I have to write this using my tablet rather than my laptop because the laptop is in my study, hooked up to a monitor, and I don't want to move from this chair.

  That's just unfair.  You shouldn't have to choose between a comfortable chair and a favored device.  :'(

I know.

And now I'm writing this on my laptop, in that comfy chair, but feel I need the large monitor to do some work. My life is hell.

  And if the laptop had a bigger screen, it would be too big to hold in your lap.  You just can't win!  :'(

Not to mention that I have to carry it all the way to the study.

  I could watch a show on my TV, or I could watch a DVD on my computer, but not both at once.  :'(

  My DVD player is on my desktop.  I can't carry that around so I have to use it in one room.  :'(

  Dunkin' Donuts makes the best jelly donuts, but if you go there late in the morning, they're gone.  :'(

i miss the variety of gluten free goodies in the U.S. here we have to make our own or drive to the states to get it.
imagine having to drive for an hour just to get cake.
they do sell GF cake here but it's not the kind we like. it's positively primitive here in montreal. the cake we like that they sell in the U.S. is made in canada but they don't sell it here. we mostly have to make do with things like apple and strawberry rhubarb pie.

  My local supermarket usually has the new magazines and tabloids on the shelves on Friday.
  They didn't have them yesterday, and I looked again today, and they still didn't have them!  :'(
