Today Howard and I loaded Itunes onto my computer and copied our joint music library there. The point of this is for me to be able to create a library of music that I like and can use without messing up Howard’s ratings and settings. So I’ve just killed an hour poking around to see what music is in there. I threw out things that I don’t like and discovered some old favorites. The point of all this is that eventually Howard will replace his current ipod with a newer version and I can have the old one. Then I can have music around the house even when Howard is elsewhere. I don’t know when the new ipod for Howard will happen. I wish it could be this Christmas, but we’ve already been too spendy and all the things that we’ve been “making do” are beginning to break and need replacing. Just today I had to replace the toy cupboard because the drawers on it completely broke. In fact I should be assembling those shelves rather than poking around our music library. Sigh. But music has so much less work involved.
