I've been in hermit mode lately, which seems to be my most common mode at the moment but I've surfaced for the moment and thought I'd do an update...
Apparently when I go into hermit mode I lose track of time a lot, I've had a few online friends say to me “omg where have you been the last few months!” Because I havn't logged onto any chat programs. Apparently it doesn't occur to people to send an e-mail these days. I always check e-mail at least once a day even if I'm in hermit mode.. I do work on the computer a lot, after all.
As for the 'last few months' bit... To me it felt like a week or two! I guess my awareness of time is pretty flimsy.
I'm typing this on a laptop that is not connected to the net because it doesn't have wireless and I'm sitting outside and don't like dragging an ethernet cord around. I have another laptop that does have wireless but the battery is useless and I don't want to drag a power cord around.
Of course I have my PC but that's not portable at all, obviously.
It is quite frustrating.
One laptop (without wireless) that is old but in very good condition, portable, battery works for an hour or so.
One laptop (with wireless) that is newer and more powerful but in terrible condition, have to plug in a keyboard and keep it plugged into the power.
If only I could combine the two, I'd have a good portable laptop!
But anyway, I am settling for typing this on here then uploading it later.
I am moving house in about three weeks, this house is just way too big and expensive. The new place is cheaper and literally half the size (this is a 4x2 with 2 living areas, the new one is a 2x1 with 1 living area). The backyard is miniscule, unfortunately, which means I'll have to start taking the dog out for play and walks or she'll go mad with boredom! On the up-side I do need the exercise, I'll just have to find the time.
One thing I am really looking forward to is moving away from the 'black wattle' that is flowing in my front garden. I'm extremely allergic to it and have been waking up every morning with blood in my sinuses. I few days ago I have a high fever, I assume there was infection in my sinuses. 2 days of rest and lots of paracetamol seems to have allowed my body to fight it off, but my glands are still swollen and it hurts to swallow. I'm taking antihistamines and paracetamol every day in an attempt to keep it at a manageable level.
My little girl has been suffering too, her infections are turning up in her ears. I assume she's allergic to the same thing as her problems started at the same time as mine. Sometimes I almost think she is my biological daughter! She will be 5 in 20 days! The day after we move house in fact, hows that for a big birthday present?!
I'll stop rambling on now, as I don't think anyone really reads this anymore anyway. Maybe I shouldn't bother heheh..
The webpage I was planning on (re)building is on hold indefinitely, as I simply don't have the time for a project that big at the moment. Maybe I'll have some time at the end of year holidays.
