Blahness abound

Having a day where everything feels just blah.  The eBay listings haven't exactly caused a flurry of excitement and I was wondering what more I could do.  Thought maybe the baby name samplers were too specific using a name as an example, so thought I'd change the image to an obvious example rather than a more specific one.  Changed the wording, resampled the image, and eBay won't let me sign in to any of my accounts anyway!  I have one account for me personal buying use and one for selling so that there's no confusing cash flows or feedback or anything else.  Neither account signs in, so I'm assuming the problem is not at this end.  Doesn't really help things feel less blah when you can't do something as simple as add or change an image!

Got loads of writing done yesterday and added a bit more in the way of sub-plots and a whole new layer, so felt quite good about that.  Not entirely happy with one thread though.  It's a bit too 'magic powers' and that doesn't belong in the overall plot.  Yes, there's something supernatural happening, but it's too much; too silly.  One thing it's not is a comedy, so some revision to tone it down is now necessary.  Suppose knowing I'm not happy with everything I wrote adds to the blah feeling.

The worst of feeling blah though seems to come from the fact that I'm trying to do something positive and put things I can do to good use and it's very slow going now that the products are in place.  I worry that I'll lose interest or rather lose focus and although these things I've done will remain on sale, it'll be hard to stay consistent when it's ages between actions.

The one other thing really getting on my nerves is this  laptop.  I know there is nothing at all wrong with the router or the location of the router.  The poorly laptop can connect to it from the attic and still have full signal strength.  This one cannot stay connected even with line of sight.  Every half an hour, it drops the wireless connection and the only way to put it right is run the troubleshooter again.  It's frequent enough that I never close the window down and just leave it on the task bar because I know I'll need it again in a short while.  What's more is it seems to know when I need to send a message and as soon as I've finished typing, it drops the connection.  Everything I do online is with one eye on the signal strength.  It might be something to do with not spending much on the laptop, but it was the most I could afford to stick on my credit card and still meet payments right now.  I'll never like it as much as the poorly one and I'll no doubt replace it as soon as I can afford to.  Disappointment with my main means of sorting everything out does not help feelings of blah.

As a consequence of this blahness, food is sort of a necessity and not something that inspires me to enjoy.  What does food matter when everything is blah?  In fact everything is not just blah, it's also a bit meh.  Not sure when those became adjectives exactly.  The problem with them is that they're subjective and open to interpretation still.  What I think is blah and meh might be completely different to what someone else interprets them to mean.  No doubt the OED will be alerted to their existence and stronger definitions will result.  An amendment to blah, I would imagine since blah, blah, blah has been an expression in use for at least a couple of centuries.  Ha!  Infact someone on TV just said blah blah blah in it's original sense.  Meh would be a new one though.  Etymology interests me.  I don't feel blah about that.  (Not to confused with entomology which also interests me but is an entirely different can of worms, quite literally.)  There.  You can tell it's not so blah because I used my customary parenthesis at last.

But it's the only thing today that hasn't been just blah.  Maybe I'll put some music on and shake the blahness out of everything.  It might even help me completely rewrite the bits that I don't like.  Then eBay might let me in too and the day will start again.  Maybe, blah blah...
