wish I could hibernate

by husbandorcat @ 20 Dec. 2005 - 11:08:10

I'm spoiling for a fight this morning, which is most unlike me, I get depressed but I don't usually get angry with anyone apart myself. But today I am just feeling really p****d off with everything and everybody. (This is just a statement of how I'm feeling, not suggesting that my mood is directly related to anything that follows, because to be honest I don't know where it's come from)).
Got a neeeew keyboard on Sunday which iiis obviously more sensitive than what I'm used to as it keeeps multiple typing letters without me knowlingly leaving my fingers on the keys particularly long.
son has now been home for over 48 hours, and none of us has said anything to him about the little difficulty we were having a couple of mmmmonths ago, obviously we are deep in denial and back to playing happy families.
He lefffft his kkkkeybboard behhind at Uni, and 'borrowed' mine, we went to buy a cheap replacement in PC World and found we could get a cordless keboard and mouse for 5 quid more than the cheapest bogg standard keyboard, seemmmed like a good idea at the time, but looks like it will take some getting used to.
decorated the tree on Sunday and wondered why it is that I used to really love doing that and now it is just a chore, whatever I do to it it alwyas looks like a mess. Snatccch of a song (told you II have one for every occasion), 'once upon a winter time, I lost christmas in my mmmmind (the singer is Melanie, and it's from 30 odd years ago))...
The oooother thing with this keyboarrrrd is that the shift key doesn't always seem to work - maybe I take my finger off to soon.

(the multiple thing applllllies to the space bar and enter key too.)
I wantttt to curl up in a lllllittle corner somewhere and not have to go anywhere or do anything, just read and listen to music - but i have to go out every evening this week because my daughter is in the local panto and I am helping backstage with the dressing. Dress rehearsal was last night which meant we didn't get home till midnight, at least from now on it won't be so late.
have dreamt about my European group for the last two nights now, incluuding the french guy, on sunday it was just starting to get interesting when I woke up – at 3:45 – that always happens – you could say it’s the story of my life, I suppose, just when it starts to get interesting, it never quite happens!
Oh, the other thing I was going to mention was my new eyeshadow, couldn’t get it open then when I did my finger slipped and stuck into it, scattering it over the sink and getting it all over my finger, so I smudged it on (all over the lid as well as the crease to use it up) instead of using an applicator, ended up with a Goth effect, not an attractive look in a woman my age!! left me reflecting on my general clumsiness and incompetence.
Still,after tomorrow the days will start getting longer again...
Happy solstice.

Listen you old FART!!! you would not let me hibernate so NO WAY will I allow this wallowing in self pity.(ha ha)How old are you, has it not occured to you that age might be the reason for these mood swings? Of course, I am lucky here, my first round of chemo chucked me into menopause and I have never looked back! Not a route I would wish on you however so, sorry, you will have to take the long route.
ALSO, WHY does son need to know what went on in your lives whilst he was away? At his age, all they care about is i: computers,ii: food on the table and iii: are his parents walking about to be able to do his bidding.
I do agree about wireless keyboards though, and that I might just blame on age, we are too heavy-handed, the kids have the knack from all the IM'ing they do.

Hah, sussed it, went to 'settings', 'control panel', 'Keyboard', and there is a thingy you can change for 'repeat delay'.
There's life in the old fart yet!!!
Nine years in computing has to count for something, even if it was BG ('Before Gates' - and we called it 'Data Processing' in those days, not 'Information Technology')
Just wish I could get my picture of the Coliseum at midnight (peak experience of my year) onto my header.

Scuuuuse me, but I THINK you'll find it's almost 20... (I know cos I was pregnant at the time, and you were shortly after!!!)
What kind of a friend are you anyway, forgetting a thing like that!!!

But what's the kitten getting for Christmas? That's what I want to know.

A ceramic food bowl (as opposed to old mascarpone cheese pot) and a wobbly toy thing. They are also getting a stocking with two packets of felix treats and a furry mouse between them, given that the old boy isn't really into furry mice these days (not unless they're still breathing, anyway), she'll probably get that, too.

Good morning you old fart, and pardon my math I am sure! So glad my tone stopped the rot yesterday, although your comments about the letch at the panto certainly gave you cause for disgruntlement to say the least.

Not sure about 'stopping the rot'.
Yes, you have known me a long time... long enough to know that 'mood swings' haven't just appeared in the last couple of years, but are an intrinsic part of my personality... possibly even my defining characteristic.
but hey, it's Christmas,I guess I can forgive you!

re the keyboard; there is a setting called repeat that you can slow down, if you play with the settings this will eliminate the repeat problem, lemme know if you want help

your cat is gorgeous

dexy :O)
