Another Saturday…

Well, here I am, faffing again when I should be working. Woke up this morning from a fairly miserable night of nasty dreams of being choked and smothered; my sinuses were burning and blocked, so I’ve got a cold, obviously. And the blocked nasal passages led to the dreams.
My blood-pressure medication gives me vivid dreams anyway – some pleasant, some not so pleasant. But at least my nights aren’t boring.
Been having tremendous computer problems this last couple of weeks. First, my motherboard went so that I’m now having to borrow B’s machine all the time; then my internet connection started dropping every couple of minutes. I’ve tweaked, and uninstalled and troubleshooted for days – finally got things to the point where the connection drops only every ten minutes or so. So I can at least read and reply to my emails.
I’ve no idea when I can get a computer of my own – a certain person had promised to pay me a large sum of money last week. But it’s not materialised and now she’s suddenly dropped the subject of payment. I know she’s short of cash, so I’m not nagging her for it, but I do wish she hadn’t promised it; I was really looking forward to getting an upgraded machine, with onboard sound and video.

Oh well. This cold is making me feel tired and disinclined to work. So I think I’ll leave it for today. the TV tonight looks very inviting, for a change. There’s Dr Who at 7pm, followed straightaway by the whole of the first Lord of the Rings film. I’m intending to enjoy pigging out in front of the box tonight.

PS: There’s some really good stuff on that Dr Who website – but you have to look for it!
