home but out of reach
My computer is (still) broken. Because Dell have realised that the way to keep getting money out of people is to make power supplies that expire after eight months.
So on the plus point: I'm at home for a week, with parents and a varying number of brothers.
On the minus point my new power supply almost certainly arrived in Oxford this morning, where I could not reach it. I'm writing from my Dad's laptop, but he's going to want it back at some point soon.
Also I can only write with any ease on a keyboard, and thus have achieved nothing in February.
But it's my birthday this week, and I will be at home. (One day, I will work out how to call both Oxford and my parent's house home without feeling like I'm betraying part of myself).
