Last week of January!

Where has this month gone? I feel like I’ve accomplished nothing, and yet I know I have. I spent the past week setting up my new Mac Mini M1 desktop computer system so I could have the same files on it and on my MacBook Pro.

What a debacle that was… Yes, it’s fixed now, but I spent almost four days trying something out, finding out it wouldn’t work for me, undoing it, and finding a better way to do it. Sigh… But my new monitor is working, and there is less cable mess. I still want to reduce that clutter so am looking at a different docking hub. The one I am using semi-works but it slides all over when I need to plug/unplug.

Here’s a reminder of what the first iteration looked like (using Stu’s monitor).

Here’s what it looks like now.

I did move the desk lamp back to the right. It turned out to be too inconvenient to turn off & on, but with the added light from the overhead LEDs I’m not writing in my shadow. Oh, and the iPad is hiding the plugs/cables in the back corner. That hasn’t changed much. LOL!

I was exhausted after getting things where I wanted/needed them and took Friday off, lying around and playing games all day. Much needed rest & recuperation!

Other than that, not much is new in our world. The week started out cold and rainy, continued on to cold and sunny. That let Stu take the #2doods for a walk. He’s been using his Apple watch to get in a lot more exercise every day, even if it’s just walking in place while watching YouTube videos.

So a busy week, but not a bad week! How was yours?

Ciao for now!
