When it comes to writing, it comes easy for me to write my feelings, experiences, and get my thoughts of the day written. Yes, the World Wide Web (WWW) is not safe, I have come across DD in 2001. Finding DD was a godsend and a great joy when I ran across it looking for diaries. The creation of DD has become my home away from home in 2001 and 25 years later Dear Diary has come back to its (practically) former glory earlier this year or late 2024, I have not found other online diaries that satisfied my pallet of writing. Now I know I have many diaries or journals at Dear Diary (DD) and I write a lot, I have to admit that I will write a lot during the week, but my diaries and journals are my works of words going across the screens of monitors, windows, and whatever we call some things these days. More than one word can mean the same or similar word or thing.
So, sitting here, in my living room, waiting for my caregiver Jackie to get get with lunch from Taco Bell, after her appointment, I am watching and listening to the tv program titled The UnXplained (as the title is) with William Shatner, I am finding it the right time to get my thoughts in order and write away my life of the day the best I can while at home enjoying the peace and quiet of my space as the only sounds of the tv is the only loud noises of the apartment. Now, when it comes to having my space with nothing else in it may be nice at times like this, I do find having time for myself after my caregivers gone for the day a wonderful thing in my way of thinking.
Preferred Or Not: It Is Your Choice
I know I have mentioned before so please don’t hold it against me that I repeat myself all the time. I don’t mean to be a broken and scratched record on its turntable, okay? Please bear with me and be patient. Sometimes it takes me a while to say what I want or need to say. Thank you for understanding. That is one reason I am so glad to know that Dear Diary has pretty much saved my life’s sanity at some point in my world — a world that sometimes spins a lot faster than our earth does through its days, months, years, and 5 decades of my own life.
I love using the MacOs or iOS program called Pages. At one time I have found this program plain and boring. Today, after ending my $6.99 subscription a month using MS365 online in January or February when my debit card had to be changed due to fraudulent activity, I have been careful where my debit card is used. If I can, from now on, where I can, I will use my bank account numbers instead of my debut card to get rid of headaches that creep up every now and then I cannot explain where my money goes. Pages is free on your iPhone, iPad, and MacOS whereas you have to pay $6.99 to$9.99 a month to $80-$120 a year for MS Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook. Pages, Numbers, and Keynote, Notes are free to use with your Apple products which are iPhones, iPads, Apple watch. I think at one time Apple watches were called iWatch but I can be wrong. Don’t take what I said about Apple watches and set it in stone as what they may have been called so long ago.
Pages is go to word processor these days! I love how it lays out when using the program today than several years ago. The creators of Pages, Numbers, and Keynote have created a fine usable system to write my diary entries at before copying and pasting them to my diary pages at Dear Diary. Although it is my opinion, I do want to say, if you prefer android and Microsoft Windows over Apple products, you have that right to like it over Apple products. Everyone has their preference. I know my preferences even though I use both at times during the week. Today I prefer my Apple products over android and Microsoft Windows versions. I have knowledge of both from having some type of computer in the home since I was 17 years old. My first computer system was a Commodore C64—a Christmas gift from my mom and stepdad Lonnie in 1987. It was my first gaming and writing system for a few years. There was a program called WordPerfect I enjoyed using when I used Windows OS, and for the life of me, MS365 has become its best program for Windows. WordPerfect doesn’t exist anymore… Or does it? Now I am curious.
Changes
Since writing has become my life on a daily to regular basis, I do have to admit that changes is always happening in my days of writing. Some days I have very little to say that makes sense to I have a lot that doesn’t make sense. At least that is how I see it at times. My life isn’t burning, per se, but it is definitely not ordinary. Changes? Something I find hard to accept in areas of my life — true enough — but something to be done once in a while. Practically every day I find myself dealing with some kind of change I am not always ready to accept but later finds done for the beat along the way in life sooner than later. Maybe?! Acceptable, I guess.
More Later
I have a lot more to say, but I will wait for a while.
