I just want to sit here in silence and eat my biscuit

I had big plans today. I went to work as usual, and then left early for an appointment with my massage therapist. I injured my shoulder a little over a year ago, and every time it starts to get better, I have to go back to work, and it slowly starts to be re-injured. I guess it’s not so much an “injury” as it is a hazard from my job . . . repetitive motion . . . so, these massages that I get aren’t exactly relaxing . . . my back and chest will probably be black and blue tomorrow.

I then went to look for this CD that I want by a guy named Toothpick. I really want it . . . couldn’t find . . . bought System of a Down instead. I’m not really big on buying CD’s since it is so easy to just download, but if I really really like something, I’ll buy it.

Next, my plans were to go to the gym, tan, go to the grocery store, take Gabby to Karate, but . . . none of that happened. It started to rain (suppose to rain until Sunday), and the only thing that sounded good was coming home and taking a nap . . . so, that’s what I did. I had a very strange dream where I was one of the characters from the L-Word (Shane). I had my face and my hair was red, but cut like hers, and my body was all of a sudden very boyish like hers . . . I was snorting coke, not just lines of it, but whole bricks . . . very strange, even more strange because the character doesn’t do it, and I’ve never done it, so who knows! But I was a huge drug addict in the dream. And even stranger was that I woke up with a huge sinus headache.

Went for dinner with Josh and Gabby . . . pancakes for dinner . . . Gabby’s favorite, and today was her last day of school, so things will be a little less hectic around here. I’m more tired now though than I was when I had classes. Spending a whole day at a desk, sitting, instead of being able to at least walk around on campus is taking its toll on my shoulder, and my whole body in general. I haven’t even been to the gym in nearly two weeks.

One more day of work, and then I have a three day weekend all to myself. Gabby will be at her dad’s, and her brother is coming into to town, so she’ll be very happy. Hope it doesn’t rain too much this weekend. I have possible plans to go to Austin with some friends and spend the time out on a boat on some lake.

question who is the AOC??? what does it stand for? I am curious to know. why hasn't he just come from where ever and sweep you away??
AOC is a guy I met online and stands for 'adventurous online crush' (my friend Josh's idea for the acronym). He has a weird, but cool job that has kept him pretty busy this year. We'll see what happens...

Happy Freakin' New Year

Written January 1, 2021, when I tried to start a Wordpress blog , but failed because I'm old and it's too complicated. 2020 and I had a love/hate relationship. I hated seeing what was happening to others and the world. I dealt with my fair share of struggles, but mostly, I think I was the closest to contentment that I've ever been. 1. I LOVED working from home MOMO working from home 2. I felt closer to my family 3. I didn't mind the slower pace and less to do 4. I was able to have a better work/life balance 5. I felt more productive at home and at work 6. I did a couple of home projects - helped my parents landscape my front yard, gave my bedroom a makeover with my sister, and reorganized my pantry with her Before After Pantry Makeover Bedroom Makeover 7. I spent the best summer with my son and dogs at my sister'shouse - laughing, crying, painting rocks, getting to know my fur nieces and nephews (Wall-E, Maggie, Leeloo, and funny, little, Peyton who we lost in...

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...

Constant Construction

I don't know how non-ADD brains, non-anxiety riddled bodies handle living in this type of chaos, but I can tell you that with ADD and anxiety, this construction chaos paralyzes me.  All I want to do is run away and travel instead of just buckling down and getting it completed.   It's been years of living in some sort of disarray.  That hole in my ceiling has been an ongoing project for nearly 10 years.  Something my estranged husband was supposed to handle, but never did.  So, I hired a guy from Thumbtack, who got the job done, eventually.  He could definitely strengthen his time management skills.   Big changes coming for this room.  Change is slow to come in this household, but I still hold out hope everyday that it will speed up.
