*Drum roll*  Please form an orderly queue – lol!
My new blog is all set up.  It’s called Somebody Once, and there’s an explanation in my first post there of why I chose that name.  The URL is http://somebodyonce.com/blog/  & I’m looking forward to getting it all sorted out the way I want it over the next few days.  For now I’m off to watch some tv in bed and rest for a while.  hopefully I’ll manage to do some more blog tweaking later.  Oh, and incidentally, I haven’t finished updating my blogroll yet, so if you’re not on it you will be soon!  TTFN!

My new domain and blog are set up, and I’ll be spending some time sorting my blog out this evening.  I need to find out if I can move my posts over, and also want to do a bit of tweaking.  Hopefully it will be up and running very soon, and I will post the URL here then. In other news I’m tired and pretty achey.  Still OCD-ing like mad, but excited about my new webspace.

I must have spent hours trying to come up with a domain name I liked and guess what?  I ended up using the one I thought of first!  I’ll keep it a secret until the new blog is ready, and then I’ll explain it to you.  I’m so excited – I’m getting my own webspace again!!!  Anyway, must be off, Mum will be here soon and I need to eat something before I go out.  TTFN!

I slept ok, but restlessly, and my back is pretty sore this morning. Apart from that I’m still feeling much the same. I’m still trying to think of a domain name so that I can get my new webspace set up as soon as possible. Mum is coming down after lunch and will help me put the Christmas decorations and some other bits away to give me more space in the bottom of my wardrobe. They need to go in the top of the wardrobe, and with balance like mine you don’t stand on things! After that we’re going to the supermarket, and then I’ll have a quiet evening. So that’s my day sorted.

I still have my feet on the ground, I just wear better shoes.

I enjoyed the ‘Miss Marple’, but I didn’t find it as interesting as the others I’ve seen. Nice Thirties & Fifties clothes and stuff though. I love Thirties & Fifties style – my two favourite decades design-wise. Ideally I’d have a Fifties themed kitchen, and an Art Deco room somewhere, but as Mum says, I need a four-bedroomed house to put all my ideas into practice. There isn’t much scope here. Mind you, since the flat is so small it’s dead handy if I have to rush to the loo! Too much information, I know!
I’m still struggling with that domain name. I’m torn between something ‘clever’, which will probably irritate me after a while, or something boring that will suit whatever I put on the webspace. Boring is probably best, but everything I come up with seems to be taken. Maybe I’ll think of something in the morning. I think my brain is going to sleep now – possibly because I’ve just taken 150mg of amitryptiline!
I’ve been thinking about my plans for the new webspace and I think I’m going to work on finding out as much as I can about the health problems I have and compile all the links and information in a website, including a little bit about my own problems over the last few years. Then there’s my blog, and I’m tempted to do some sort of personal website too. Plus I get a photo log, so that would be a great incentive to start taking photos again.
To be honest, one of the reasons I’m going to get my own webspace again is to give me something to occupy my mind and hopefully drown out the intrusive thoughts. I like fiddling with the techie stuff too, as long as it’s not too techie! I understand computer stuff (well webpages and that) much better than televisions and videos. I still can’t get the subtitles up on the tv I swapped with my Dad. I find it very difficult to hear it properly unless I’m here on my own.
Anyhow, I’m off to bed now. I’m tempted to make myself some toast to counteract all the veggies I’ve eaten today, but I don’t know if I can be bothered. Maybe I’ll just have some for breakfast instead. It’s nice not to have to set two alarms tomorrow. Once I’ve taken my morning meds I can go back to sleep. Lovely!

I’ve put my profile up on a few free personals sites. My write up was very easy-going, saying that although I would like to meet someone eventually for a long-term relationship, for now I am just looking for friendship, maybe leading to romance. This is a reply I got this evening. I’m not sure whether we’re talking green card, or whatever the UK equivalent is, or if he’s just trying to set up an online thing.  He also sent me his email addresses, messenger user names, and phone numbers.

Listen sweetheart, we not had a proper chat, I be on messenger round 9.30pm on wards, I got a webcam.
I want to ask, will you be my girlfriend, I am still married, waiting for my divorce, when I get full divorced, you can become my wife, we can live together and in the future and spend the rest of our life together, having cruises and nice holidays, I am planning to go some cruises and I want a woman who will love me and wants to be with me to enjoy life, being happy.
When I am divorced, would you become my wife, if you say yes, then we can be together, as item, I do mess about and have jokes, I act like a child, but least I have fun, I don’t mean any harm.
So will you become my wife, when I get divorced, in can be ages but I need to ask if you would.
Chat later.

I like animals but I’ve never been very keen on anything smaller than a rabbit, although I guinea pigs are growing on me after seeing the Egg adverts. Anyway, I bought myself a new calendar with cute animals on it. A nice little cat for January – lovely. When I turned over to February I had a shock. It’s a hamster! Not only that, but it’s a big calendar and it’s a one foot tall hamster!! I don’t know if I’ll be able to stick it out until March! Next time I’ll check all the pictures before I buy a calendar!
I’m feeling a bit wisht, as we say down here. Mentally things haven’t been great for the last week or so, and I’m also quite achey, & very tired physically, which is a pain as I want to mess about online and I’m too knackered to sit here for long. I’ll probably toddle off and watch the new Agatha Christie ‘Miss Marple’ in a bit, and maybe I’ll get back online later. I’m planning a lie-in tomorrow morning so it won’t matter too much if I’m late to bed.
I’ve decided on my blog host (thanks for the suggestions), and am still trying to come up with a domain name. I just used one of those name spinners and typed in ‘cat’ and ‘chaos’. Two of it’s suggestions were ‘catboweldisorder’ & felineskindisorder’! How nice! Maybe I’ll suddenly be inspired by watching ‘Miss Marple’! I’m frustrated because the domain name is all I need to get everything up and running, but I don’t want to rush and choose something I’ll get fed up with.

I’ve spent the afternoon slaving over a hot computer – lol!  I’ve decided to go with my last blog host Living Dot, as they are virtually the only one I’ve found which doesn’t penalise you if you pay monthly.  I prefer to do that because if I suddenly go through a bad patch and want to remove my web presence I don’t lose money on it.  Fortunately AOL have decided to give me a big reduction in my dial-up rate which means I can afford paid hosting.  I’m currently trying to come up with a domain name I like which isn’t already taken, which is easier said than done.
I enjoyed my shopping this morning and got a couple of bargains.  A pair of Winnie the Pooh trainer liner socks for £1, and a container with a cracked lid which I’m using as a pen pot on my desk, and that was also £1.  Apart from that I just bought a few groceries.  I didn’t stay out all that long.  I’m quite tired physically and my balance is crap and I was also getting some foot drop this morning.  Anyhow, Son 1 will be here soon so I need to vacate the computer chair!

There’s no need for me to complain about the scaffolding blocking out the sunshine from the flat, because there isn’t any sunshine!  I’m not complaining too much because at least it’s dry.  I’m just getting some laundry done and then I’m off for my retail therapy session.  I’m still trying to decide on a blog host so when I get back I’ll be surfing around some more possibles.  Son 1 will be down around teatime and Mum will collect him after church.
There’s a new Miss Marple on this evening, so I’ll definitely watch and/or record that.  I already have a Morse, a Marple & a Lewis stacked up in my bedroom that I haven’t got around to watching yet.  I’m very ashamed to say that I haven’t read a book for the year yet, which is very unlike me.  I think it’s a combination of feeling low and finding it difficult to concentrate, and the fact that my vision isn’t as good as it could be.  Well, time to sort some laundry, then head for the shops.  TTFN!
