Agh. So, I eked out a few minutes a day yesterday and the day before, rereading what I’d written in Google Docs on my phone and then opening my computer just to compose new stuff in the doc, and then closing the computer and reading again on my phone. I was busy too, so it was just as well.

I asked Vegetable Manager what kind of Macbook he has, since he has one. He thought, and said, “2014?” Mine’s a 2014, with the Magsafe 2, and he was like “ah that’s what I have!” He only has one charger, though, no spares. And I didn’t see him again to ask if I could plug it in during the day, but– it’s Chicken Day, I thought, I’d probably ask to plug it in during the afternoon.

I was complaining about it in the morning and one of the apprentices was like, “Oh I have a 2014 Macbook too, and I just got a new adapter and fixed my battery so it lasts, I can loan you one.”

At the end of lunch she got a distressing family phone call, so I figured I’d let her handle that. I went back to VegMan, and he was like “oh right yeah, hang on, well, hm,” and I said listen if you just want to leave your charger where it is and plug my computer in for a while and then if you need it again just go for it?” because he had computer work he had to do in the afternoon.

At that very moment, BIL came in from the porch. “A package arrived,” he said, and I gleefully seized it, looked inside, and it was the new adapter I’d ordered off Amazon on Sunday that had said “arriving Tuesday! (or friday)”

you know that if I had not had two offers of adapters that would never have arrived. But it did. So. My battery is charged and I am saved.

Also we processed like 280 chickens today and i’m really tired but that’s okay.
