Fame at last

Last night I put in another order to have a custom guitar built for me and the company just rang me, as they do, to confirm some of the customisation options. After going through each of our lists, he asked if I wanted to come down to pick it up in person, as they like to meet people who regularly buy from them. I'm very flattered, as I'm sure they get some very cool people showing up, but I'd probably be a major disappointment to them. Plus I don't like to travel anymore, what with my eyesight and all.

Anyway, I just fancied saying something about it, as it feels pretty cool to have somebody show an interest in me. Smallest violin in the world playing just for me, right?

Oh, I've just had to call the police, as there's a crazy guy outside shouting nonsensically. He's probably on drugs or something, but I'm concerned about his safety, so I thought I'd do, well, something.

That's all for now. Just a quick one today!

Do stay in touch, darlings.

Toodles!

Gathering my thoughts and strength

So I've calmed down a little since yesterday. I have missed some brain medicine, hence the extra emotional instability. I ended up having a few beers and a takeaway after I posted, which chilled me out. I didn't overdo it, for a change. I have been binging a lot lately though.

I'm hoping to head out tomorrow to pick up my prescription, but I also have a parcel arriving, so we shall just have to see. I really don't want to miss anymore tablets, as I'm getting those horrid metallic dizzy spells I usually get when accidentally withdrawing.

I'm still experiencing grief due to my ex dying plus, if you factor in having to deal with eBay oddballs, then you get an extra-stressed Jim. The eBay purchase finally arrived today (although I've not opened it yet), so at least that mess is out of the way. I hope.

It's just been little things here and there that keep cropping up that has led to my extra stress. And, of course, my ill-advised attempt to get back into social media. I did warn people that my returning may only be temporary, so I hope I won't have to explain myself to everyone. Not that they'll notice I'm gone, of course.

I'm typing this on my new Apple MacBook, by the way. I finally got round to leaving Microsoft, which was a rational decision, and certainly not because I lost my temper with my old Windows machine.

Errr...

But, yes, I'm liking the efficiency of my Apple machine, although it is taking some getting used to. I did use Microsoft for over thirty years, after all. I need to explore it more, as I'm not sure whether there's an official word processing program on here, or whether it's just Notes. I still have my paid annual subscription to Microsoft Office to cancel but, if they do a version for OS, maybe I'll keep it. Hmmm. I was feeling inspired to write today, but I may actually just do that here. You know, start a separate blog and publish a serialised story, Dickens-style. Not sure who'd read it though.

I've just bought a new amplifier online too. It's collection only, but the guitar shop isn't too far from where I get my medication, so I'll try to kill to birds with one stone, as they say.

Well, I best get to bed. I may have lots to do tomorrow. I'm currently watching 30 Rock in bed, which is a great comfort watch.

Do stay in touch, darlings.

Toodles!

Another sad retreat into isolation

I've nervously been dipping my toe back into Facebook and Twitter, hence me not posting here for ages, but it's all gone disastrously.

Surprised? No, me neither.

I'm feeling very tearful. I seem so adept at rubbing people the wrong way and losing friends. Even virtual friends. Virtual friends I haven't even made yet.

I'm going to stay in and stay off for a while. Limit my contact with the outside world.

Just me and single player video games, DVDs and guitars.

This world is not for me, so I shall create my own.

Everything is just terrible.

And it will only get worse.
