De-ja vu, for the third time!
Now, when I say I’ve experienced de-jua vu, I don’t mean the places. Unless, you count the three times we visited the Kennedy Centre . . But, I mean I have experienced this. Yes, typing a blog on this laptop. I’ve put in my note book, that the network doesn’t like me. And I’m beginning to think it is true. Firstly, the fact that when I’d spent so long a time typing an incoherent blog onto the laptop, and it had not been sent, was a big blow. You don’t know how tired I was in writing it, (and how long it took!!!) yes, I’ll keep on emphasising that fact, and apparently my guilt for not writing soon enough had no effect. This deterred me, which is why I failed to do one . . or at least I had thought so. The next morning, I had awoken early to update the audience, but this one was not even incoherent. It didn’t even start! Sama was on it before I came on, and the sites she went on worked perfectly. Why, then, when I go on there, does it fail to connect? The same small window kept popping up, and the same feeling of me being disliked by the thing increased. Which is why, the next day, I failed to type a blog into the laptop. Besides, I didn’t have much time, and not much energy .. . .
The first, above, blog I had done, was entitled, ‘Late, and not only due to jet-lag!’ I am still living by my, ‘home-time,’ and therefore growing tired very early. This was enough to endure in Florida, now that we’re one hour back even more, I am slightly dreading my reaction to the time. I am also late in the fact that I have not typed a blog. Hopefully, this one will work. I tried one when we reached here, after I had spoken to my mum, after I had grown quite outwardly emotional, and to have sent it and to recieve the fact that it had not been sent, was again a major blow. I’ve got to save this, and shorten it. So I’ll update you from what we did since I have not written, so literally, flashbacks, as everyone else will be writing in the present. However, to spur you onto the chance of winning the ‘comment competition,’ I’ll give you something to comment on - why has my cold started? (Yes, I have a cold, and have had one ever since the second day in Orlando, Cocoa Becah, very very dismal, I can tell you!), and secondly, why I have still got it, only that it worsened on our way to Texas? Why the searing pain and the thought of crying at the fact that I honestly thought my head would explode? And, honestly, it really was that bad. I’m not going to tell you how I felt, in terms of ’symptons’ as that would most certainly give it away. And, guys, use specific terms, you know what I’m like with detail! Yes, I check up on what you send! This blog is dedicated to mum, for spurring me on to write this. I will be so down hearted if this blog does not get sent! I’ve got to keep this short, so guys, start thinking, researching, and then typing!

Hi Archana - sorry to hear about your cold - hope it improves soon!
Here’s a suggestion to make sure you don’t lose any future blog entries . . . . type them up first in AppleWorks (the icon for it is in the dock at the bottom of the desktop), then copy and paste it into the blog. If you lose your wireless connection for some reason then just copy and paste it again.
Hope this helps,
Richard
My Archana I have recieved your blog. Hope you feel better today. Going into a different climate can cause a cold mind you having said that I’m in the same cold wet weather and I’ve got a cold and yesterday on the tv there was an ad saying ‘reach for VICKS on the onset of a cold’, and while the mum attends to her needs her son is on a shopping spree, she glares at him ,says no, he has a tantrum but she has a bigger tantrum and collapses on the floor, kicking and screaming, then gets up and things are back to normal. Anyway relax and have plenty of fluids. ‘did you take the vicks?’. Have a lovely time in Houston, sounds more nicer than Florida.
Thanks for getting in touch last night, It was most lovely hearing your voice. This is a fantastic way to keep in touch so best of luck with future blogs. Lots of love mum, Rahat
