Sew and Sew

11/30/11
I keep saying, all I really want to do is SEW, but I don't feel like I can take a day and just do that when I have so many other things I have to do. Like get my mother (Alzheimer's) moved into a new care home against her wishes, dispose of her excess belongings and furniture and clean her old apartment, clean my room and put away the summer clothes, learn how to use my new laptop, so I can download the new quilt designing software I got for my birthday (in October!),  put the kitchen back together and clean it after having a new counter top sprayed on. And then of course there is work. I don't mind the job but it sure keeps me from having as much time as I want to SEW.  Waaaa Waa Waa

My hard drive is full! Why do I keep eating more and more??

I keep saying that I'm on tech overload and I don't think I can really learn any more new things. But I've got a digital camera and download lots of pictures and fiddle with some of them in Photoshop, putting hair on bald friends and erasing ex'es from the background. But if that gets any fancier, I'll have to draw the line. Then there is my new android phone... I'm sure there are 10,000 more things I could do with it, but I think I'm doing real good by texting using swype, dictating my grocery list, surfing the web, downloading YouTube videos. But this is the highest tech phone I ever want. I still need to learn how to edit the videos I take on it and burn them to a DVD.
I think I'm kind of old for all this. I'm hoping it will protect me from getting the Old Timer's disease that runs in my family!
