Dysfunction Suits Me

Out of the mix?

I have been a horrible blogger lately. I think about things I want to sit down and say, and I just never get around to it!

Hamster Update: He' s so sick. He hasn't eaten or drank any water for a week now. I don't know what to do for him. I'm hesitant on giving him anything to help him out (Thanks, though, for the alcohol advice, K). But, I feel so bad for him. He just limps around. I don't even hear him at night anymore, which I thought used to annoy me, but now realize that it was somewhat comforting when I was falling asleep. How did I become attached to this hamster? Part of it is a little bit of sentimentality. I bought him with an ex and, well, I'm sure you get it.

My class presentation was supposed to take place on Tuesday. My partner, Jason, and I were going to be last, but everyone else took so long, and we had like 5 minutes. So, we got up and Jason started talking...and kept talking...and the professor had to end it, and told us we could finish up on Thursday...today...I couldn't believe it! I freaked out for nothing, and now I get to freak out again!

Gotta run...I never have time for this anymore!!!

call your local vet and see how much to euthenize the hamster. It can't be much and it can't hurt to ask. It would probably make everyone feel better.

You can ship him here and I can ask my friend to do the sock treatment. EWE!

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 ...
