I’m sure you have all noticed my lack of posting over the last few days. There are many reasons.
1. I can only be on my butt for short periods and I cannot type in any other position so I’m limited to what I can do. For some of my limited time, I have been playing piano working on Bach’s Prelude in C Major. I saw it being played on a Mentalist rerun and it looked easy so I decided to learn it which I have. So now, part of my sitting up time is playing the Prelude twice and then return to lying on my back reading.
2. I’m having my master bathroom redone. Last week they did the demolition. It took three days. They had to jackhammer the shower pan and the tile in the toilet area and then level out the destruction with concrete. There’s a fine layer of dust throughout the house. They got the plumbing in. Today they are laying the tile and later this week, the new cabinets go in. Then, the granite guys can come and make their templates. Don’t know when they’ll do their stuff. Meanwhile, I have to use the guest bathroom which is nowhere near as accessible as the master bathroom. The shower is really a pain in the ass. That puts me in a foul mood. I hate home improvement projects! This one has at least two more weeks to go.
3. My desktop computer is on its last legs. I think it is 8 or 9 years old which makes it positively ancient. I’ve been backing up important stuff like porn and all my Turbo Tax files so I can put them on the new computer which I’ll prolly buy this week. What’s amazing is I’m able to put all the data on an 8 Gig thumbdrive. I remember when I used to have to use a 100 Meg Zip drive for this. I’m running XP and it is no longer supported and I’ve been getting malware from somewhere and have had to restore from a backup twice in the past two weeks. It’s really kludgy and slow.
So, between the sore, the bathroom project, and my PC I’ve had enough to put me in a foul mood and detract from my blog. Fear not. I’ll be back to what passes for normal in my world shortly. Bear with me.
