Feeling Blissful

Over the last few days I have felt rather blissful. Im still battling the last leg of Covid. I'm past my 10 day infectious stage. But I have this damn lingering cough, sore throat, and ear infection. The doctor's will not do shit about it, and I honestly believe that its "punishment" for not being vaccinated. But one good thing did come from getting Covid. I was given an iPad Air 2 and a MacBook Air. I've never been an Apple person. But I now find myself in possession of 3 iPhones, 2 MacBook's, an iPad, a iPod Shuffle, and a 80gb 5th Generation iPod Video. Out of all of those devices, the iPod Video was the first. I got it as a gift from my sister back in 2005. Yes they all still work. 

Ive been using the iPad to go to school and do classes online through Alison.com and for playing my favorite matching game Match Masters, and just recently, to watch videos on it. With the MacBook Air, I had to reinstall the whole OS and upgrade it from OS X Lion to High Sierra. I also had to upgrade the battery on it as it was bad and wouldn't hold a charge. So I was able to find a new replacement battery on eBay for $18 with free shipping and the tools needed to open it up and preform the upgrade. I watched 9 different YouTube videos on how to do the battery and how to reformat the computer and do a clean install on it. 

Mind you I am a PC person and the bulk of my computer repair and operation knowledge lies therein. So all of this is new territory for me, and I must admit that I really have enjoyed learning a new system. I want to do more with the newer MacBook. I want to upgrade the hard drive (SSD) on it and install new memory to boost it from being 128gb SSD and 4gb ram to 1tb and 16gb ram. But finding the funding to do so is very difficult. The cheapest 1tb SSD I have found is about $120 and the ram about $60. And well living on the $0.00 that I do, it may not happen anytime soon.

My friend made the Magneto sticker for it, she works at a vinyl shop and did it for free saving me $15 its only off by a fraction of a centimeter, but its ok, I love it. I agonized over trying to decide on which sticker I wanted on the back, and out of about 15 choices, I chose Magneto, and asked her if she could do it and here it is.

Outside of the whole geeking out on computers and what have you. I have been geeking out over the show Downton Abby. I haven't been that drawn into a tv show in a long time. And now that I have finished the whole series on Netflix, I am debating on going to the movies to see Downton Abby the New Era or wait for it to come out on DVD. And other than that, my cat has become more at home, and constantly showing me new sides of his personality. I will fully admit that I am not as attached to him as I was Bella, and I hope that someday I will be. Dont get me wrong, I freaking love that dork, but its not the same right now as it was for Bella and I. But I have only had him less than a full 3 months. So Im sure with time Ill grow to love him just as much. Here is a video of him being extra geeky and this is legit something he just started doing.
