Some nights I just stare at the screen
and hope that I will find something to write about. I do not think
it's block per se it's just that I've not done anything to be
stimulated any kind of process that would result in a decent posting.
I believe a blog should be more than just a journal, and reporting of
what went on that day or whatever. I am recording.
The most significant thing, I believe
I've done this weekend, is getting the majority of my Christmas cards
more specifically I family's Christmas cards. I family is about the
only group that I send cards to any more. I would've had all the
cards stud today are not lost my Tablet. I had my latest family
address list on that tablet. Now I have to generate a new list of
family addresses. So besides making a hard copy of the list put in my
files I will also keep a list or copy of the list on “my drive”.
Hopefully, this will cut down the stress next holiday season.
I have become a cynical Christmas card
sender. There was a time when I took great pride in jotting down
notes of significance in each Christmas card I was sent. I secretly
detested getting cards from people with just their names scrawled
across the bottom. However, that is exactly what I do now. To my
brothers and sisters which I should detail the goings of my life, so
that they know that I'm doing okay. But I don't. I handwriting which
was pretty bad that even worse now. Yesterday when I started this
project I almost built into a trap of trying to figure out how to use
the computer to address the envelopes. I use the computer very well
with my date the letters. My computer addresses my envelopes just
fine which a chance, the long narrow legal type envelope. I wanted to
go to a envelope for the Christmas cards. I tried for about three
hours yesterday trying to get the envelope addressed and it seems
like I'm missing just one small step in the process. So, using one of
the lessons I learned this year, I dropped the whole project cold and
hand addressed the 10 envelopes.
Like I said these envelopes were not pretty but I believe they were
readable– – just barely. One of my challenges for this next year
is to learn how to reformat my printer to print these envelopes. This
really should be a simple task a clear example of computers making a
life easier and better right now however, that is not the case. I was
going to ask my son, Mark Anthony, when he came over this evening to
visit. We spent the evening working on my new tablet To link the
tablet with my Wi-Fi system here at the apartments or to link up with
my extremity that I purchased so that I could get out to the Internet
whenever I wanted since the apartments Wi-Fi is relatively worthless.
But of course, I forgot to ask if he knew how to recalibrate printing
on different sized envelopes.
The
second most significant thing I did this weekend was make green
Jell-O with cottage cheese and pineapple. A treat for the end of the
weekend which I think I will partake out now.
