A NEW COMPUTER!

24 Friday Nov 2017

This morning I paid off the lay-a-way I had on a new computer and I’ve just completed setting it up! The computer is a HP All-in-One with a 19.5″ screen. It is the first desktop computer that I’ve ever owned and I am really liking it. The massive size difference between the small laptops that I was using and the new computer aren’t easy to adjust to – but I’ll manage.

all in oneI immediately downloaded three free open-source software programs for the computer so that I can start doing what I’ve been wanting to do for quite some time. I have OpenOffice, Audacity and OpenShot so that I can start writing, putting together and podcast and editing videos for YouTube.

I am very excited about all of this. I just believe now that I need a larger desk which is a problem for another day!

So stay tuned – big things are coming!

An Update

Since October 8, I have had only two days off. I will have Thanksgiving and Friday off  from work, but then my next day off won’t be until Christmas. This is what my busy season at work looks like. I’ll work nearly 30 days in a row with out a day off. This type of work schedule is quite draining. Due to this I have a difficult time finding time to read – and when I do read, I just generally lack the energy to write up a review for the books.

Long story short – my blog will be a bit slow in regards to posts during the busy season at my work. Since October 8, I’ve only managed to read a book and a half – but this isn’t due to a lack of interest in reading as it is a lack of energy to read. My body tends to opt for sleep.

But my busy work schedule isn’t the only reason that posts are a lacking. My health has also tanked over the past several weeks. This is due to multiple reasons, but primarily because I’ve been under an extraordinary amount of stress. I have been feeling considerably better over the past several days which is great, but for a short while I was wondering if I should take myself to the ER.

More reviews will appear on this blog soon. I haven’t given up on my blog, life however is pulling me in a multitude of directions.

In other news I’m going to be getting myself a nice computer that offers me more opportunities than what I currently use (which is a Samsung Chromebook). My new computer will be a desktop all-in-one computer with a touch screen. Today I went out and got myself an ergonomic keyboard with the hope that it will help facilitate more writing.

We’ll see I suppose.

You must try to forget all you have learned,’ said the old man. ‘You must begin to dream. From this time on you must shut your ears to the roaring of the voices.
