I'm just tech savvy enough.. . .

OK, Crafting and reading first, then I'll get to the reason for the title.

Well, I've been crafting just enough so I feel not quite lazy (the back isn't helping, but I'm working with it.). I've been a busier reader than I thought I was. I checked on my "read" book list on Goodreads, and found that my record keeping wasn't as good as I thought it was. I fixed it, and come to find out I'm 10 books ahead of my reading challenge. I was thinking of changing my goal, but I really want to do a lot of craftwork in a couple months when my backs better and I've had a couple adjustments, and I expect that might have an affect on the book count. 

We'll see. 

Now to the title.

I'm *so* glad I keep a notebook of all my online accounts with enough info in it that I can get into most of my accounts. (there's quite a lot of obsolete data in there, but I have a method to let me know what's active or not.) 

I've had enough online and equipment changes (My second ISP changed e-mail clients and I lost my primary e-mail address (I'd had it for over 20 years), so I was twittering around reactivating the secondary e-mail addresses I'd gathered over the years (I have about 4, I think, but was only sort of using 3) redistributing the more important contact and information e-mail to them), Then I went looking around for a better ISP and found one, which meant getting a new primary e-mail. So with all that, I've been in and out of accounts re-setting passwords and changing e-mail addresses, If I didn't write enough details down, I'd be screwed. 

I now have to figure out which newsletters and contacts I want where. I (luckily) can take my time now. 

Ok, This is an abrupt stop, but the back is complaining. I've got to go stretch.

Back in the groove. . .or should I say thread. . .

I'm happily back into cross-stitching. It's taken too long to get here, but I'm back.

I only do about an hour of work per piece right now, but I'll take anything I can get. In a few days I'll push myself to do more, but not too hard. I've damaged my back and sitting in one position for too long is not a good idea. I also don't want to go back to my previous mind set. That was miserable.

I mean, I do like reading, but I like doing other things as well.

Anyway, I should be sleeping, but I was excited and wanted to post.

I'm off.

Good night!

Well. . .

I finished the bracelet.

It's not perfect (rice pearls aren't all perfect, and the ones I bought really aren't perfect).

But I really like it. I'm happy,

Next project.
