When it rains it pours…

BAH!  So we’ve recently (like, last two weeks) paid for textbooks, and my new rollator, and more textbooks… and now I have to buy a laptop battery.

Today my laptop says that it is plugged in but not charging.  Of course, my warranty has expired.  I called Dell and they ran me through some things, and they have thus decreed that the battery is dead.
After several screams in frustration and some creative cursing, I called my folks.  My dad and I looked online and found batteries cheaper then Dell wants to sell me, by more than half.  My darling husband didn’t freak about needing a new battery, especially since it’s less than $100.
It’s just not something we need right now.
