Ta-da!
My new laptop came the other day! On a day it was snowing and -28f and they just left it on the front steps without ringing the doorbell or anything. In a box that made it *really* obvious what it was. Luckily it came sometime between walking Molly at 11 and 2 so it wasn't out there for long and in my neighborhood there isn't much concern about theft, but still. WTF. In that weather, just leaving something out in the open. Sometimes people walk around back and leave stuff on our back porch (which is enclosed) but you would think the S&H for the laptop would include suggestion to ring the bell or get a signature or something. Bah.
But, new laptop is lovely! Faster than old, broken one and basically incomparable to almost 10 yr old one I'd been using the past weeks. Blessedly quiet and lighter too. Although it does randomly lose wifi connection occasionally, which is annoying. I have no idea what to do about that. I should be using this quiet, quick laptop to work on treats for![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
chocolateboxcomm right? Errrrmmm....
Well, I have one done that's been sent out for a beta and a few scribbles here and there of other attempts, but mostly I've been adding to my resource posts. I think there's more than 575 links or so now? I also backed up a bunch of the more useful links via the wayback machine so hopefully if some of the tumblrs or websites do go down the information won't be lost; there's still a lot more to backup, but I'll try to get to all of it eventually. I'm debating splitting up some of the masterposts, though. Some are pretty on point but others have gotten unwieldy and extremely long (there's over 100 links just in the injuries/medical post! How did that happen?). The fighting/military/police/etc one in particular might need to get split up and I'm trying to figure out a way to make the random, final, one less of a mess. {As always, if you notice a link on one of them is dead (or you have a great resource of your own you'd like to share) definitely let me know.}
I made hobo bread (an incredibly easy eggless raisin quick bread) on Friday and it's nearly gone. So easy and so good and not a lot of dishes to clean after making. My kind of recipe. I still need to write up the chocolate peanut butter cookie recipe, I forgot all about that.
Did you all hear about the 13th century handwritten parchment fragments of a manuscript about Merlin that were found at Bristol Central Library? So cool. Also, can you imagine being the researcher randomly discovering something like that? Wow.
