Really? No, not really. I’ve come to the decision that I’m going to have to leave the house to study. Whether it’s sitting in the car in a quiet section of a parking lot, the public library, somewhere ANYWHERE but where these boys can yank the book OUT of my hands. Or “Mommy can you take this purple piece off” me to death. Or where I can’t hear Spongebob/WonderPets/Hi-5/Peep or whatever else it is they want to watch.
A break from Daniel’s Wall Of Sound ™ would also be a good thing. Have I told you about this? He doesn’t know how to whistle, but he can let out a yodel that will shatter glass. He can also sing “Hail to the Chief” with a rather endearing “uh” sound. But mostly? Oh hell, describing it’s impossible. I’ll go to walmart and pick up a mic for the lappy.
I have some posts brewing in my head, and even more sitting in the “drafts” section. I can’t seem to touch them right now, putting that kiss of done-ness on them.
I like laptopland. Much MUCH more than I thought I would. A few things are disorienting – I’m not quite certain of my feelings for Vista. There is no real desk-space for me anymore (the boys’ dinosaur Win98 non-internet computer is on my desk); networking the two computers is an exercise in impatience and so my archival files remain on the desktop. Touchpad mousing drives me nuts. I keep touching it. WHILE typing. It won’t recognize my thumbdrive. Hopes are minimal that it’ll recognize my fist-drive.
Em? What the hell’s a fist drive?
Pull a 10 gig hard drive out of a dead computer and hook it to one of these.
My blood pressure has been startlingly normal for the last few days. I’m keeping track of it – hopefully I can completely stop taking the meds soon. Actually I oughta stop taking it now, or maybe every other day or something…I don’t think this is a fluke.
The sofa badly needs cleaning. A part must be purchased for the steamcleaner first. Where is the steamcleaner? Loaned to a friend of Dad’s. I SWEAH if he doesn’t bring the damn thing home today I’m gonna go buy a new one. After all, I have a credit card with zero balance, right? *smirks* Let Mom keep the old one – I’ll keep the new one.
Okay, that’s enough bitching for one session. Tomorrow I’ll be all sunshine and flowers. Providing I can find photo editing software that plays nicely with Vista. Heh.
Also? I missed an opportunity for extra credit in my Religion class yesterday. Forgot what the date was. Timeless nature and all that.
On this day..
