Am in a funny mood today! Want to do something, but don't, if you know what I mean. I have a list of jobs that need to be done, but, after looking at them, I need to either buy stuff, which I can't until Tuesday as have no money until then, or ring people and it's bank holiday so no-one about until Tuesday (again).
There is some gardening jobs I could do, but I'm really not in the mood as my neck and shoulders really hurt and one of the jobs involves digging! I'm not in the mood to sort out photos or set up the new printer.
I could weigh up the EBay stuff I want to sell, but Phil around and he'll start asking questions. He's already asked me what I wanted a bin liner for earlier! Why the hell does he think I need a bin liner? Does he think I'm going to dress up in it or make curtains from it or decorate the wall with it? I need a bin liner as I have rubbish to put in it you stupid man!
So, I have sorted out the corner under the window in the bedroom. It has a baby box in it and all the Body Shop stuff, which was in several boxes. I've managed to sort it all out and chuck out what was surplus and unnecessary, so the corner looks a lot tidier and hasn't got so many boxes in it. I've also sorted out the computer corner where all the paperwork/home ed stuff is. So filing done, rubbish cleared, recycling sorted, home ed stuff put away and tidied up. Computer area now doesn't look as if it'll be lost forever under files, paper and science stuff; hoorah!
Apart from that though, I've not done anything else on this glorious sunshiny day. My brain isn't feeling creative, so I'm not writing (apart from this). I'm not knitting as I want to sort out the blanket before I start anything new and I need to go buy backing fabric and ribbon to do that.
So, what to do, what to do?
Hate moods like this (unusual in this weather), can't get motivated or enthused. It may be because I was hoping to go to the cinema today and odd job tomorrow, but plans been changed so going to cinema tomorrow instead. Brain not good at last minute changes; it gets a little confused and feels a bit at a loose end. Hey ho!
On the plus side, I made a list of plants that I wanted earlier in the week and whilst outside pulling up some grass (so, yes, a teeny weeny bit of gardening done this morning whilst waiting for the kettle to boil) I discovered that one of the plants I wanted is already growing in my garden; just not in the right place. Thought I had some, but wasn't sure, so checked it whilst drinking the tea I made from the awaiting kettle and it is! Whoop whoop! Just need to transplant it and hope it doesn't die!
Anyway, cya! Hopefully I'll think of something to do so I don't feel like the day has been wasted.

I HATE TECHNOLOGY!!! WELL AT LEAST WHEN IT ISN'T WORKING PROPERLY.
Oh dear! It's another one of those days again today. Actually it started yesterday and is continuing this morning.
Callum has been doing a game programming course with Digipen over past few weeks and is really enjoying it. However, we did have a lot of problems uploading the software and a few teething probs, but we got it sorted and he's been really enjoying it. His homework for the past week has been to design his own game, adding sound, using the skills he's learnt so far.
Anyway, he did that. Knew once he's actually thought of one that wasn't going to use skills too far along in the course, it wouldn't take him long to do and it didn't. BUT when he came to run it, it wouldn't work! In fact nothing he'd done so far would work! Turns out that the Digipen software we've been using doesn't like Java updates and as we have have one over the past couple of weeks, it's buggered everything up. Grrrr!
Solution to this problem? Unload the version of Digipen we've been using and download a new version! Why? Can't you just sort it out your end? Obviously not! So after having a couple of problems with downloading (as we did originally) we've now managed to get the new version BUT we now have to reregister as it isn't recognising us because its new software! Grrrrrrrrrr! FFS! PLUS we can't update Java until we've finished the course just in case it mucks it up again. Solution? They are going to try and work away from Java completely. If it wasn't for the fact that Callum is really enjoying the course, I'd tell them to stuff it! Can't believe that a supposedly well established course has had so many problems with its software. I know that we are a trial group for home educators and that the course is normally run through colleges, but this is pretty ridiculous! Hey ho!
Then this morning, to cap it all, apart from waking up at 4.30am for the second day in a row, I couldn't connect to the internet as my stupid internet connection decided to have a funny and say it was there when it wasn't and then saying it wasn't there when it was! Had to shut everything down completely and restart twice before it decided to behave!
So basically I'm extremely aggrieved by technology at the moment! Grrrrr!
Off to make another cuppa!
