Well I have to blame some thing…. it might as well be Mercury going retrograde until the end of the month. Mercury- the planet if you please, has everything to do with communications, moving parts… a bit of money.. And well, my computers has gone… up.. Again… so I’m blaming Mercury.
Thankfully, the local library have long acknowledge me as a regular user and if I come in loaded down with my brief case and binders, they know that I’m back at the office. Which is where I’m writing from this very moment. Nevertheless I’ve decided, no, resolved to make the big purchase and get me self an Apple Mac! Why not! I deserve one. (So a friend once eagerly told me and darn it all I believe almost everything Pearl says) So look out Loan Company I’m writing up a proposal .
