The rest of the coven – that's [personal profile] namoda and Tacoma Girl – came over last night for drinks, munchies, and chats. OK, I ate nearly all the munchies, but such nights are a Thing I Really Like Doing every few months if not more often.

From the Dept. of Foreshadowing:
  • M'boy has agreed to take the old office chair when I get a new one, which should be next week. I've solemnly informed him of its limitations as an office chair for people with builds like ours, but that isn't how he wants to use it. Okey doke.
  • I've ordered a Dyson vacuum because I'm tired of a vacuum cleaner that doesn't quite work. Good Sister has sung their praises to me. I'm not sure how I'll get rid of the old one. Yeah, my local Buy Nothing group is pretty effective, but who'd want something like this?
  • My employer no longer gives employees old laptops when they're too old anymore because it's now part of a public company and, you know, security. That means I'm typing at you on a vintage 2015 Mac. It mostly gets the job done, but I worry about OS updates, storage, etc. and Blender can really make it crawl. The last (practical) item on my home improvement list is a new Mac. And before anyone comments, ixnay on the Inuxlay: I'd rather use my machine than mess with it.

I'm looking ahead at my future computer needs. My MacBook is from 2018, my iMac from 2019. Planned obsolescence should kick in within a couple of years.

I don't know if I'll replace the iMac in kind, or go with a mini.

I've had a Dyson for several years and it is still going strong, though its small size makes it more of a "dustbuster" than a floor vacuum. We have a Shark that we prefer for the larger carpeted spaces (although it is so loud I bust out the hearing protection.)

I love our Dyson Animal. It's amazing how much less I object to vacuuming now.
