I didn’t call the solar guy about my malfunctioning solar system. The charger is dead. The batteries aren’t taking or holding a full charge.
My laptop battery has been blinking with a code that means “replace soon�; it only holds ½ the charge it used to.
I just can’t make myself buy new stuff. The winter is about over and I don’t know if I’ll be here next winter so I’m not going to throw a bunch of money at the system. I’m not even sure I want a system.
My son is setting up everything on my two-watt OLPC laptop, and will send it back to me for my birthday.
When the sun shines, I can use my laptop. If there is something, I want to do and the sun isn’t shining, I can run the laptop off the generator. Just no more days spent aimlessly wandering on the computer; do what I want on it and get off.
I feel relief, like I’m getting my life back. Once again, I have time.
