Laptop broke

Finally, I have my laptop back, it got time.
January 16th he went back, because cdrom-player was broken. Then February 28th I did get hem back, but as I wanted to surf it appeared that there was something wrong with the modem. Henk called the company and they said that they had updated the BIOS, but now he didn’t recognized the modem anymore. So again I had to send him back. And now finally I have him back and he works also.
All that time I had to miss my laptop, this wasn’t easy. I often cursed that I was bored, lying in my bed, and that I wanted my laptop back. Not that I was bored all the time, no I often was too tired to get bored.
Sometimes I managed to sit behind the computer of Henk for a short time so I could read my emails. But unfortunately the combination of sitting and reading doesn’t work well with me. I am improved that I can sit for a short while, but that is also enough for me. I don’t have to sit AND read, because that’s too much for me so I get so sick that I have to lie down again.
If you are used to a laptop and you don’t have him anymore… then you know what you miss… I really felt lonely. I wonder how I managed all those years lying on my bed WITHOUT laptop. What have I done to come through the day? Fairly speaking I don’t know anymore. Yes, I can mention some things like; watching TV or talking to Henk… but you don’t get your day filled with it. Weird isn’t it, that you forget so soon and that you forget how it felt like. Somewhere vaguely in my mind I remember a bit how it felt, but not quite exactly.
But I am very happy that I have finally my laptop back. Now I can email, chat and work on my site again.
At least I have something to do now instead of just lying on my bed.
