Catching up

Good grief, I really wasn't here for almost 5 days? Where has the time gone? So much about being more consequent with my journal. Ah, well.

It was a busy week. I had to take mum to the optician (sp? - I mean the eye doctor), and since I was already there, I got my eyes checked as well. Apparently, they are all right fo an old hag of my age, which is a relief. I spend entirely too much time before the telly and the computer screen. And reading and writing. Even stitching at times.

Well, the telly problem is solved for a time - my satellite receiver died, and since it's linked with the DVD player somehow, I can't watch DVDs, either. Tried to switch the plugs and stuff, but I'm technically chalenged. Friendly Guy from the repair shop promised to come... eventually. We'll see.

So I put the time to good use and wrote down the synapsis to my TNG stories I plan to write. Also, since I German TV is re-running Babylon 5, I felt inspired to pick up "Kansasn 2" again, the B5-Voyage x-over that has been lying on ice for the last five years or so. No writing actually done yet, but a great deal of research, which is fun.

Among other things, I re-read all 16 chapters of "A Minbari Courtship", which is an excellent story.

Perhaps tomorrow I'll write a little, too.

School starts on Monday again, although without kids for a week. Sigh. I don't feel up to the challenge at all. Getting old and stuff.

Sounds like you are getting a lot done! Good luck getting the tv fixed.

Sorry to hear about your satellite receiver - I would certainly go through withdrawals if it were me. Hopefully you can get your DVD player working independently from your receiver soon.
