The Weekend Was Not Fun

18/2/2020

Good morning, Readers!
Picture
A futuristic dock. I quite like this image. Found it on wallpapersafari.com.
I'm so sorry there was no post yesterday.  It was Family Day, which here in Canada means a holiday for those of us not working in the government.  I was at home.  I did intend, though, to be us and writing a post, but as it turns out, I was struck by a fearsome migraine Sunday that persisted all the way through to Monday evening.

Like, full-blown, hiding in the dark, wincing at every sound, gripping my skull kind of migraine.

So I got nothing done.  Except laundry, and that was only late Monday night when things started to calm down again.

I meant to clean the kitchen.  I mean to vacuum the living room.  I was going to finally tackle the clouds in the painting I started months ago and then gave up on because I was frustrated with it all.  I really need to get that painting done.

None of it got done.  I was in agony.

Glad it's passing.

I also wanted to spend some time writing yesterday, but in addition to the migraine, all of my files are on my work PC, and I couldn't write even if I was able to look at a computer screen.

So, I'm in the market for a laptop.  I'm not after anything fancy at all.  I just need it for writing.  I need Word, since that's the easiest thing for me, and literally the only tool I use to write (when it's not blog posts).  I just need this laptop for writing.  That's it.  It doesn't have to be fancy.  I'll save up for a dedicated drawing tablet when I'm ready for it.  My laptop will just be for writing.  It needs to have Word, or a version of word that permits me to write while offline.  That's it.

So, if you know of some laptops that will serve the purpose well, let me know.  I'm researching it all right now.

Writing is going pretty well, all told. The New Project is fun, and because I have no intention of trying to sell it, the lack of pressure is making it an easy write.  I will be continuing with that today.  I might even write a few words in Avalon Book 2, as I think I have the next step or two in the story figured out.  I might aim for 500 words  or so there.  A thousand on The New Project.

Those are the goals, anyway.  I might not get there, but I'll try.

Right, I have to go now and attempt these things.

​Ciao!
