so please be kind if I'm a mess

As My Laptop Lay Dying update: ...Well, I got through last night without Hex crashing again, at least. All the same, I'm gonna try to get to repair people over break. I do have an extension on paper-due-after-break should it turn out I need it; hoping it doesn't, but still.
Another tidbit from calling the parents: They're finally getting around to bathroom renovations. Their bathtub has been torn apart for going on a decade now, and they've had tiles for mine for a few years to no effect. gasp!
And finally: There are... what, four of us going to see BNL? Midterms be damned! XD
