threeplusfireI did a crazy thing today. I bought a brand new laptop.
Fujitsu Lifebook, with a superfast processor and an enormous hard drive. Many USB ports and all kinds of nice little pieces of hardware. All in a silvery shiny case. For a very decent price. I put up half the money and charged the rest.
I've never bought something without knowing I had the money to pay for it at the end of the money. It's been a matter of personal pride with me, to avoid debt and always pay the bill. But after months without a computer of my own, trying to work around on various machines with various people, I've realized how integral to my life this machine is.
So I'll rack up some interest on my card. But I am determined to have this payed off in the next three months. I will pay as much as I can on the next couple months and use Christmass money to finish it off. The interest charges are outweighed by the benefits of being functional again.
So hurrah. A lovely new laptop. I can hardly believe it is mine. I picked it up at Fry's today, where the salesman was quite pleasant.
Going to babysit Hana's boys this evening. Should be lots of fun. Meanwhile, I'm going to enjoy my new machine.
