My blogging, particularly about courtship, will have to be put on hold for a short time.  The main culprit is the AC adapter to my laptop.  Since it's still under warranty (less than a year old!), I called Dell tech support, and once we went through the troubleshooting questions, the man said, "Well, you've won yourself a new AC adapter!"  I'm currently using our desktop, which is ANCIENT (LOL - 5.5 years old...how sad that that is "ancient") and very S-L-O-W.  I am NOT about to do any heavy work on this thing LOL.

So my new AC adapter should be here in 3-5 business days.  In the meanwhile I have a dead battery and no way to charge it. :? And I do have things that I need to do on my laptop (school stuff and bills, for starters).  So I guess tomorrow will be errand day, and we will run to town to try to find an AC adapter that is compatible.   I figure it won't hurt to have an extra. :?

BUT. In much sadder, news, my grandpa passed away today.  :-(  So I may be flying to Ohio within the next few days for the funeral.  I have no idea where I'll be staying or how I will get from the airport to where I'm staying, but maybe I'll get that worked out tomorrow.  Since I'm going alone, I probably will end up taking my laptop since I'll probably be bored out of my gourd when we're not actually doing funeral-y things.  We'll see.  I may or may not have the time, and I may or may not be in the mood to blog while I'm there.

Please keep me and my family in your prayers.
