Sand

The laptop died yesterday. Many passwords were lost, or at least temporarily misplaced. The iPad mini simply can’t do what I need it to. Dylan was happy to get a new laptop, but it seemed like expensive overkill, when all I need is a keyboard and a way to deal with photos. Other tasks are also easier there. It gets complicated. I figured a cheap wireless keyboard that we already had, and a full size (not the pro) iPad would be sufficient. Occasionally borrowing Dylan’s desktop. And I get a decent discount at my University’s bookstore, as well as the U credit union card.

Unfortunately the password situation is worsening as the set up continues. All on Dylan’s shoulders, as IT guy. They are hiding as fast as he finds them, which is worrisome. Any fun he has in setting up a new device has long evaporated.

The irony of this post after the last one is not lost on me. The icy breath of loss is on the back of my neck. How ephemeral and fragile this all is.

I feel like we live on a knife edge stuck in sand.
