always too far from home

[the_siobhan]

Vacation was brilliant just hanging around the house and chilling. But way too short. Didnè(1) write as much as I wanted to. Didnèt do as much of anything as I wanted to really, because it was stupid hot all week. The current iteration of hot flashes are _awful_ much worse than the last couple of rounds. Like standing in front of a blast furnace once an hour. This summer is going to _suck_.

I discovered I donèt drink nearly as much when Ièm not at work. Something about getting enough sleep and not hating my life reduced the urge to kill a bottle of wine as soon as I get home. Whodathunk.

Having said that, I am settling into a couple of hours of itès-not-NaDruWriNi-but-Ièm-going-to-pretend-for-a-couple-of-hours-just-because-I-can. Ièm already a couple of glasses in.

Now to convince Axel to get naked and bring me gin.

(1)I occasionally hit the French keyboard hotkey and I have no freaking idea how to turn it off. Various pages on the Interwebs say alt-shift (doesnèt work) or cntl-shift (doesnèt work) or change it to US English in the control panel (already selected). So I have given up and Ièm just going to have to deal with the typos.

On a Windows computer screen there's a little thing bottom right that says

ENG
CMS

or

ENG
US.
click on it to change keyboard.

Nope. I have the icons for "get Windows 10", Windows updates and messages, speakers, internet access, my anti-virus software and a few doodads I installed myself. And the clock of course. But the not the text you speak of.

Hunh. Got me then.

I know right? I know there's a hotkey because I am apparently hitting by accident all the time. But buggered if I can find it.

I like the funny apostrophes - I'm reading as if you have a fun Scottish-ish accent. %)

To this day, whenever I see titles written With The First Letter Of Every Word Capitalized, I hear it in my head with a Quebecois accent.
