My best friend in all the land (i.e. the person who knows me better than anyone, besides my mom who I miss so much every day ) bought me a laptop that I didn't ask for or even wish for (mine having gone missing when my car was stolen last summer.)
This means I can go to the library and do job hunting (maybe get just one of normal job to replace my weirdly houred rwo jobs ) or even just relax at a table with my own stuff. I've been given the gift of more self-sufficiency at the hands of someone else's sufficiency.
It is nice to be loved in spite of self-loathing. Who would have thought?
