It is a few days yet before the Fall season is officially here but I think it's safe to say the change is already upon us.
It's been Fall-like weather and temperature here for a while now and I think many of us have been half waiting for the usual late summer warm spell we're used to... perhaps that will come, who knows. But for me, I've started my transition to the cooler months... I've started closing off some windows, and closing some at night (brrr). I've switched to my warm pjs and dressing gown and I even cracked the hot water bottle out last week.
I might pull out a blanket for my bed soon, although so far I've not quite needed that. I've not turned on my radiator yet, but I think I can hold off on that a while yet.
The rains are here, the leaves are falling, the days are shorter and the produce sections of the grocery stores are changed too.
Whoops. Double Whoops!
I have an (older) Apple laptop, and some of you who do as well, may know the frustration of the charger cords. They are absolutely the weak point of these devices and constantly fray and break. Especially, it seems, for me, probably due to the angle of my cord compared to where it has to plug in and where I spend most of my time. So because this part breaks so much, I get tired of paying the $100 for the replacement I know isn't going to live all that long. Last time I got a replacement I tried to fortify the break point, but it still went. And then I ordered a slightly cheaper one off of Amazon. It didn't come from apple, but arrived with all apple branding, so... I figured it was real enough. *shrug* It frayed as well, and this time the protective coating was only slightly split so I left it for a while, intending to get some electrical tape to seal it up for a while. Which is why I was not so happy to hear and see it spark when I went to plug it in...
