Battery

I have to get a new battery for Laptop (that's my laptop's name). He died on me the other night after only 30 minutes of non-plugged in usage. I did a health check on him and HP told me that he needs this transplant soon, both for his sake and mine. I just didn't think he would still be this young when the time came..

I guess he's two years old now though. I got him after I graduated from community college...somehow I had to go through a whole year of college (don't say ANYTHING about community college not being real college. I will find you...and I will fuck you up...) whereas my sister gets a laptop in the 10th grade.

I'm sorry...I guess my emotions are just running a little high right now. Even though Laptop is assuring me that he's doing fine by his whirring and proper functioning right now, I know the minute I leave the room he's going to sputter and possibly pass out again. I just want him to be healthy...

So tonight, with his approval, I went on and ordered him a new battery. In about two weeks or so I will perform the transplant myself and possibly donate his old battery to a needy computer somewhere else in the world.

It's what Laptop and I both want.
