Takin’ It With You
Submitted by My Garden Spot Blog
The Spring Fling is getting nearer. In about 2 months I’ll be going to Chicago, with ‘Pup, to meet Garden Bloggers and see the myriad gardens that Chicago offers. I’m going to want to blog this…live. Problem is…my laptop, she is dead. Well, not completely dead, I think she might be fixable. Still, she’s a good laptop, but she is also a heavy laptop. (Not as heavy as some, but she starts getting heavy after a bit.)
I’m going to need something lighter. And I keep finding all these lightweight notebook computers on sale. It doesn’t help that I keep finding more and more places advertising “Free Wi-Fi”. I must confess to a small fantasy. I’d like to be one of those people who go to a small restaurant/coffee house…anywhere… who blithely opens up a tiny notebook computer and merrily types away while getting endless refills of coffee… (it’s a fantasy, I can have as much coffee as I want).
More practically, I would like something that I can carry with me, if I’m in the manual wheelchair, that won’t add a lot of weight while I’m rolling. I’m getting better with the chair, too. I’ve figured out how to lean so that my weight is a little forward. That seems to make it easier to propel me forward. I’m figuring out a kind of backpack that can be securely attached (and closed!) to the back of the chair.
I’m planning on having fun and traveling light.
