This one was something of a surprise – sometimes surprises can be good.

Today’s Gratitude Item: Getting a new school computer. The best thing about this process is that our tech guy installed all the software I need and cloned my ‘D’ drive so I did not have to spend a lot of time getting things back to ‘normal’. The only problem is that my ‘new’ machine does not have a number pad (it does however have a smaller keyboard and is much lighter than the older model).
