laura_seabrook | System Restored (more or less)

It's been a hectic, tiring and frustrating week. I felt sick and exhausted yesterday, and have stayed home today to avoid collapsing.

Still in the process of restoring applications and settings on my study PC. I had to install both service packs 2 and 3 for XP before certain strange behaviours disappeared. Thunderbird resisted strongly but is more or less under control. Paint Shop Pro X2 installed fine but was buggy until the service packs were installed. Gah - I have four pages of web comics that I drew on Monday sitting on my Desk. I can't upload them without scanning them in, which means that the printer drivers come next. It's a long process but hopefully I won't need to do it too often.

I had to prepare stuff for the You Are Here Now exhibition at the Auchmuty library. I'm pleased to be included, but it meant running around in a hurry on Wednesday and completing things using a PC in the library itself. Felt exhausted and frustrated on Wednesday, especially as someone who'd got out of their sickbed was logged on next to me, and continually coughing!

Yesterday I had to run a couple of errands but mostly went shopping at Kotara. I was however feeling sick as well, and it was a long hard process, even if I did get things I needed. Last night I fell asleep watching TV, and when I got home, the dogs actually ran into Kevin's room (I must have seemed bad)!

Today I've been alternating watching TV and sorting things out on the PC (at least now I can see the text I'm typing in SeMagic). Nothing strenuous and soon I'm going to feed the pets and take the dogs for walk. Maybe tonight I'll get those web pages done. This is Not Art is on in a couple of weeks and because of all the chaos I haven't done any more pages of Hypergraphia. I think that'll be this weekend. :)
