My how things don't change!

Recently I had a rant here about how busy I am and how I can't take on any more, and in fact have to cut back. My lightning quick response was to add another responsibility or two. Now I'm taking the weekly sermon and converting it from cassette to a posting on the internet. The conversion from cassette is easy, I use a cassette player with a USB connection and Audacity to convert the tape to a wave file. I then upload it and voila, pastor is on the web. Fortunately I can start the process and 90% of it doesn't need my intervention.

The other thing I'm doing is taping funerals at our church and converting the cassette tapes to CD. Once again, it doesn't take a lot of my time, but it is another thing to do. Fortunately, funerals don't occur all that often. And not everyone wants their funeral taped or converted.

I'm going to try something new for me: I'm going to boot my laptop from the HD of my last laptop. It's connected via USB and should work fine. The advantage is that I have certain software on that HD that I would have to buy new to install on my other HD. I'm also looking into software that will let me move my software off the old HD onto the new one and fool the software into thinking it can run there as though it were originally installed there. I won't be running it on the old HD after I do this, so it should be OK. I'll report on how it goes in a later post.

Still struggling with ADD and getting up in the morning. I'm having a hard time getting up at 6am or earlier. I tend to reset the alarm and go back to sleep. Gotta' quit that. I need to refocus my motivation on why to get up, as "Just because I want to." doesn't cut it. Any advice would be appreciated.

Gotta go! Millionaire and Jeopardy are going to be on soon. Alluring shows for an ADDer.
