I periodically lament my inability to keep up to date with the online world. Being housebound much of the time the net is my main access to a social life, but I've spread myself too thin...
I used to be incredibly organised and disciplined but now because my body and brain are so unreliable I feel like I've morphed into this flakey female who can't be relied upon.
Some days my brain can only string sensible comments together for a limited time,
sometimes my fingers will type what I want them to, others they refuse to and typing anything takes AGES, (they're doing that now) and if the brain refuses to remember how to spell at the same time as the fingers won't type, well, I just give up.
Other times my hands are much too sore to type...or my eyes are...or my lap is etc etc
It must seem implausible to people when I say my time online is limited, after all I'm housebound so much - why would it be? I hope that this explains why - it's a physical and mental problem rather than a time problem.
The iPhone 4S has arrived so I'll spend some time practising with the voice controls - (although that will only help when fibro brain is being cooperative.)
In order to try to catch up and decide where and how I use any time I have and so that I can get into a creative head space again, I'm going to go 'off line' for a while. Try and get myself to accept that this is who I am now and how to organise myself in such a way that I can stay relaxed about it all.
I know it's my problem, whenever I apologise folks tell me not to worry and I think the root of my worry is the contrast to what my life is like now compared to what it was.
I'm going to try to catch up with replies but that's all I'll do online. No commenting or looking at pretty pictures or following links...Wonder if it's possible for me to go cold turkey?!
Au revoir lovely peeps.
