Giving some rest to laptop

Happy Wednesday from this side of the planet . It's bright sunny outside. It's a gorgeous weather . It's 12 noon as I write this discussion. It was an off day for me as the child who was scheduled for the session is sick. Even the Montessori teacher who had a one to one meeting with me is down with flu. So, there was nothing for me to be physically present there. It was a relaxed morning . My husband is working from home and my younger daughter has study leave for exams. My niece was the only one to go out and she leaves around 9:15. So, I could start my day late at 7:15 AM.I stayed up late in the night till 1 AM mylotting here. I have a lot to catch up. Finished my morning walk, morning chores and cooking. For almost 80 minutes, I was on my laptop finishing some report writing. It's almost end of the academic year( it ends in March). I have started working on the reports now as it doesn't become overwhelming at the end. I have eight of them to write and it's a very elaborate one. I could feel the stiffness in my neck. So, I switched off my laptop and walked around the house clearing some stuffs and folding the clothes that were on chair since last evening. Now, I don't want to switch on the laptop till late afternoon. I will just sit here, watch the news about the ongoing budget session for the coming financial year and mylot on my phone. I am now a pro when it comes to typing on my smartphone . That's a great skill and I am proud to have achieved it with some practice over the last one year. It's first day of the new month. We are into second month of the new year. Hope we have a good one. Catch you later. I will meet you in the notifications for now. There are quite old ones waiting to be answered. Take care. Stay happy And healthy.

That looks beautiful in the picture. It's scenic. But I can understand that in reality it can be annoying if it continues for few days. Stay warm. Stay indoors and have a good time

@arunima25 The first inch is solid ice with snow on top of that. I've been watching cars slide down our road today. It's dangerous. We don't have any appointments this week. I told Pretty I'm not going outside so she better not ask me to take her anywhere.

@DaddyEvil It's better to not drive in such dangerous situation. Stay home and stay warm. Good that you have nothing important to step out in such weather. Hope the weather is getting better. How is it now??

February starts with a beautiful sunny day and the temperature is not below zero, that is good enough for me. I have to force myself to get up from my chair and stop using the computer every hour, to rest my eyes and my neck.

@arunima25 Spring starts the 21st of March, but often is still pretty cold. The days get warmer after mid April. In fact the cold is back now, we had a below zero nigh yesterday. I try to remember to take breaks from my computer.

Sounds like a pleasant weather there. Is spring around the corner? Here, we are officially into the spring. It's beautiful blooms all around us in the parks and gardens. The weather is pleasant too I do the same. It's stressful for my eyes, back and neck to sit for long hours in front of the screen. It's good to take breaks. It can take a toll on your health.

@arunima25 perhaps your laptop need to move around too, how about taking it to dance?

It's needed to move around after sitting for that long. And we always have something to take care of when moving around..

Well, so far February has been great . I am almost done with all the reports. I might have to enter few last minute updates and do some editing once it is viewed by the principal. It's a big relief. We have to hand over reports to parents by third week of March. Today I plan to clear all notifications. At least I have cleared the old ones. I would have lost them today. I hope you are having a great February too.

I am resting with my feet up on the couch. Mylotting helps me relax. And then I will definitely take my short afternoon nap at 4. I don't miss it.

That’s a good idea to do the report writing a little at a time so it’s not so overwhelming all at one at the due date. I myLot from my phone all the time. Takes more time to type the the computer but I don’t have time to sit at the computer. With my phone I can pop in and out anytime I want online. Like now while the baby is asleep on my lap.

I am relieved and relaxing now. No last minute rush. We will hand it over to parents by third week of March. I have started enjoying phone now. And the autocorrect feature that irritated me earlier seems like a blessing now. The typing is so fast now

It's sunny but cold here today. I can't wait for winter to be over and some beautiful spring weather to arrive. You sound like you had a busy start to your day and the one thing I still haven't mastered is being able to myLot on my cell phone. I can do a little here and there but I need the laptop to be able to myLot successfully.

@arunima25 beautiful weather and blooms sounds heavenly. I'm counting down the days til spring and I'm even looking more forward to days when I can sit outside. Using your smartphone to be online probably is easier than having to open the laptop

We are officially into spring. beautiful weather and lots of blooms around . Hope the weather gets better there and you have spring soon. Our spring is pretty short, it stays only for a month. I am now very comfortable with smartphone. In fact that has helped me to be more online. Earlier I would need a laptop and I found phone annoying.

I would say that it's sickness in the air in the last few weeks. We have seen so many around us catching it. And these days even seasonal flus are so nasty. Happy that you didn't catch up. Stay healthy and take care. Happy February to you too

It's good you're getting a head start on the reports. I'm sorry the child and the teacher was sick. It gave you more time at home. I'm behind on notifications too. It happens. I hope you had a good start to February too.

@arunima25 I worry about losing notifications if I'm away for too long. I could always check them back on my emails if necessary. I'm glad you're basically done with your report writing.

I find it pretty monotonous and tiring sitting infront of the screen for too long. I need those breaks to stretch, move around and do some other chores.
