Well then.
Metroplex died on me this morning. Looks like a board failure. He's nearly fixed, but that was a pain.
Oh, and I need to take a medication break. Anti-psychotic butt trouble again. I'm seriously mild on the Schitz anyway, so I doubt it'll be a problem.
Logged for the record and that.
Update:
And into the night...
Well, it's all working again. I'm just doing a filesync to make sure my backups are good, but so far it's all funky. I'll test the board next week to see what happened to it. I had to sort out Sideswipe as well. Ubuntu's network drive support is glitchy as hell, so I went back to Win 7. It's, once again, fine and life may continue. But that is 2 computers stripped down and rebuilt in 1 day. Hard work.
At least I can keep work going though, and I do like my work. That's the thing really. Much as Perceptions is quite tough at the minute ( being the Chair of a 600 readers registered charity ), and certain peeps have been a right pain for ages, it is also rewarding. So keeping the office at home ticking over is a big deal for me. I need it really.
Thankfully I'm pretty good at fixing stuff, so when it does go wrong it's just a case of giving it a once over and getting the part. Money is still tight for this though, so I do try to be careful.
I'm not sure what to put down here really. Life is just ticking over for me. I get to get out a bit more now ( which helps ), and the doc has confirmed my Schitz is mild ( what I believed ) so... Just the Fibro really. I do love my Memory Foam Mattress Topper as well. Dear gods my bed is comfy now. Which is great for me, what with the need to rest.
I do still feel lonely though. I need a decent woman in my life. It's been over a decade, and I still have zero confidence of pulling in Croydon of all places, but even so. I still would not complain if a hot bit of stuff jumped on me. I guess no-one wants to be alone forever. Much as taking a break to sort out my anger at so many years of rejection was a good idea ( no-one wants you when you are ill and/ or poor was my conclusion ) I still have hope someone cute will see past the crutch and note the hawt bit of stuff that I am. I just wish they'd hurry up about it.
Yeah, I could do with a nice bit of crumpet. But, sadly, I'm a specialist taste for many ( where my life has been so weird ) so it's not easy. They don't grow on trees. And so many are so young these days that I do have to tread carefully. Dating kids can be a real headache. They want to go out, I need to rest etc etc.
Still, I seem to be bouncing back after the years of rejection I've had to endure, and that is a good thing.
I also repaired my old neck-tie broach. That I use for holding lace scarves in place to make poncy goth ties to wear with a dress shirt. I'm getting that old get-up back up and running, as I did enjoy it. So that's some good news. I had to buy 50 pins to get the one I needed ( and then she sent me another 100 the next size up for some bizarre reason ), so I have plenty of spares should it need a repair again. I have no idea what I'm gonna do with those extra 100. They're pretty big...
