windows to areas of the large screen.

Thanks for the salad recipe. Definitely going to add it to the lunch/dinner possibilities list.

I start iCAN in August.

I have two monitors (my laptop and a monitor) at work. It helps a lot.

I really like the salad!

August! That's so soon. Are you feeling prepared/ready?

[days_unfolding]

Not yet. I need to get the new laptop and get my new study area set up.

[brittdreams]

Gotcha. I'm looking forward to seeing how the program goes for you.

That apple-spinach recipe looks superb! I'll have to give it a try.

I'm like the work evangelist for dual-monitor setups. They're just so much more productive imo. Very much worth the investment.
