Stopping is easy.

I did not mean to take a month long hiatus from this blog, I swear.

I did not mean to take a month long Rosie-O'Donnell hiatus from the computer...but apparently

I did.

I took my computer into the shop where it stayed for weeks and weeks upon end...and the thing was, after I got over not being able to watch Judge Judy on Youtube whenever I wanted, I started to enjoy this not having a computer thing. And actually started reading before bedtime, and listening to the radio, and sleeping more soundly.

But now I'm back...I'm hurtling myself into my blog once again, to see how far I've come.

I guess what I had been struggling with before my computer went kaput was putting up fabric covered corkboards from which to hang my jewellery. It took forever, I tried double-sided tape, silicone (not my idea...the Zood's) and the boards just slipped down the wall leaving a thick and sticky trail of silicone in its wake. Finally I relented and got some gorilla glue like stuff, and now they're sitting pretty. Need some nicer tacks, though.

Things are coming together, but there are difficulties to work through.

Actually the only difficulty I'm dealing with right now stems from work. Yes, the salary kinda sucks, but it's not the lack of money I resent as much as the time...time spent commuting. And then by the time I get back home it's nearly 7:00 and I have energy to eat my crackers and dip

(oh and by the way, Smoked salmon pate, you have no greater fan than Ms. Peepee Faye Boxill.)

sip my reduced calorie iced tea (could there by a trashier drink? Maybe RC cola) listen to As It Happens and it's pretty much time for bed. I wish I could be one of those who stayed up until 11:00 doing things but my tear ducts pretty much run dry by 8:30.

I need to get out of Mississauga, I know that...I just didn't know it would be so hard. Still, I persevere, I must keep persevering. So, I leave you with a picture of my fabric bulleting boards which gave me so much trouble. Few things in this life come easy to me. In the past, I found conjugating French verbs easy, and making frittatas, but the rest has all been an uphill battle.
