I tell you I have this theory. It goes where, you're the one who's not my sister. Cuz mom adopted you from a shoe box full of baby howler monkeys, and never told you cuz it could hurt your delicate baby feelings.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh geez, Theo -- fingers crossed for R!

Yikes, msbelle, although it is seasonal job season?

In opposite news, my new computer came! It seems good. I am putting off transferring everything from the old one, because that's going to be a nightmare.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

My laptop's dying. I need to do a full backup on it, and tomorrow is booked, so it will have to wait. I hate backups, I'm terrified I'll put a finger wrong and end up down some heretofore unseen rabbit hole. Stupid technology. Why can't we all just think at each other, selectively?

Yeah, the backup is scaring me, too.

Um, that's a lot to earn in a month, msbelle? Good luck?

Thanks for the love, y'all. Got a few things done, sent a few emails, told a few folks I was logging off early and would be back online later. ...it's later and I'm still procrastinating it.

Wrist still hurts a lot today. I have it in a splint, which helps, except it also makes typing on my work laptop a pain, I keep hitting keys I don't mean to. Am icing it a lot. Right now it's way more painful than my ankle!

Oh, and good luck to Zoe tomorrow!

I don't back up my computer nearly as often as I should

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Good health ~ma to Zoe! Glad she's feeling better.

meara, that SUCKS. I hope your wrist heals quickly. I feel you on the exhaustion. I'm so done with this.

I have tendonitis in my Achilles' tendon and it hurts worse than my broken ankle did. And suddenly I've developed what seems to be arthritis in my right middle finger; at first I was waking up with it feeling like it slipped out of joint, and now it aches all the time. Oh, and I'm almost sure I've fucked up the healing leg break again, when I jumped off the garden wall. (It's a low wall!) What the fork. I don't want another forking surgery.

I wish my Magical Healing Powers actually worked, for people as well as doggies.

Ack, Zen! No further breakage! Are you going to the doctor soon?

I tried to go to sleep 45 minutes ago, I was feeling very very sleepy. And instead I laid here with thoughts of all the things I need to do, going through my head. Argh. Have given in and taken half a sleeping pill, but I took one last night and fear it's why this morning after hitting snooze twice I turned off my alarm and fell back asleep for an hour!


meara - Nov 27, 2018 10:28:04 pm PST #2538 of 30019

...still awake. Argh.

Hi meara! (I hope that you fell asleep by now).

Hey. New board.

I decided to pay a monthly fee and give up all my privacy to get 2 TB of Google Drive storage, and every file of even slight importance I own lives on it, solely because even for pretty techy people like me traditional backups are a nightmare.
