hi everyone.
i hope you all have a good, relaxing weekend... with some nice weather.
Barbara, dang i'd love to go with you to that art fair.
i guess i'll come along in spirit. haven't been to an art fair in...
... since i left the US. seems like forever ago. here, they have other, more exhibitiony things, but not the same sorts of fairs at all. i used to go to one where i lived in Florida whenever i could. i am not big on crowds but it was in a park and crowds could be avoided. i miss that semi-aimless ambling around and getting something to munch on while looking at good bad and just plain strange art... in all forms. talking to the artists in their tents.
well, i hope you enjoy it Barbara, and the class too if you take it. you'll have to report back!
i am very frustrated with my new computer - have not yet been able to install XP because i first need to back up Vista (after reading about 4 or 5 i'm NOT kidding "addendums" i see they include a way to do this - couldn't they have just included a Vista recovery CD - idiots!) anyway, i am afraid of going ahead with XP in case of some problem... vital missing drivers etc... so. this will take a while. guess i need to buy some DVDs. i.e. blank ones to put stupid Vista on.
no i am NOT excited. this stuff is overwhelming me. and i know i need to be using the new computer ASAP for the benefit of my back and stuff. for now i have found new positions with cushions.
oh... and death week is over. man, PMS was AWFUL (i hadn't counted so i didn't know if it was that). i no longer can tweak up my Zoloft since i'm off the med now. i need/want to learn better coping skills.
oh, i am looking into cheap swimming at a local gym.
it is $5 per session (no instructor - i just need to swim, already know how lots of ways anyway lol.) that will help i hope. i need to find the follow through to follow up / call / visit gym / get bathing suit etc.
i am struggling to motivate myself. been doing little things like cooking at times. making bed every day. trying to try. i feel very downtrodden and lonely.
