Boredom Question

Hiya All!!!

I am terribly prone to boredom! Just call me Mrs. Antsy Pants here! I was wondering if anyone knows roughly how much it would cost to rent a laptop for a couple/few weeks to noodle away the hours (I'm working on a writing project and also have a ton of computer games that I love) since I know I won't be comfy sitting at my desk computer.

Thanks in advance!!

I'm not sure on rental costs. Do you have a Rent A Center near you? I'm sure they rent laptops, you can give them a call and ask them. Do you have any friends you could borrow one from? I luckily purchased a laptop at the beginning of this year when I started taking college courses online. I stopped taking courses in July when I really started to get too sick to focus, but the laptop has still come in really handy during my illness. Good luck on getting one!!

I don't know how much it costs to rent one but my doctor told me to make sure the laptop was so close to me that I wouldn't have to lift it at all. Since I'm going to spend my daytime hours on the couch, I'm fixing a table that is the same height as my couch so that I can slide the laptop over to me. Also, I will have the phone next to me so I can surf the net and talk to my sisters on the couch also.

Another way I'm going to try to beat boredom (I'm a Mrs. Antsy Pantsy too) is that friends are lending me all their latest DVDs to watch. I, too, have a writing project that I need to finish too.

Hang in there,

Kim,

Do you have a couch or recliner close enough to your desk puter that you could use a wireless keyboard and mouse? My DS has wireless everything on his puter and loves it.

Hi,

Just an idea, I set up my desktop computer next to my recliner with the monitor on a table set at an angle where I could see it, and sat with the keyboard in my lap. It worked perfectly! (I had a laptop from work that I used for awhile too, until I started having "hot flashes" and realized finally that it was the heat from the laptop and NOT my ovaries having hormonal issues!!)
