There's an octopus in your lunchbox

...a true story from an aquarium.

And yesterday my laptop adapter cord got crunched between the metal jaws of my reclining apparatus. It's quite mangled indeed, so I ordered a new one and am using a backup to post.

I had no idea there was so much inside an adapter cord. It was a bit of a science lesson, albeit an expensive one.

So as long as this is science day at Wheelie Catholic, I might as well tell you that I also got my new gadget, which is leading me to conduct testing of all kinds. Whenever I get a new piece of equipment, there's a learning curve, especially if I haven't had one before.

This is why I think people with disabilities tend to be very resourceful - in general. Not only do pwd adjust to environments that are often not suitable to their physical bodies but use devices that need figuring out. About 3 am I decided that the set up I was using needed tweaking and, most importantly, I need more lighting. But with the right set up, all will be well.

I do wish some of these devices came with a lab coat though. And a head lamp. That would be cool too.
