My Comfort Zone

After having to deal with  PC problem for months, our dilemma has finally ended. The technician from the computer store where we got the PC finally got the time to come and repair it. We’ve had the PC for five years and it was really getting slow, most likely because of because of the many programs and files stored in it for our family business.

The technician reprogrammed the PC and it works as good as new now. It loads faster that it used to even with the new scanner software that he installed. Before, I had to wait for about ten minutes before I could start using the PC. That’s how slow it was loading the programs. But now, it is already good to go in just a matter of two minutes. Great!

Have you been in a situation where you couldn’t think of anything else to do because you feel like you’ve done it all? That was the situation I was in yesterday. I’ve seen all the DVDs we rented; I’ve read all the books my fiancé sent me; I’ve read all the magazines I bought; and though I can watch TV if I want to, the shows are just not to my liking. But, I could go play the playstation 3 but I’m simply not in the mood for a game, or I could sing in the videoke but I don’t want to wake the neighbors. LOL.

Well, I just seem to be in a total state of I-don’t-know-what-to-do. There are even more things that I could do but choose not to do, so why bother even thinking about it?  I’ll just chose to continue being bored and wonder why I’m bored. (“,)

Mom’s health has not been stable lately and she sees her doctor almost every week now. She always complains of dizziness, headaches and stomach upsets and her blood pressure has not been stable either. I’m glad we have a wristech blood pressure monitor to help keep a check on her blood pressure.

Just this morning, she complained of a headache again. Her blood pressure was normal when she checked it so I just told her to take a rest. Maybe she’s just over fatigued because she’s the type who can’t stay still. Much to my surprise, she followed my advice to rest because she can be stubborn at times. Shouldn’t it be that moms are the ones supposed to be giving the orders? Looks like it’s the other way around now, huh? Go figure that!

It’s hot, though gloomy, and even gloomier because of the power outage due to the rotating brownouts in my area. What a day! I’m glad we have our ipods to keep us (my son and I) company. At least we can enjoy listening to music and forget what we’re going through at the moment. Listening to music is a good relaxing pastime, and it can help you forget your troubles and help you pass the time while singing along with the music, and before we know it, maybe our power will be back on. Or maybe we’ll just doze off and take a nap and wake up to lights. Whatever! I’m just enjoying the music I’ve downloaded.

And thankfully, this laptop of mine is fully charged so I can blab here while listening to my ipod. But still, I can feel the heat because we have no fans or air conditioning. Oh well, can’t do anything about it.

Today’s household chores really wore me out. The house was in total chaos after loading all of the materials for Dad’s out of town project last night. There were about thirty workers who loaded the materials into the two 10-wheeler trucks. What caused most of the mess all around the house were the eight hundred bags of cement. There was so much grey dust blown around by the wind that entered the house. I had to swipe everything, from the furniture to the ornaments, etc. The floor was filthy, too; you could see footprints where everyone walked through, so I had to scrub and mop it. And to top it off, I even had to change the curtains. Whew!

I always have one of my MP3 players with me while doing the chores because listening to music perks me up and gets me going, helping me get the job done without feeling so tired. Today was different, however: I’m absolutely exhausted. But I’m done with the chores and I get to spend the rest of the day resting. So, see ya, bye ya, for now!
