Tuesday Night Rituals

My life may be taking a turn for the better this week. The IRS notified me that I was eligible for more money than I thought on my taxes and that they automatically adjusted this for me. I also received a notice today from the IRS that I might be able to get even more! How exciting! There have been a lot more things to prompt my notion that we're on an upswing.

My husband's computer finally came from the insurance agent. They ordered him a new one so that he could have it back to finish out the semester--long story short, we threatened that the damages would be a lot more expensive if he wasn't able to finish out his semester. His new computer is gigantic. It's a 17" monitor. I mean, I realize that it's only a little bit larger than mine, but it seems really big! To put it in laptop perspective, most laptops only have the numbers over the keyboard. JJ's laptop has a whole keypad to the right of the regular keyboard! Really big. It also has two little speakers at the front and a subwoofer. Whoa! Jealous!

I'm glad that he got his laptop. I can tell he's relaxed since he got it. I think he doesn't have to worry so much now. He spent all night setting it up. I'm glad that he doesn't have to freak out any more. It'll also be nice to not have to share my laptop anymore. :)

It's funny. I guess I never really considered that we'd be sitting on our sides of the king-sized bed, laptops upon legs, tapping away at the keyboards. When I pictured our relationship, I didn't really picture this. It's kind of interesting though. It's nice to be together, sharing an activity in a space. I mean, we're doing our own thing, but in a pleasant way. I'm sensing a new ritual for us. Movies and computer time Tuesday nights now? Who knows! It's kind of cool though. We'll chalk it up to the progression of the modern relationship.
