I’ve been at home, sick, for the last 2 days, which means when the SSD for the new computer FINALLY arrived, I spent the afternoon installing the drive, Windows, all the drivers, and key applications, including a game the kiddo has been wanting to play for ages (but couldn’t due to hardware specs on the old PC).

And coughing and sneezing a lot.

This afternoon, after school, he finally got to play it!

For 10 minutes, before the power went out.

To my amazement and relief, he took it in stride, even as the power kept fluctuating for the next hour.

@FiXato The weird thing is, he usually isn’t. I think maybe he’d gotten used to waiting for the specific thing, so it didn’t bother him so much. 🤷‍♂️

But yeah, the first time your kid gets sick can be nerve-wracking.

@sohkamyung Thanks.

The power did eventually stabilize, and he got to spend some time seriously playing.

Then I went to lie down for the rest of the afternoon. @&*$! cold.
