Laptop lament

I don't know how I coped in the days before my laptop. I only decided to get the thing as a means of actually getting access to a computer as at the time Craig would hog the main PC literally allday everyday. Now he lives with my Dad again and I can now access my PC whenever I want so really there's no need to miss my laptop which I have lent to my other brother. Scott borrowed the laptop to entertain himself whilst he worked away from home last week. I should have it back by now but he's asked if he can borrow it a little longer as he's finding using his computer a little difficult as he can't grip the mouse properly at the mo.

In theory there's no reason why I should miss my laptop but I do, it's portable so I can work wherever I like (usually in bed), it's convenient (I tend to want to use it late at night/early in the morning and it's there right when I need it) and most of all I guess it's because it's mine.

The funny thing is over the last few days I've had a bit of difficulty sleeping, normally I would boot up my laptop and do something productive (or not so productive ie Facebook!) rather than waste time lieing in bed not sleeping. During this period of slumberlessness I have had a plethora of ideas flowing in my tiny brain and have found myself getting a little frustrated that I can't put these thoughts down into some electronic format be it a blog or just a few paragraphs of notes in Word. I did scribble a few pages of notes down in a small notepad which ideally I should be using but I seem to reject the idea and find myself just not writing anything down thinking if it's good enough I'll remember it in the morning. I suppose that's the danger of coming up with such thoughts when you're lieing in bed and of course the convenience of having a laptop computer to hand. Guess for now it's back to pen and paper and the trusty old PC to type up any subsequent scribblings.
