Now that it is a long time in the past, I can admit the truth. There were not minutes, nor moments, but days when I felt totally overwhelmed with the responsibilities and care of The Fabulous Four. Not that I didn't love each and everyone. Of course, I did, and still do, but there were spaces of fear when I felt inadequate in coping with their activity, enthusiasms and yes, needs. The moments of panic didn't last long, but they were memorable and for a brief second or perhaps a bit more yesterday they came to mind. While I no longer have to care for anyone other than myself, I have three devices and/or computers in my possession. While one will hopefully return to its former Apple home in the near future, it currently needs to communicate with its maker. This involves its bloodline, a USB cable and cord. It's younger brother, a newer model, also has a different USB cable and cord, and of course, its sister, The Apple Ipad Pro, has a different one. I must not get them confused. I know that, but it is a responsibility since they at moments seem identical except for length. I would like to give them each their own individual area to rest until my transactions are complete, but the apartment does not have that amount of space. They also have a desperate need to be charged constantly rather like an infant requiring feeding. I have an efficient abode and quite sufficient for my own electrical needs (at the moment I do not require charging), but those that evolved from the world of Apple are far more demanding. Occasionally I sense a well hidden wish to return to the world of a Parker Pen, blue ink and a ruled pad. And of course, that is only a silly thought, But is it?
