Enjoy the elite air and whatnot, Dana!

I am working from my parents' house today (it's my mom's birthday) and I managed to not bring with me the charging cable for my laptop or the dongle for my wireless mouse (I did bring the wireless mouse, I guess as a fidget toy?) so might be just a half day for me, we'll see how the battery does

Our wings are not tired.

Happy birthday to your mom, -t! It is also my step-dad's 89th birthday, and my SIL's (brother's widow) 70th. I was going to go over and bring her fancy pastries from the Italian market but my body had other plans. (I had packed my suitcase to go there for a few days before giving up and pulling out my slippers.)

Most unhappy belly last night and today. I'm working on a cup of coffee and toast and we'll see how it goes.

Aw, happy birthday to your relatives! Mom is 83 today

I can pick up a charger and cables at Walmart at noon, so I guess I will have a full day of work after all. But lunch break will have to happen, that's always good.

The new zipper YKK just developed has our family all abuzz. A technological advance I did not expect!

Having an extra charger isn’t a bad thing, though a full day of work is probably excessive, lol

Exactly my thoughts. Although a full day of having the laptop on in case someone needs to contact me while futzing around isn't so bad

DH left his laptop cord in NY, so he got one of those fits a bunch of different models type at Walmart on the road. Worthwhile purchase that he can just leave in the car.

There's a new zipper? I didn't know the current model could be improved upon!

Not excited about the bloodsucking but the enhanced mobility would be pretty cool.
