Happy Birthday Laptop

I got an email from Best Buy today letting me know that it was my laptop's birthday.

And so now I'm sad.

It's weird to think about that impulse purchase...and why I made it.

And it's sad.

Really. really sad.

I bought it when S. went to Colorado to park ranger camp....because I couldn't stand not seeing him when we talked.

I still can't stand not seeing him. Or talking to him.

Only now a computer purchase won't fix the problem.

If it were only that easy.

Dear Laptop,

happy birthday...even though I have no idea where you are or when the last time I used you was. Today, for your birthday. I will try to at least locate you. Maybe I'll give you more attention soon.

Sincerely,
Me
