I’ve been wanting to get a new laptop for more than six months but the right deal just never showed up…until this weekend. I found this deal in one the newsletters I get daily and jumped at it. Most specials have been for either not enough memory or not enough disk space. I know I can work with the 512GB SSD, that’s what’s on my current MacBook Pro and I’ve barely used half of it. I wanted to increase from 8GB to 16GB of memory. This was a deal I couldn’t pass up, especially when I found interest free payments. {giggle}

So now you know what I’ll be doing this week – it arrives on Wednesday (if Fedex behaves). I hope to get my early tax paperwork done over the next two days, then spend Thursday and Friday setting up the laptop. By this weekend I want to be writing…on the new one!

I will keep my old (late 2013 MacBook Pro) as my backup machine and find a new home for my little 11″ MacBook Air. I’m sure there is some student somewhere who would love to have it.

Not much else for news…the poll votes chose Sundays for my blog posts, so here you are. The first one!

My Favorite Coffee Mug

In other news, I am finally trying the dark mode on my iPad Mini and so far I really like it. I didn’t think I would so color me surprised. LOL! I sometimes wonder how long I will be able to keep up with technology.

Next month I will be busy CRUISING….yes! We are doing a partial transit of the Panama Canal out of New Orleans. We are going with good friends who haven’t been. We have but on a different cruise line and out of a different port. Due to my medical restrictions right now, I’m glad I’ve been to all the ports. That will give me plenty of time to write.

In their infinite wisdom, Facebook has blocked me from inviting people to my reader/fan group, the Hootin’ Holler, until Jan 18th. But you can still join, I just can’t send you an invitation. We have been really active – we’re doing a book challenge for 2020, telling progressive stories, playing word games, checking out free books, and so much more!

Also, don’t forget to sign up for my newsletter. We’re back on a twice a month schedule and I’ve made a little format change that I hope you will enjoy.

    1. There are three brightness modes now, sort of. We’ve had night mode for a while which dims during hours you set. But now there is a light and dark mode. It affects all Apple screens and apps that utilize it. It makes the backgrounds darker and I’ve found much easier on the eyes. It’s easy to try it, I wish I’d done it sooner.

    1. I normally don’t either but Apple makes it so much easier to move things! Looking forward to the lighter weight but same screen size as my MacBook Pro.
