Unschool Radical

I don’t know what is going on at my house. I have a little bit of self-diagnosed OCD the revolves around broken things or things not working properly. So for example if sound is not right coming from TV or washing machine is making a funny noise I will spend hours trying to fix it or take it apart and can only focus on that one thing. I am pretty god about keeping it in check on not making myself or other bonkers.

I will avoid doing any kind of upgrade to my computer for as long as possible. I am fine with installing new hard ware and can easily build a new computer from scrtahc0 assemble CPU and fan , power supply and all the motherboard stuff. Software I always run into problem and I live inconstant fear of losing my data.

This week I have broken a lot of stuff- my Ipod I ran over on Saturday. My phone has been missing for 3 weeks and I have just about given up. The windshield n My 2 month old car has HUGE crack in it.

Last week my kids did SOMETHING to my laptop and I literally sent about 10 hours trying to fix the evil virus/trojan malware that as in it. I have never come across anything like it before.

So.. I have been spending too much time looking for new stuff I can’t really afford- a new laptop , new Ipod and obsessing over a free-to air thing for the TV. I have been going on Shopping.com like a manic and doing zillion searches, like laptop and
creative zen . I feel my Scottish-ness ( err, frugal-ness) has gone into over drive. I saw a Creative Zen V plus last month at Creative Labs clearance site for 24.95 and just kicking myself that I didn’t pick it up even to have as a spare.
