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...

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...
"He's Just Not THAT Into You" Sheesz...did someone really need to write this book? Why couldn't women just be left alone in their lonesome deceiving torture upon themselves. No, really...seriously...we like not knowing the truth and playing games with our own minds. What will we have to talk about with our friends if we can't say, "What do you think he meant by this?" If everytime you have to question a man's motives or make excuses for him, and the answer to everything is simply, "He's just not all that into you"...there will be no glimmer of hope...none whatsoever...a girl won't even be able to fool herself into thinking that she can ever possibly find someone. I know I know I know...the truth hurts, and the truth also sets you free...but you'll have to be very secure in yourself and not prone to beating yourself up in order for the truth to really set you free...otherwise the truth only makes it harder to move on. So, thi...
