I don't have much to say…
The move was not as stressful as any of my other moves, but it was loooooong. Over 7 hours with the movers. I don’t know about you, but uh, it’s only a 1 bedroom condo that they moved, and I was ready! What the heck took 7 hours??!
By the end of it, I was actually saying, just give it to me and I’ll take care of it. Hell, I can certainly screw back on the legs to my couch that didn’t need to come off in the first place. And, I didn’t hire them to organize, and yet, they kept on insisting they ask me where every single box went. “Uh, just put it all *there*”… I kept saying.
Oh, and I hired *3* men because I thought that would go faster. One guy just stayed with the truck, even though the lovely Corinna
was kind enough to watch my stuff for me.
I was kind of annoyed. But it’s over now.
And the day after I moved, you’d never know that it had just happened the day before — I was completely unpacked, and organized. The moving box guy couldn’t believe it. But, that’s the way I do things… Just get ‘er done. There’s life to live!!
Easter was really, really hard for me. I really missed my Dad. I felt awfully alone. I guess I could have called up one of my friends, but they were all away, or with their families or whatever… And, I wasn’t feeling great anyhow. So, I guess it was a self-imposed loneliness, and I should just shut the hell up about it.
Ya, I guess I’m not in the best of moods today. It happens.

Sorry, to hear you had a tough Easter.
Mine was quiet too, but I got some projects done (an app for a PD award, errands, clean out the fridge, etc…) as well as some new ones started (I love MS OneNote!).
best wishes,
P.
*hugs* I hear ya. I’m sorry that you’re missing your dad.
My grandma passed away last week, so the M-man and I went up to Kamloops for her funeral Monday/Tuesday of this week.
P: I haven’t played with OneNote much… Why do you like it so much?
B: I’m so sorry to hear about your loss.

I’ve been trying to do some research and pull it together. It comes from different sources (print, word, Excel, the web, etc…). It became disjointed in the various files I was using and I wasn’t connecting with the info as much as I liked. In OneNote I can pull in excerpts from word, powerpoint slides, excel, webpages etc .. on one page (for example) & I can write scribbly notes, use highlighters, move comments around. You can also use a tablet if you want all of your notes to be handwritten. My fave thing is I can copy & paste a quote from a website or ms document and it will add/show a url back to the source. It also has pages and subpages that are easily accessible. It totally replicates the idea of a traditional notebook. I’m pulling things together quicker and I can also turn the pages into PDFs to send to someone, and they look excellent. It’s exactly what I needed and a bit better than Zotero (a firefox extension), although it’s definitely useful for doing article research in databases. Both very cool indeed.
