Still here

I have been slightly overdoing things for me, but still feeling like I’m running backwards.

My separated rib does mostly feel normal. It’s not ideal but healing and not too differently to how it was originally. I just need to make sure I don’t do what I did to my broken toe 6 weeks after- which is to rebreak it. There is still pain and I’m not entirely sure if it is contributing inflammation to the general area.

That cold? It got reintroduced to the home but hooray for immune memory! So aside from some itchy eyes and feeling a bit like there are germs everywhere (psychological reaction, though true) it’s not been a double whammy.

I am revisiting being vegetarian again. I have  noticed some side effects that double down on side effects of medication so I’m trying to avoid that. But I think I ‘ll keep seafood as it’s know to protect against a lot of issues I’m concerned about.

Fatigue has just hit again in the last few hours, in part due to the noise of digging up the road for fibre (not our street- the main street we are on and the main street parallel to us.) And regular drop out of our wifi (probably related.) I was trying to back track images and it was just so much extra work. And it’s a big project. So I now feel even more overwhelmed by it!

catching up

So yes, a bit of a quiet patch then FLURRY of posts 🙂

But it is very reflective of life right now. I’m having the first bout of stable energy in a long time. I am though in the midst of my second cold of the season (the first was a new strain so was very not fun, this one must be related to it or another one my immune system remembers as it’s just like being tired and nasally- though my voice was in good nick and I’ve been singing early music again!)

So right now I need to get older projects out as they are weighing on me heavily. Luckily at least two are going to be a boon for my workshops (fixing the black and white sheer dress, and making over the Phantom wedding dress:

 

So close to accurate materials vs gone overboard with the opal organza and lace.

I have beads and lace galore to add to that one 🙂 So speaking of my workshops…

What I will have on display  I’ve just put up on my Facebook Page

 

So back to the fixing of the backlog while I have had a few days straight of being awake 🙂

Carlo favours boxes.

 

But he also wants to be part of everything.

The Fluff has tried to stay in pretty much every room but Carlo does not like him. So we have sort of got him to stay in my room. Though I catch Carlo in there every so often!

new ssd is great but

I was trying to boot from my back up ssd in the first place.

 

That said, this one boots even from a forced shutdown (haven’t tried cutting power as per a power cut) so it seems to be a good solid drive for the OS. My old ssd is five years old, and while I probably have a few more years of write cycles I did need to get a new one.

I do however have a ridiculous numbver of drivers for my USB ports- I mean i know there are 8, two of which are triple ports (? in bios I see port 3_1, 3_2 etc.)

But yay! Allll my files are safe, so once I get those drivers over here I can start tidying the old SSD.

Only downside- my drivers for my USB 3 ports are a bit munted. SO I need to have a look at what is different in each system and see if I can get them working.

So the chipset for the controller is one manufacturer, the builder of the rest of the component is another. The chipset maker only has drives up to win 7, the rest of the component up to win 8 for the other controller, and win 7 for the former.)

So by updating win 8 to win 10 I seem to have been lucky the first time in how my drivers where handled. This fresh install did not.

So. It’s okay now that I can make hot ports and get my harddrives out quickly (my tower is not acccessible friendly!)

 

But YAYYYYYYY!!! TO THE SWTOR!!!!!!
