Dysfunction Suits Me

"Home, home on the range . . . "

Home from work again. I have a huge project due tomorrow that, of course, I've been procrastinating on. It's funny, I've been taking days off from work to catch up with school, and then I take days off from school because I'm so freakin' TIRED! From what? I'm not sure. I've just been wanting to sleep all day. Then I take a nap, can't sleep at night, stay up late playing Space Colony, and then I'm screwed the next day because I need another nap.

I started off in good form this morning though. Got up, took Gabby to school, went and did cardio on an empty stomach (I read recently that you can trick your body into burning more fat if you work out on an empty stomach, but whatever I read didn't say how to remedy feelings of passing out from being hypoglycemic!), and now I've caught up on blog reading. Next goal is to stay motivated and not nap. I need to clean my car out, take out all the trash, and clean up my "work" area so that I feel like working on this project! Focus Focus Focus.

I've a had thought that I should learn to speak Russian . . . and that I should have been pre-med instead of majoring in Geography. Never too late???

Am I Going To Die? I just got stung for the first time ever by a wasp . . . So far so good . . . I can still breathe, I haven't swelled up like a balloon, yet . . . But it hurts and itches like crazy!!! It's almost the end of the semester and I am completely swamped! Two projects, two papers, and three finals, all in the next 3 weeks . . . Somehow I'll handle it. I've actually all of sudden "woken up" where school is concerned. I've been in such a daze for like the last 7 or 8 months. The AOC has changed my life as I knew it . . . in good and bad ways!!! Bad because he takes up too much of my thoughts . . . and I need all the brain capacity that I can get!!! Somehow, after years of barely even talking to anyone at work, and only a couple of years of actually being a little more friendly with my co-workers, I seem to have been sucked up in "office politics" and I HATE it! I used to really like going to work . . . now I just want to quit!! It still...

DIY Faux Brick Wall with German Schmear

Written February 14, 2021, when I tried to start a WordPress blog , but failed because I'm old and it's too complicated. My estranged (?), separated (?), I don't know what, husband, and I actually worked on this together. I watched 1,000 YouTube videos and read another 1,000 posts on how to do this. In the end, I took a little from here and a little from there. The faux brick paneling was bought from Home Depot. We cut the seams with a Ryobi jigsaw , used liquid nails and a Ryobi nail gun to attach the panels, and used joint compound mixed with a bit of water for the schmear. It's a perfectly, imperfect technique. I practiced a little, but decided to just jump in and let the wall take on a life of it's own. I will warn that the joint compound dries much whiter than you think it will. Use sparingly if you want to see more brick. Once the wall was finished, I painted the other walls Sherwin Williams Perfect Greige . Shelves and floor...

Has anyone ever told you you look like . . . ? If I have to hear someone tell me one more time that I look like Ann Margaret...I will SCREAM...or worse yet, Fergie!!! The only thing I have in common with these two women is the color of my hair!!! What was the other one I've heard?...Julianne Moore (or however it's spelled). I realize there aren't that many redheads in the world...and I realize that some people have this overwhelming need to compare the way people look to someone famous...but PLEASE!!!???...don't just go by the color of someone's hair
