Hi I’m new here looking to make friends. I’ve been a DL for many years now and have felt so alone. Hope to meet some kind new friends here.
I’m from the uk
for the last week, it seemed like another humdrum week - I do what I need to do, and PRAY that something GOOD happen to me to me for a change: I sometimes feel that I an run down, and that sucks, but 2 things that happened this week were memorable for a couple reasons.
1. PT: for THREE weeks in a row, I was NOT in too much pain while building up stamina and making sure that I am stretched out: very soon I WILL be ready to mount the prone stander again: They also switched up the therapists: The new PT has training in Neurological stuff, so that is a plus: I have NOT felt this good AFTER a session in MANY years, and that is the truth - The people there REALLY know what they are doing, and I don't know why, but something WAS imminent, and let me just say that I was SO HAPPY that I was CRYING, being thankful for all that my family, and friends and team members do and have done for me.
2. A week or so ago, my mom wanted me to investigate what it would cost for computer replacements, as hers (I believed) was giving her problems, and I thought that My Mom was replacing a laptop - NOPE, but when I didn't do it for a week, my mom called me: She said that our cousin made one last request before he passed away: He wanted to do something special: He and I are tech geeks, so we like to talk about tech alot: What My MOM said to me shocked me for my MOM said that before he died, our cousin made this request: He wanted to make sure that I was "taken care of" as far as a newer computer. You see, the iMac that I was using was about 15 years old, and it would probably on the way out, and I REALLY was wondering how that would happen.
Wednesday Morning I was talking to my mom again, and she wanted to "expedite" the purchase: because DJT might decide to slap tariffs on goods: As I was helping her, she told me that our cousin wanted her to take some money to do that: Mom wanted me to choose 2 machines: and then, she called me back, and guess WHO has a NEW Apple M4??
ME - all I could so was sit on my bed in shock and awe, mouth hanging OPEN, and DAMN was THAT cool! I chose one that was cheaper than the other: I GOT my first choice: The best one, and I will ALWAYS remember who gave of himself even when it probably was hard for him. I am so HAPPY I could SCREAM with joy, as this computer will be the FIRST One that I own: NEW right outta the box, and this will be the second mac I have had since about 2015.
SPECS:
Apple M4, it has 10 CPU'S, and 10 Graphics Cores
Memory: 24 Gigs Ram
HDD: 512GB, SSD
Display: 24 In, Retina display
Magic Keyboard / Magic Mouse
Color: GREEN (man this thing is a DREAM come TRUE - like people get a new Car or a HOUSE, but for me, getting something that I can COUNT on again is awesome!!)
Its times like this that make me THANKFUL, and APPRECIATED: Knowing that some day, something good will come of it: I also got some help today with getting rid of stuff I don't need anymore, is pretty cool: I wish all my days could make me feel like this: Pain is the pits!
This new Apple M4 will serve me for many years to come, and each time I sit down in front of it, I will do it in HIS honor! Wherever he is, I know that He is watching over me, knowing how grateful I am.
Have a Great Day!!
