Lent and the internet

I'm off facebook for Lent, but I've also been trying to stay away from all internet stuff. But, here I am. This is my coping mechanism for facebook. Remember, way back when, before facebook, when I used to blog?

Here are the quick and dirty random bullets:

• I've, slowly, slowly, started internet dating again. Yeah.... I know.  I just don't get out much, y'all. The count so far is one nice guy that I like, a former seminarian who seems great. The bad... one nice guy who has decided he likes to bring up sexual things in chats late at night. IGNORE. Another guy, more than 10 years older than me, who tried to get me interested by saying that he had academic contacts so if I ever wanted to get a job I'd have an in... Oh, and a bunch of other weirdos. I thought I had nothing to report.
• Peanut is threatening to walk.
• My house is a right mess and today I had a really hard time with the mess. I was frustrated and overwhelmed and I was pretty down about it. I have these goals that are coming and going about budgets and dishes and laundry. I have started thinking that because my baby is older, now I should be able to do it all on my own, yknow? But, then I had a nap, smartened up, and called my Mommy to come and help me tomorrow. I feel like a loser, but I will feel like less of a loser when my house is clean.
• I have several projects underway and lots of things to send to people by snail mail -- but in the last couple of weeks, I've had bronchitis, throat infection and an ear infection -- and so has by baby. SO... I've gotten nothing done. This contributed to my previous bullet.
• The day the baby had a fever of 103, all day, there was water in my bedroom from outside. Now, my bedroom smells musty and I want to get the landlord in here to look at it. My landlord said to me -- oh yeah, that happened before. Let me know if you want it cleaned up.
• Once the baby clothes are put away, I will be calling him again. ARG. I feel paralyzed by all this STUFF.
• All in all, this Lent has felt like a real desert. I guess that's good for Lent, and I guess a walk in the desert is important once and a while. 
• Why do I not know how to spell desert?
