So, I started following this manga/anime called Ouran Host Club over the summer. I got pretty hooked on it because it's goofy and just a lot of fun with whacky, over-the-top characters that you could still kind of relate to. I like to write fanfic and came up with this idea for a future fic, but I f...
This site is called A Year Ago Today, so I thought I'd look back in my journal and see what I wrote this time last year. A Year Ago Today was Labor Day 2020. Ah, 2020... the year that just kept on giving. This time last year, we had a bunch of wildfire smoke blow in, and it hung in the area for wee...
My keyboard has been broken for a while now. It was a known problem with the laptop I bought, and Dell did nothing about it. It started with the right shift key in December 2019. Then the home/end keys and some random buttons on the number pad. By September 2020, the W, S, and X only worked intermit...
There's a definite cycle in good and bad days for me. I managed to stay awake and be productive most of yesterday. I worked on a writing project in the morning, answered questions in a forum I moderate, made a journal entry here, and worked on a crochet project that's been gathering dust for weeks. ...
It's been a while since I made an entry. Nearly a year. Honestly, it's mostly because the keyboard on my laptop is broken. The W, S, and X keys don't work, so every time I need one of those letters, I have to use the mouse to press them on the onscreen keyboard. For someone that used to type 75+WPM,...
I haven't really been able to keep up with my illness journal lately because of these keyboard issues. The only way to get the keys working is to heat the laptop up. I've been able to do that somewhat by blocking the vents in the back while I type somewhere else, but it's taking over an hour sometim...
Yesterday was going pretty good. After some caffeine, I felt okay and more alert than I have in awhile. I had hoped the treatment was working. I managed to get my keys working early to get an illness journal written. Then i had to order some bras for one of my daughters (after all of hers were eaten...
Well, I'm up before 10am today and feeling okayish? I'm having a hard time telling what is and isn't working with all of the new meds and treatments. For a while, I was naturally getting up at 6am, and I kind of miss that. I could get a lot done in the morning while sitting quietly in my room. And ...
It's been awhile since I made an entry, mostly because of keyboard issues. To get all of my keys working, I have to do something (like type) enough to heat up the laptop. Then the keys start to work. Usually by the time I get the laptop warm enough, I'm fed up and/or bored and don't want to write an...
Happy Thanksgiving to those in the US that are celebrating. Today was pretty much like every Thanksgiving for us other than my brother and his fiancée didn't come over because if COVID and my grandson was at his dad's house (he was with us last year). That means I still made a huge dinner because t...
I think I figured out my keyboard issues. The only time my keys actually work (at least the main ones I need: 2, w, s and x) is when the keyboard gets warm. The reason they would start working after I payed Sims was because it heated the whole laptop up because it's a game running at full spec. Of c...
I can't wait for this medical device supplier to finally get back to us because this sleep apnea and everything going along with it is killing me. I have one good day where I might get one or two things done and don't spend the entire day in a fog, but it's followed by at least one day where I barel...
