Friday’s Activities Include: no school, genius bar

T. spent the day with the sitter. A. spent the day with us. We had dinner at Julie’s Place. But before that, we all went to Solomon Pond Mall for my Genius Bar appointment that I made on the 24th when I realized I couldn’t figure out why my laptop wasn’t charging. They went to Creative Nails and the Easter Bunny and Justice. I went to the Apple Store, spent over 2 hours there, came out with a laptop that had been erased and had the OS reinstalled and that seemed to be charging — and some suggestions about what to do if the problem recurred. Discouraging. I’m not sure if I trust this.

I was starving by the time I got to dinner, because I’d had some squash soup and fruit salad for lunch, thinking dinner would be early. Instead, it was late. Next time I’m going to an Apple Store, I’m bringing a granola bar. Altho come to think of it, maybe next time I’ll send ship whatever it is in for service instead. And just buy a second version of anything I think I really need. Because this kind of bites.
