But I still live, even if my online life is dead.
I have made a true profession out of translating. It funny, I took this web design course wishing to make a living from it, but in the meantime I had to survive somehow, so I translated. At first I didn't make much, it seemed something temporary, but all of a sudden, translation companies discovered my value, and now I'm so flooded with work I hardly have time for anything else. I enjoy it, too. I get diverse materials to translate, and so I continuously enrich my knowledge about many subjects.
My son Tommer is developing in his own rate, some things are extremely hard for him to acquire, and other a peace of cake. He speaks in short sentences, with many phonetic errors and many times repetitive, but that is to be expected given his dyspraxia. In fact, the fact that he can speak at all is a miracle. He is a little computer genious, understands how to work the mouse and icons, opening and closing video files and games, which is something even ordinary children his age don't always know yet how to activate. Today he discovered the "shutdown" button...
I find myself almost unable to interact online. I watch my facebook page once every several days or so, mainly to keep an eye on my daughter's activity, but I publish almost nothing there, where members of my family can find me, or basically anyone I know in person can. I feel too exposed there, that's why I don't friend many people, it turns me even more quiet.
I write here basically for myself, as it used to be a sort of diary.
