I realize that I spend WAY TOO MUCH time on line these days. It only exacerbates my isolation, even though it is my social link to the world. Last night I was wondering how I ended up in this mental state? How did I become some one who spends most of every day linked into a box? This isn't how I want to be living my life.

I blame some of it on getting in the habit of being on line in front of a computer all day long from my job. And then it was getting wireless internet at home. Being pregnant and part time working didn't help. Then home all the time with a new born, so I couldn't go about my life as I'd used to. After over a year of this the patterns are ingrained. The habits have hardened.

It's time to start weening myself of this silver little box. I am fairly certain I can utilize this tool and maintain my social connections while also expanding the rest of my life again. I miss exercise, reading, getting out and these are things I get back to. I really don't need to read a lot of the blogs I do and I certainly don't need Facebook. LJ is a little more vital to me.

With that, I shall close this laptop and go away.

Yes, please! I'd love that! I too am sick. Gah. But surely this can't last the week and next week I have many days off thanks to Passover. Next week perhaps?

next week would be awesome! Next week Anaar is also doing a presentation at Mystic Dream too if you'd like to carpool there with me.

Argh! Next Sat afternoon I already have plans. BUT, I see that Mystic Dreams is having a Feri Circle on Friday night. I was thinking of going. Are you interested in going?

Friday I get to work, so no circle for me. Oh well, I guess we'll just have to settle for chatting over tea!

I can get together Thursday (really good for me) or Friday. Is there a place we can meet up midway? I don't have a car, so public transport-friendly is key.

I'm already booked Thurs and Fri. How does next week look for you? And just name a cafe that is convenient for you!
