tears and cheers

I've wanted a new computer for about 8 months now. But I always thought it was a hopeless dream, so it didn't really bother me. Then, as I'm complaining to Dad about one of the little things that constantly bug and and hedge me in but aren't bad enough to treally do more than complain about, he suggests I get a enw computer. It would depend on Mom, since she's the one who makes the money, but I was still excited. I was sure she's be okay with it, once Dad had explained.

Then Mom comes home from her business trip and Dad talks to her about it.

( further rant )

AND THEN! right about where I got to the cut when I was typing up (since I wrote this originally by hand), things got better. Right now they are VERY better. SO MUCH better. Because:

I have a new computer! It's bought and everything.

Or at least I will when it arrives. Next week.

Ohhhhh, I am SO happy right now.

This deserves my OLD icon.
