The last few days haven't been the best. I'm still not up to doing things and my mind is still everywhere and nowhere at the same time. My legss are still filled with lead, and I can not concentrate. I'm pretty sure it's a side effect from the medication. But feeling this way it's hard to keep taking them, but I should give it some time.

Last night I was out of bed a 2am and saw I received an email. It was a reply from my mate. So I replied and went back to bed. After that my body was more relaxed then normal and allthough it took a while, I finaly got some sleep. Not a deep sleep, but sill, better then nothing.

Today I was feeling a bit better, not much, but not so down. I decided I needed something to lift my spirit and went to Utrecht and did some shopping. I got myself a present.

When I was doing the dolphin drawing I remembered I had an old pen tablet somewhere and decided to look it up and give it a try again. Even with the newest drivers it was not working the way it should. It had trouble with the mouse being connected as well and the pointer was jumping all over my screen. I started looking on the internet and find out that the pro's are using Wacom tablets but they are pricy. But today I found a smaller version without all the toy software, which I do not use anyway, for a normal price. Well you can buy a big one from a different brand for less but this one should be the best, so I bought it.
It's super! With the pen it's working in absolute mode and if you use the back of the pen it's an eraser. But you can also use the tablet as a mouse pad with your fingers and then it is relative again with multi-touch so you can do gestures to zoom or scroll. It's not a replacement for the mouse, but with the pen in you're hand it's easy to use you're fingers to have a more mouse-like control.

For the rest I've been converting video's to put on my phone, so I have something to watch when we go to Great Brittan next month. I need to put more memory in my phone if I want to put all the material there, but the price for 16 gigabyte was too much. I guess I first need to see how much I want to put on there before I buy new memmory.
