Bloggus interuptus

I had intended on this period of recommended living to be recorded daily (despite having a small audience because I do it for my own selfish ego), but my chromebook just died.  So I have two ways to connect to the internet: my wife's phone she's letting me borrow and the guest room computer which is so disabled and broken it is literally, not figuratively, held together with duck tape.

(FYI: It is duck tape, not duct tape.  I will fight you on this.)

The guest room computer is also next door to my 3 year old son's.  And when I can get online is while he's asleep.  So there's a stealth problem.

I'm trying to see how well I can do without a computer of my own.

Instant hurdles:
This is November.  I write a novel every November.
I keep track of personal goals and items and things to read on Reddit and my phone isn't great at editing those posts to update them.
I download shows and movies for my wife on the Chromebook.

Ideas for solutions:
I write the novel on the guest room computer somehow.
I'm transferring my Reddit items over to Google Keep which works better on my phone.
I download on the guest computer which is easier than writing, but still involves connecting an ethernet cable to the next room across the living room floor and not disturbing a sleeping toddler.

As for how I'm actually doing on this experiment, I'm doing good on food and lifestyle, bad on exercise (I'm more active, but not in the "30 minutes of cardio" way) and unnecessary spending (I took some friends out to eat and I'm buying a gift for my mother in law).

I showed my doctor my list to talk about my diet (she concluded my high LDL cholesterol is genetic) and she liked it so much she made a copy for herself.
