Life hurtles along at its usual rip-roaring pace! {g}
The weeks since Christmas have been filled with college interviews and review meetings and follow-up emailing. And with church meetings and preparations for leading worship and developing the music team there. And negotiating with the town's churches about a Mission coming up at Easter and Life-Songs' role in that. And preparing for the next two Life-Songs concerts coming up next weekend and all the rehearsals and planning for those.
And all the usual home-educating mum stuff. As if that wasn't enough on its own. LOL!
In amongst all that I've been doing some major decluttering/ shelf clearing/giving way/selling/re-organising. I now *almost* have a usable office area in the dining room! From having one old, clunky computer a year ago, we now have one brand new laptop, and two re-fitted (re-conditioned? Improved?) older ones. It helps that Jamie works with techies who are willing and able to help out. None of them would know how to repair a car or fix a leaky tap, but they are all great with updating your computers! {g}
We now have two with internet access in the dining room, so Jack and I do not have to wait turns to use it! Yay! This is wonderful! And Grace uses the other one, upstairs on the landing, for her games and the marathon story she's been writing for months. (We have a rule about all computers/tv's being in public spaces.) All that needs to happen now is that I actually figure out how to use the things properly. {g}
Having all the 'office' equipment working properly again will be a big help. Now I just need a dishwasher and an automatic kitchen-floor washer and I'd be well away!
Jamie and the kids are out at a rehearsal and it's Jamie's birthday tomorrow so I have some wrapping to do and a meal to prepare. I found some South Indian food in MK Walmart/ASDA so he will be happy!

Sounds like you are busy ... which is typical but still tiring
Yeah on the multiple computers! We were gifted a desktop from a friend and hubby has a laptop (which I had been using). It makes it SO much nicer to have multiple computers. ;-) It certainly sounds like you are busy. I'll be praying you all stay well for your upcoming concerts. Any chance of getting a video of one?? I'd love to be able to see!
Happy birthday, Jamie!
Ha Renee! Who knew?
Thanks, Gigi. We're leading worship this morning so have to leave the house at 8.ooam. Poor guy doesn't even get a lie in on his birthday! But we are all going out for lunch afterwards, so that's a treat.
Glad to here that your computer situation is resolved and even better now! Hope Jamie has/had a lovely birthday.
YEA for more computers! Setting up a wireless network was the best thing we've done around here in regard to tech stuff. I'm not sure how we lived without it for so long.
Nice to have the change in computers. As your "children" are now grown, it is hard when 3-4 adults are juggling one computer! How the internet has changed life!
