Insomnia/Health Update
Looks life the insomnia might finally be relenting – out of last 16 days, I’ve been able to sleep on 14 š And most of the time on nights too like normal people š I still wake up too easily in the middle but I’ve been able to get back to sleep again when I do wake up. Weirdly enough, itĀ started relenting almost immediately after I made my last health update post here and mentioned the insomnia in it. Maybe it helped to say it out loud? Although I’ve been telling about it to a few family and friends in RL since the start so don’t know why telling about it on internet would help… but yeah, I’m cautionally optimistic about this š Maybe this problem won’t need seeing a doctor after all š
Computer Woes
Having problems with Windows 8 – it simply won’t load at all. Good thing I also routinely run Linux Mint, and I’m almost on there more than Windows these days. Photoshop and and like 2 other programs I need a few times a week I haven’t been able to replace with Linux ones, but even so I’m terribly tempted to ditch Windows for good this time. Apparently I could run those 3 Windows programs via a virtual machine in Linux – I’ve done this on the Windows side before, use a virtual machine and an OS on it, so it’s not totally new to me, but it’s been a while and never done it in Linux.
I’ve also been wanting to buy a bigger hard drive for my laptop for months now but for financial reasons haven’t been able to make it happen. I don’t think it’s failing, I think it’s just Windows, but I’m not sure and I’d like a bigger drive and the Linux partition is growing too small anyway. Propably make it a priority now, having to re-install operating systems, to get that new hard drive. Never bought a laptop hard drive before – have to study that, so I that I don’t get one that isn’t compatible with my laptop :/
Linux should continue working OK and I should be able to continue pretty much normal, but if I do disappear for a while, computer problems are the reason.
Health Update
Thought I’d do a health update – I don’t think I’ve done one since I got home from the hospital in February. Better get this down now, when still I remember everything what’s been going on since February…
New Sites + Deleting Two
I’ve created two new fansites: James Morrison Fan which is a fansite for the actor James Morrison, of “24” and Space: Above And Beyond fame, and Space: Above And Beyond Online which for the cult scif tv series. Both totally unofficial, of course.
I’ll propably be deleting The Originals SourceĀ before too soonĀ (haven’t gotten my enthusiasm for the show back) and Sasha Roiz World (think I’d rather just be a fan rather than a fansite owner in this case). So if either site has anything you want up now, download it ASAP!
