Downloading stalled
My brain is overloaded at the moment. There's too much stuff I *want* to write but I don't feel I have the time to do it. Or, like what happened on Saturday, the internet went out (after having been fine for a while), and I should probably get off the computer anyway, so if I haven't started typing something up, I don't start it at all. However, when that happens, it's like my internal memory card is full, and I need to download information in order to take more in. I'm not downloading enough at the moment, so I'm either not remembering things I feel I should, or things are coming back to me after the moment has passed. It's kind of frustrating, actually. It was so bad that the week of the 4th, I neglected to take notes almost the entire time. Perhaps I've mentioned that there was this abandoned steno book at work that I absconded with, and it's been very helpful for jotting down notes I find important when I'm away from a computer. It's so easy to refer back to it as I do write things up. But I have to be home, and I have to be in the mood for writing, and while I certainly can type stuff up to post later, sometimes I just want to get it posted and be done with it. Plus, there's my whole posting-as-many-days-as-possible thing. It irks me that I was unable to post anything at the end of last week, because it's not like I slacked; it's that I couldn't get and stay online. That's happened way too often recently, but so far, so good tonight. *knock on wood* Dad did check the connections to everything and that seems to have helped. He also wondered if the weather has played into things, since once we hit July, we hit the heat. To wit, tomorrow, at the mid- to upper 80s, is scheduled to be the cool day this week. (!) Anyway, this is more of a vent post than anything of use, but I am hoping my lack of plans for the weekend will translate into downloading as much out of my brain as possible. There's a lot in there. Band last week was a doozy, for instance. But it will have to wait.
