Everything is Falling Down Right Before My Very Eyes

It's true. I have been so busy with work, school, and Gabby, and completely obsessed with the AOC, that I have let everything including myself go! I think it started with the day I was at work, holding my cell phone in my hand, and I went to move my hair out of my face with the cell phone hand, the antenna got caught in hair, and went flying across the room. I'm pretty sure it was broken before, I can't believe I had that much hairspray in that day! I just stick the antenna back in, but it keeps falling off, and I have to search for it. My dad's solution was superglue, which I still say is a weird thing that a typical dad says, and I'm not trying it!

The next thing was my computer desk. It's huge and extremely heavy, and a little inconvinent for modern technology, but great for writing research papers and spreading yourself out. I had to move my desk away from the wall on one side so I could use my jumpdrive . . . but, it's a Target desk, and was not put together by my 7th grade wood shop teacher Mr. Degeus, so it's now falling apart . . . leaning to the side if you will. I can't close the door that's on it, and if I pull out the drawer, I have to lift and tuck it back in place. I'm not sure that superglue is the answer here.

Then, someone knocks off the stupid sideview mirror on my car. It's still just hanging there, enjoying the blowing breezes as I drive. Dad suggested superglue for this one too . . . what do you think? Will it work? It's really kind of embarrassing. I'm embarrassed enough as it is to be driving my hideous station wagon ( I just tell myself, "It was free It was free It was free"), and now the sideview mirror has up-ed me from soccor mom to ghetto-soccor mom.

My thumb has been in quite a few photos lately! Posted by Hello

Now, as school is winding down (One final left to go this morning . . . Geography of Europe . . . Did I mention that it took me 3 1/2 hours to finish my Spatial Analysis final on Tuesday! That's one reason to never be a Geography major!) I am finding out that a lot of other things are falling apart as well. I'm not the neatest person in the world, but the state of my car and my apartment at the moment is absolutely unneccessary! Stumbling around in the dark in the early mornings and stepping on a different shoe from my bedroom, down the hall, and to the kitchen is ridiculous, and I can't even blame Gabby, most of them are a member or two of my ultimate flip-flop collection. My car has the makings of a first grade level and college senior library. I probably have a 1/4 of the rain forest in paper in my car. It's been months since I waxed my eyebrows. I have bouts of eating right and eating like shit, which in turn has made my body start to fall apart. The absence of Aaron the Beast has made my muscles tight, unflexible ( is it in-flexible or un-flexible, or neither?), and sore as hell.

Monday starts a new beginning of getting out the superglue and putting my life back in order. I always get a little behind on "keeping up" during the spring semester, but this year? RIDICULOUS! AND . . . I've skipped school and work so much this spring that I really don't have that many excuses.

Anyone feel like taking a nice long vacation . . . I would be more than willing to let you pay for me to go to a spa for a week!

Superglue reminds me of House Of Wax..... :\
I used to have a problem as a kid, and technically I probably still do, of being very fidgety and getting into things when I was bored. I loved pouring wax from the candles onto my hands, and yes, I even tried to see what superglue felt like on my fingertips . . . NOT FUN!!!

Did I ever tell you about the time I wanted to know what it felt like to run over my finger with my big-wheel (5 or 6-years old maybe), so I did it, ran over it, and it cut me open and I bled like hell, and still have a scar running down my crooked middle finger!?

I would go to a body shop, batt your eyes and ask how much to glue it back on. They will probably use an apoxy glue of some sort. If you are sweet enough, they might even just do it for free. I know how these things work!

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...

Theraputic List

I've been making a lot of lists lately. It's been teraputic, and of course, that's the purpose. Therapy. I'm kind of in a phase where I'm learning to love my body. I mean, I am working hard, and I've lost another 2lbs...but just in case I don't get there, I want to love it anyway. And there are lots of things that I do love about it. It's only been in the last couple of years that I haven't felt very sexy. But 5 years ago, when I weighed the most I've ever weighed, I still felt sexy...I think that had something to do with the boyfriend I had at the time...he thought I was the sexiest thing alive at any weight...it definitely boosted my self esteem. Things I don't like about my physical appearance: 1. I absolutely despise my innter thighs! 2. And...for the rest of my body...the only thing I don't like is my abdomen area...that's always been where I carry the most weight...and I never did lose that "baby stomach"......
