Night Shift

Hi @Former-Member

I want another laptop - the one I have now is a good quality computer and I have been using it for getting on for 3.5 years and 3 years is pretty good for a computer that is used a lot nearly every day -

I am an info-nerd - I love information - and I seem to retain what I read so for me a computer is more than something handy or just for social media - I am into studying whatever interests me so I don't have to read books I don't like or write essays or do exams - I just read whatever I like

And yes - when it comes to what movies we want to stick to what is good for us - Romantic Comedies can irritate me but then - I am into M A S H and also I have recorded some lighter movies - and I like deep things too -

But I watched A Beautiful Mind the other night and somehow I think I have read enough and seen enough of that movie - but then I have a couple of Steven King movies and I watch them a lot - I record movies from th TV and there are a couple of romantic comedies there - one is Remember Sunday and if you ever get the chance to watch that it is really good - happy ending of course

So I saw my doctor late this afternoon and he was able to treat the pain which improves the world a lot - sometimes I fall asleep after the injection and if it's quiet in the clinic and the nurse doesn't have a radio on I can fall asleep - and it is a really relaxing sleep - and then I find I can manage my chores at home - without my spine seizing up on me and "snatching" at me and making me drop things

The weather - my family is weather sensy - sometimes I can predict the weather just by walking outside for a short time - but this winter it has been too difficult - like rain, rain, showers and more rain and a chance of sunshine

So as my dd and I weren't meeting for coffee we texted - and agree that there are strong signs of spring - and I pass this on with joy - it has been a tough winter for everyone and my dd works in a nursery - which means she is outside a lot -

Thanks for your concern @Former-Member - it means a lot

seriously hearing that re my last few weeks ..frustrating beyond lol

@PeppiPatty I do worry that your BB might sometimes be a bit of a WH but probably not exactly the same as dear @Faith-and-Hope 's WH ... dont you just love the flexibility of language.

@TAB I never actually went to see AC/DC but knew plenty in that scene (before I went back to classical). The music industry can be tough in so many ways .. young classical hot shots take performance enhancing drugs too ...

Played JS Bach and Beethoven to get off heroin, in my little flat in STK, in 1982 visited by a muso from Spectrum whose daddy was a nuclear physicist.

I have had a tough life ... but prefer respect to pity ... at least it hasnt been boring.

Thank you @Kurra for suggesting the Waldstein .. my mum did not really play it .. I heard it first .. live in a loungeroom from my Telecom boyfriend's father, who was also a cellist and used to work for Radio Australia ... part of my tekky journey ... so playing the Waldstein always makes me think of him ... he was the 2nd suicide in the string of them that started in 1986. In that case the father was a far better man than the son ...

I dont have a proper set up for listening to CDs ... my son does his on his playstation attached to TV ... I tried setting some up at my end of the house .. still in progress ... my computer's speakers are so atrocious its just easier on the ears to play it myself ...

Sorry to see you go @Pinkeye

@Mazarita you havent posted for a week so am thinking about you ... I know you are pretty sensible so I am not "worried" but caring thoughts go your way.

oh my goodness @Former-Member thats exactly how i feel, i get distracted going from one room to the next or forget what i went into the next room for! 😞 so over it! i wish my brain would just start working... and focussing on the things i choose it to. im exhausted. and probably from all that walking in circles too!

im doing a lot of the 'shoulds' thinking.. i should be this and should be that and never getting anywhere. a thousand goals on the go, which only make me feel even more a failure.. and even though i KNOW all this rationally i cant seem to shake it off, which frustrates me even further and want to run away from everything. AGH..

my Dusty has deserted me for tonight, he's asleep with my daughters arm snuggled over him, two heads on the pillow blurgh lol but still very cute! they're best friends already

Glad your dog is settled into the family. @Former-Member

Our cats have been a life saver .. this week they were sitting alert on my son's bed waiting for him ... to come back from girlfriend ... it was very cute.

@Former-Member I have spent a fair time doing domestics in that mode ... but muddle through in the end ... I think it is pretty common really ... take care ... I am glad you have a place in respite ... a house full of young people ... gorgeous and enlivening as they can be ... would still be hard yakka.

Yep .... brain-drain .... parenting .... snap .... 😏
