Precious New Tablet

I graduated high school in 2005, and pending my first year at MECA, my father gifted me with my Wacom Tablet as a graduation gift. It lasted me all through MECA, and this last year after it. It was my best buddy, my most precious possession. It was a little beat up, but it did the job beautifully. Sadly, last week, I had left the tablet on the trunk I use as a computer desk, and I had misjudged my wonderful cat. Mia likes to push things off counters. All the time. Anything. And the massive smashing sound I heard from the other room was in fact my tablet, which was destroyed. The last nail in the coffin of its poor beat up existence. It had a long life of five years. <3

So to Ebay I went! And Ebay was successful! I feel very lucky to have found THE EXACT SAME TABLET, in a new pearly white color (as opposed to the blue that I had), barely used, and I won a late night auction for the low price of 47.00. SCORE. She came in today – my beautiful, new new tablet. The little sister of my first one.
