I have called you here today to have an intervention - on myself!! Ever since I discovered "The Periscope", I have been tied to my technology almost 24/7. I might miss something! Below is my workstation for the last few days on my recliner couch (minus the dog, wine, candy). I blame this addiction on @sheilajteaching who got me all excited about "The Periscope" with her perpetual perkiness and enthusiasm. Yes, I'm looking at you, Sheila. "Let's drink wine and scope!" she said innocently...
Note the iPod is plugged into the computer so it doesn't die while watching scopes, as is my Note3 phone for texts, calls, etc... if I am watching something else. Note the multiple tabs open on the computer so I can watch something on YouTube or post something if I don't feel like typing on a tiny keyboard. I also have a pair of headphones, because God forbid my children should want to interact with their mother. (Hot Hub has been out of town and the kids are independent. Wait - I thought I had 2 kids???) What you can't see is my notebook for jotting ideas if I don't feel like typing, my wide variety of colourful pens/stickies as well as the permanent ass-print on the couch.
Okay the tech party is over - Hot Hub is back in town and the house looks like - well, messy, like it usually does (okay maybe worse), my ears hurt from the headphones and I think I'm starting to emit a faint odour called "Stinky Tech Teacher". When your dog's breath smells better than you, it's time to step away from the technology.
I'm going to snuggle with my kids, turn off my notifications and either have a nap or watch a trashy tv show or maybe even shower. (Not clean the house, though.) When Hot Hub gets home from work, I will hopefully greet him with a "fresher" appearance.
Signing off. For now. I'm setting a timer and not letting myself go back on social media until at least after supper. Really, I'm not. Not even if you tried. Where's my notebook? I've got some ideas for my first scope...
