I'll Always Need A Sweater

I've had this particular laptop for probably two years. I use it almost exclusively for writing here. Pretty much everything else I do on my phone (a Galaxy Note 5, which is pretty much as big as a laptop). In the almost two years I've had this computer, I've always been irritated that it doesn't do updates when it's not in use. It waits until I open it and log into my diary to tell me it's going to shut down in 15 minutes. The fact that I have to wait the 10-15 minutes or however long it decides to take irritates me to no end. Why can't it update when I'm not using it?! This is totally a first world problem, but I live in the first world, so... this entry will be short. I have 15 minutes before my laptop shuts down, ugh.

I'm so pleased with how tolerant of work I've been. I'm getting through shifts without nearly as much strife as I used to experience. I have to work. I have to make money, and support my family (especially if my husband can't be consistent). There's no sense in hating it when I need to be working more, not less. So I'll continue to live in the moment and allow myself to do what I need to do, instead of wishing I was somewhere else. It doesn't me no good trying to leave early or get out of working, either. I'm getting better, and for that I'm glad.

After work Snookums wanted to take the kids to the beach so they could play in the sand. So, we went to Point No Point. I don't know why I always dress likes it's going to be warm there. It's never warm. It could be 90 degrees in the city, but by the time we get to Hansville it's only 65 degrees, even if the weather report says it's currently 75 or 80. It's the sea breeze. I need to accept that I'll always need a sweater.

While the kids played in the sand with daddy, I walked the trail that meanders through the woods just above the beach. It wasn't as cold there, I needed some steps, and time in nature always does me good. It's only about 1.5 miles round trip, but it was enough. I had a nice evening.

Nothing much else to say about today, and I've got two minutes before my computer shuts down, so I must go...
