I did not sleep at all well this morning, but when Beka got up, she let me have the bed and let me sleep for four more hours, so all was well and I felt much better after that (despite having a nightmare about Beka's mom trying to kill me... that was weird).
I now have Toshiko (my external hard drive, which should hopefully have everything from Gwen backed up on it now...), and Gwen has been sent off to be repaired. So in a couple weeks, I should have her back, or I can start flailing periodically at Best Buy until they fix it. I also got a tiny bag for my netbook which is just the perfect size for the netbook and a paper notebook and a book. It's awesome!
And then we got home only to turn around again and go out for awesome ice cream. They had pumpkin ice cream, and my day was made! (I eat pumpkin everything when I can find it, for the entire month of October, and most of November too. It is my favorite time of year.)
On our way back, we noticed that the stars were awesome, and demanded that Pat pull over somewhere with no lights. So we stopped in a little parking area beside the road and got out, and spent some time staring at the Milky Way and (mis)identifying constellations, until, lured by Jupiter, we wandered closer to the road and realized that we could stand on the side of the guard rail not facing the road. At that point, we decided (somehow) that the best idea was to stand there, creepily, until a car came by, and just stare at the sky. I have the feeling we either made someone's day or totally freaked them out, but it was fun.
I am now waiting for my vodka to cool off in the freezer so I can use some of it to make my back stop hurting, and about to wander off to abduct Caroline's desk long enough to transfer some stuff from Toshiko to Sarah Jane. (That's the netbook, in case you were wondering. Beka and I have a naming theme going on with all our electronics.) I can have my own music now! Well, some of it. Enough that I will not lose my mind. Huzzah!
EDIT: Okay, having gotten things off of my external, I can now officially say that Toshiko is the BEST THING EVER. OMG. *Gleefits* ...yes, I am this pleased by a little thing like an external hard drive.
