my attempts to train tumblr to crosspost personal posts failed

This post has nothing to do with the above, it's just me remembering to crosspost personal stuff manually.

Thanks to a loan and payment plan set up with my parents (as in, my parents bought it and I have to pay them $50 a month for five months) I have my iPod replaced. This sounds spoiled-bratty except for how my DBT training was all centered around music, and my main way of managing my OCD and anxiety is through having music — all my music — accessible at any given time, which means that I do actually need an MP3 player capable of holding at least 100GB of material.

But that’s not actually the point of posting; the point of making this post is to first explain that all of my iPods have had the names of things that travel in pods (so far: dolphins, porpoises, undines) and this time I have a black one.

So I have named it Space Whales.

I thought many of you would appreciate this.

(pardon quality of photos. I used a dying cell phone to take these. it couldn't really focus or get good light.)

So, I am going to be heading down to my parents' tomorrow to work in a space that is not a disaster for a weekend, and as some of you may recall I'd had some issues with my main computer in that the i key wasn't working right and kept falling off. Well, yeah, it hasn't exactly stopped doing that, even though having it at the Apple Store fixed all the other issues. (They replaced the bracket. It just died again.)

My other computer, my primary 'work' machine, does not have a working charger right now. I've been using Brady's but I can't bring it with me.

So when this happened:

I was just like ugh, oh crap, now what.

And then I remembered I had a bluetooth keyboard that I usually use with my iPad. Awesome! Except that my lap desk isn't really big enough.

I do, however, use Dap sticky-tack as a stim; squishing and stretching it for tension relief. Which means I have a lot of Dap sticky tack around. It is actually useful for things besides tension relief, and while I still don't use it to hang stuff on walls I have used it to fix shoes, and now, to stick to the back of the stand sections on the keyboard:

Which was then affixed to the computer, and as it turns out it is exactly the same size as the MacBook keyboard. A++.

I used it to type this post. Here's to innovation.
