30-Minute Warning XXVI

I thought of skipping another blogging day because I have nothing to say other than that today is an ordinary day. I did my daily rituals, worked a bit, and that’s it… until I saw my laptop battery fluctuating tonight.

I have been using my Youngest Brother’s old laptop since last year, and the device has been through a lot. The left speaker is broken and I cannot use my laptop without its charger. Then tonight, while I was checking on my WordPress dashboard, my laptop suddenly shut down. Of course, I checked my laptop charger if it was loose and then opened my laptop again. After rebooting, I checked on my laptop’s battery percentage, and it was going up and down like crazy; it went from 98% to 100% per second. I freaked out. Good grief.

I tried to unplug and replug the charger, which solved the problem. The battery is steady again. Thank goodness. But I may need to thoroughly check my laptop (especially the battery) or buy a new one.

What else? Speaking of buying something, I might settle with the Samsung Galaxy S24+ instead of the S24 Ultra. I may need to check both phones again before making my final decision, but I have to decide before the end of May to get a discount. Samsung has a sale this month apparently.

And… that’s it. That’s all I can say for now. See you on Friday.

10-Minute Warning LII

OK. What can I tell here in under 10 minutes?

First of all, I would like to say that in a few days, I will be publishing my 100th post here on The Dispatch. And as I approach a historic entry (for me, that is), I’m planning to make fewer Minute Warning posts. I’m planning to make more non-time pressure content like Gratitude Logs and Notes to Self. Watch this space, my friends!

And as for what happened today… other than helping someone with a small debt and having Jollibee’s Chickenjoy for dinner with my Father and Younger Brother, nothing much happened. Today has been OK. But at least it’s not a bad day.

And time’s up.
