Erm, Hello Everybody; It's Me Again

[poliphilo]

So- metaphorically speaking- I went  as far as the street corner, hung around till it got chilly and then came home. There are, I believe, marriages in which this kind of thing happens all the time.

I hope I've been away long enough not to seem a complete fool.

Besides,  I proved to myself I can get by without having the computer on all the time- and that's good.  For the best part of a week, I switched it on for an hour in the morning and an hour at night- and all the rest of the day I did housework, tidied the attic, cooked plum crumble, socialized, read books, watched Ghost Whisperer- and did crossword puzzles.  It was a return to basics. I enjoyed it.

But crossword puzzles or LJ- which is the better use of my time?  No-brainer, that one.  Besides I was lying in bed, composing LJ posts in my head, and it seemed pretty silly not to be writing them down.

I'd had got things out of balance. Hopefully I'm now back on an even keel.

I'm glad that you decided that it didn't have to be all or nothing. :)

But I know what you mean about things getting out of balance. It is so easy for me to spend all day on the computer doing nothing in particular that I have made a new resolution that unless I'm marking a batch of assignments, the computer doesn't go on before lunchtime. And even if I do have to put it on earlier to do my job, the Internet stays off!

I've made a resolution too. The computer goes on in the morning for an hour or two and again in the evening, but I don't touch it in between.
