No lie, woke up and it was 29 degrees outside. By 3 this afternoon it was 87. WTF? I hate spring sometimes, or at least these temperature swings.

More drama at work and I find myself going 'just one more week.' (was going to put something political here but am now living in paranoia about that because my job's hanging by a thread as is. I just wish my friends would understand why I'm not constantly posting political things. Count my social spaces as a place of rest where you can unwind a little from the horrors)

I had a strange morning. I was typing and it was fine then suddenly the keyboard started randomly going caplocked. Annoying but whatever but then the mouse seemed to not work and things were randomly highlighting and delating and I couldn't get it back. As soon as I did, it would get cut again. I restarted the computer. Didn't help. Ran the antiviral program. DIdn't help. Downloaded CC Cleaner. Didn't help AND said 'CC Cleaner is out of date (HOW? I just downloaded it). Reran it and now things are fine. I still don't know why it did that.

Also I need to do some research on good antiviral programs for PCs. I don't like the one that came with it (McAfee)


So it's music monday. We're up to the letter D. I'm reccing from the last five years but you rec whatever you'd like.



Not one of Abney Park's better known ones (nor the best on this album)


Somehow I didn't recognize either of their voices as many times as I've heard this one. I think it's lovely



I can't remember if this was the first I've heard from Daniel only a few months ago but close. I desperately want to write to this (Probably for [community profile] lyricaltitles which is likely to open a new challenge soon. This is the guy I think [profile] suzume_seta will like



If you asked me are you a Dua Lipa fan I'd probably cock my head to the side and go huh but the truth is I like her more than I knew






I don't know why I like this dumb thing but I do


I don't listen to country as much as I once did but this wasn't bad

I hate it when it's so cold in the morning and hot in the afternoon. How do you dress? Since I don't work, I can wear pants out in the morning and change into shorts later, but it's still frustrating, and must be very annoying for people who can't change at the drop of a hat. Layers are your friend, I guess?

Sorry about the work drama.

My keyboard does shit like that all the time and it is very frustrating. I'm glad you finally got it fixed. Mine has done it since I got this laptop. The worst is, I'll be typing along and suddenly the cursor jumps and I'm typing in the middle of a different paragraph. The weird highlighting thing has happened, too. I've just gritted my teeth and kept going.

Same about my online social spaces. They are for escape, not social activism.

I just got a new computer with ESET for the virus protection. It's supposed to be really good.

I can confirm the ESET recommendations. We weren't satisified with any of the common antivirus software options for years, and our last one, Avira, not only made us go through several hoops to be able to play some of our games but also really slowed down our machines. We switched to ESET about three years ago, both my husband, father and I, and use it on deskop comptuers, laptops, phones and tablets (Win10, Win11, Android 11-14). None of us had any issue whatsoever with performance or accessibility, and are super happy with the software. Even more; it found three or four instances of malware within my backup folders our previous antivirus software had missed. We're using the Home Security Premium package.

I hear you on the jumping temperatures, it's the same over here. Early spring in the mornings and all but summer in the afternoons... also, all the sympathies about the job/work situation, and for wanting to keep your social spaces to remain a place of refuge. *hugs*

There's always at least one song (from a given band/act) that'll hit you the right way!
