upsized

since 2003 we have had a dell 15 inch monitor. now that we have 2 computers, we had to upsize a bit. k has the lcd TV that was mom's (since we upgraded to a 32" flat for the living room), and i took the little dell. well, today, I am the proud owner of a 23" LG flatron lcd moitor :) woot. merry christmas to me. k needed a new chair because she is sitting at her desk for 7-8 hrs at a time, and the one we picked up off kijiji was just not comfy for her. so we picked up a new faux leather chair from staples for her yesterday. she finds that is much better than the previous one. and that is great, since she is going to be sitting in it for hours at a time. 


as for me and the monitor, i am sure that i could have done nicely with the little Dell that we have always had, i mean, there is nothing wrong with it, still works as well as when it was brand new (2003). lets' just say i wanted a new one :) because i am spoiled like that. k thought that the new monitor and the new chair could be our gifts to one another. and i like the way she thinks. 


work tonight should be much less strenuous on my eyes with this larger monitor too. i have its settings just the way i like it, not too bright, because my eyes are sensitive to too much light. :) 

i was supposed to work on saturday for 4 hrs, but called in due to a nasty headache. lord, i dislike migraines. this one has been hanging on for about a week now. today i still have some sensitivity to light and sound, and a dull ache above my left eye and across my temple to the back of my head. this kind of headache is the worst, because it drags on and on and on. i have had others, extreme intensity...they come on sudden, and by an hour i am reduced to a lump on my bed in the dark. those ones begin with a trembling left eye, shimmers in my vision, and then BANG. i have not had one of those since i left xnet head set hell. i am thankful for that. 


i had to take a flexerall pill last night for my back. stupid back. i have not had a flare up for a long time now. must have been lifting computers and changing k's office around and setting up her new brain. ;)   we also did housework yesterday, sweeping really is hard for me, even when i use proper posture and so on. i even went to bed early last night, 1130pm, and never heard a sound until 830 this morning. that is a long time to sleep. but i feel sort of rested, and the nap ought to top me up for the rest of the day. 

make today GREAT~ poet.
