Torn and Tattered

Yep! The worst week ever seems to have actually made it through a full week...starting last Monday and hopefully it ended yesterday (Monday). I will get this over with quickly, though, and hope that this is the end of it.

Last we were...broken down car on Friday...picked up Gabby and mom's car, got lost for an hour on the way to dropping Gabby off at her dad's...in the rain, talking to Jess as she laughed at me for being lost. Had to have a more than 5 minute conversation with Gabby's dad. Saturday: supposed to go shopping with mom, she cancelled. Took out my own stitches...thought I lost one. Went shopping with Josh...shopping for new jacket and boots...my feet are too big, and they never have my size...my boobs and shoulders are too big and every leather jacket has shoulder pads, and I'm not trying to look like a linebacker. Josh made me walk from the mall to Target. Josh bought stuff. He bought stuff that came in hard boxes with corners. Josh was swinging bag, and one of the said items with sharp corners swung and poked me right in the newly unstitched hole in my hand...almost beat Josh up before I stopped and had to realize it really wasn't his fault, but really wanted to hit him. Watched the movie I am Sam...if you've seen it, I don't need to say more. Driving dad's truck for the weekend...haven't driven standard in a long time...I've been taking the long way to get anywhere...avoiding the chance of being at a stop light on an incline. Yesterday we had major flash floods. I walked in the rain, sopping wet to get to class for freakin' 50 minutes (I mean the class was only 50 min.) Couldn't get anything done thanks to traffic and flooding, and dumb people getting stuck in low water crossings. Ok, this is longer than I intended. I also haven't been to the gym, I think Aaron's really pissed at me, I've eaten like absolute crap (thanks, Josh), and I haven't had a conversation with the AOC for many days now...we keep playing IM and phone tag. Also, broke the Alfie soundtrack CD that Josh bought. Oops! My nerves have been at an all time irritating level as well. I ate 12 donuts yesterday (And, no, they were not the little ones as both Josh and Jess asked me this very same question). It has rained all weekend long. Been raining basically since last Tuesday.

Good points: Josh's birthday dinner...(yum...tortillas and Sangria). Saw the movie Sideways...very, very good. Went shopping with mom on Sunday. The AOC called and left message on my cell phone. My night class was cancelled last night thanks to flooding. Vicodin and...more Vicodin.

I am Sam - That film made me cry like a girl! And none of my friends have seen it, so thanks for letting me know I'm not the only one.
Flash - I don't know how anyone could not cry at that movie. I was literally like sobbing so hard I couldn't breathe. That was one movie that was really good, but I don't think I really needed to see it.

Lizzy - LOL at the little doughnuts. I'm sorry but that's just too funny...

I AM SAM goes in the same category as A Walk To Remember...we're seeing that this spring.
We'll definitely have to get a cache of really good movies. I'm going to actually see about having that surgery done during Spring Break...then Gabby can be gone for the whole week, and you can be here for a full week, and I can take a week off from work!!!...but I am really ready for these "things" to just be gone!!!

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...
Time to Share? I have a huge crush. I have a huge crush on a man I've never met in person. I have a huge crush on a man who does things that are very cool. Yesterday in the mail I got the book that he sent me...the book that he wrote...a book about all of his travels and adventures. The more I read this book, the less confident I start to feel about this being a possible "match". I have no idea what I can offer this older, more sophisticated, more worldly man. The biggest adventures in my life are grappling with 18-year old freshmen for a parking space at school, finishing a set of push-ups and pull-ups at the gym, or wrestling my daughter to the ground for a bath. Maybe I can teach him all about Sponge-Bob Square Pants? This is again one of those times where things seem too good to be true. The emails we send back and forth would suggest that there is a great interest and curiosity on both sides, and that something really good could possibly come from this!!! His ...
