Good of you to ask!
Things are alright at the moment, the ship is steady.
Busy gradually sifting through old bits and bobs -- the computer has been a vital way of saving stuff, although I've yet to get a scanner for prints; that will have to come later. It's been a little while since technology went wrong on me, thank god. Anything that just delays me is not a problem if it can be replaced, but an error that may have caused permanent data loss / suddenly not recognising a drive - that's when I have something of a heart attack! I have a lot of bulky data across drives.
My concerns lately have been pretty much for family, and increasingly so - it's complex. My Mum has needed some support and understanding, while also being quite understanding of others - she is quite sensitive at times: I bought her something only little recently for Mother's Day that she had wanted, and it meant so much to her that she cried - it was very moving.
However, my Dad is very much the opposite: never shown affection or sympathy for as long as I've known, never seen him cry, and he can be irritating and aggressive, usually at the same time. If he does upset someone, it's a real battle trying to make him say 'sorry' - but it's always just been that way.
I guess that is the root of the decade-old problem between the two of them. It's now starting to come to a point where something is going to have to change soon. And when it does, I just hope there's not too much grief.
So things could be better, but they could also be a lot worse. I feel I have a good quality of life in general. For the moment at least, I am just about content with my relatively quiet life, the love of a family member and a few good friends
I suspect I've wasted my words here - doubt if anyone really gives a shite, but then I don't blame you!
