Other World

It’s that time again. Spring is gardening time. I’ve already bought seeds for herbs and veggies. I’m going to the hardware store today to pick up some flowers to dress up the porch. While I’m at it I think  I’ll pick up some wood. I’m determined to start a worm bin this year.

Graveyard shift has me interested in another project. Sleeping during the day has been tricky. The light coming in and the noise of the grounds keepers tends to wake me up. I’m sleeping longer during the day than I should be. On top of that the plants in my room are suffering from the lack of light since my blinds are closed during the day. I think I’ll move my  bed to the other end of my room. I want to build a sort of headboard to go with it. I want it to be wide enough to put my stereo on it so that I can play music to drown out the noise without playing it too loud. I’ll also hang some dark fabric from it to keep out the light so I can keep the blinds open for my plants.

My latest project is in action right now. I’m typing this post on my new OLPC laptop. I asked for one for Christmas and play time has finally started. It only just arrived. I’ve been quiet jealous of others who received theirs earlier, but it’s been worth the wait. It’s so small and light and cute! I might need to plug in a USB keyboard. I doubt this one is ergonomical. Still, I love it and I’m anxious to see what all it can do.
