Post #179 - It's July 2021

Yes it's that time of year again where everything is winding down towards the school summer break. Master Logic is going bonkers on it, more's the pity.  

Have I just emerged from a period of clinical depression caused by applying for my third attempt at obtaining Personal Independence Payment (PIP). Yes is the answer. Anyway, I completed the 'phone assessment last Thursday but I don't expect a favourable result.  Nope, nothing, nada, not a bean for poor old Mrs Logic - boo!

Post #178 - It's March 2021

Yes it is, the calendar told me so and by that, I mean the Gregorian calendar, not the Julian, which according to Wikipedia, would mean that today is 19th February 2021 and not 7th March 2021. I wouldn't mind trying to regain those lost couple of weeks though - well, perhaps not - it's still Lockdown and the winter lingers on. The calendars I do use are Google and Samsung, although I'll probably just use the former as the latter doesn't link into Zoom, Skype or MS Team Meetings, which is a PITA.

I developed the lung lurgy last week and was laid up in bed with it, but the upshot is that my body is so many hours of sleep in credit that it didn't let me sleep at all last night - not a wink, not a snooze and certainly not a doze - nada, nothing.  It wasn't COVID-19 by the way - whenever anyone has a sniffle, that's what people think, but no, it's not that.  Anyway, I filled the wee small hours by watching re-runs of series four of the late lamented UK police procedural show The Bill.  This was first shown on ITV back in 1988, so I almost certainly watched it at the time - it's not as though as I had much to do as a geeky suburban teenager, in fact, PC Pete Ramsey looks slightly like my late elder brother, but my sibling didn't drive a vintage Porsche during the 1980s, in fact I think that he never managed to pass his driving test.  

The trouble with doing strange art projects during the night is that by the cold light of day, they're ... odd.  

I suppose that it was kinda necessary to test out the pens, but hey - art and design isn't really my bag or indeed my large black ugly mug. 

Post #177 - The Rules - Once Again ...

I received my email copy of one of the local disability charity's monthly newsletters today. Last month, in my post entitled The Rules I basically whinged about how I was scolded for breaking the one of the codes on their private Facebook group.  I'm not sure whether it was just that which triggered this particular link to them as an aide memoire?  

It makes sense I guess, but I was angry when I made the Facebook post.  Luckily, as regular readers will no doubt be aware, me and Facebook have parted company - permanently! 

Post #176 - January - not the Pilot song

So, it's January 2021 and the UK is yet again under Covid-19 lockdown for about the umpteenth time.  Is it annoying because Master Logic isn't at school - yes; am I getting bored - yes; is there anything which can be done about it - no.  Adjusting to what everyone is calling The New Normal isn't quite as bad for us Aspies when you think about it.  

The broadband is playing up because it's overloaded - sigh!  Even Virgin Media cable is creaking.

Post #174 - Lockdown Three: This Time It's Personal

Yes, the UK is currently in Lockdown Three and I'm located in Tier 4.  Life's odd - are we all going to die?  Do we care?  If so, should I bother buying any more shampoo?

Master Logic has been off of school for bloody ages now - despite him being in a special autism unit in a mainstream school they decided that it would be best if the lads learned from home.  Better for whom?  It's caused nothing but anguish here, I can tell you.  

I think that 2021 is going to be a kick ass year for Mrs Logic and co.

Post #173 - Cold Weather Blues

 Further to my last post I have now blocked the person who scolded me and withdrawn from the group.  Yes, this is extreme, but it's me.
