One of these days (or three to four days)

Just went through a major electronic problem and I have to tell you it was rough. My laptop would not charge and found the problem to be a broken wire in the charger.

Problem is, this is my heart and sole and thought I could get by with just ordering a new one on-line ($100+ by the way). Really thought that I could get by for 3 or 4 days to let me relax and then about 6 hours into it, I felt sweaty, nervous, started thinking about if a prospect were to try and e-mail me, I'd miss them. This is a slow market and have many prospects I've spoken to over the past few weeks that were interested in buying, made me fix the cord that was broken real quick. 

Too addicted to selling real estate I think...what do you think?

Hi Bob, I have been transporting my laptop back and forth to the office lately. I noticed today that the cord was showing some wear. I constantly twirl it and stuff it into my case. I need a back up or I guess or it wouldn't hurt to have an extra. Thanks for sharing

Unfortunately our laptops and cell phones are becoming another limb just like an arm or leg.

Bob, I have to agree with Sherry, this electronic items are certainly not luxury items any longer.  I would be like you, going nuts with out being connected!

I have two desktop computers, one laptop, and five external hard drives, all integral parts of my life. Now I have to schedule time to go out and enjoy the hummingbirds flitting around my plants, play with Zoey so she knows I still love her, even have to schedule time to shower, shave, eat, and brush them ol' teeth. If anyone has better connections with s/he who runs the universe and can get me a week's worth of 48 hour days, I would be eternally grateful. Thanks. LOL

3-4 days?. Did you need medication to get through it? I don't think I would have lasted that long!
