Good Times/Hard Times

This is the first summer I have taken off in four years from school. Not that I'm usually that busy in the summers anyway. I usually only take one class per summer semester, and of course, I don't work in the summer. That's not actually enough to keep a girl too busy either. For some reason, though, I'm not finding enough hours in the day to fit everything in that I need to do! I'm pretty sure that being lazy and having a new boyfriend isn't helping, but I can't seem to get my laundry and everything else done! Not working also means no income, so, the hard times (which I'm kind of used to) are upon me again.

Obi-Wan and I are also experiencing our first little bouts of "hard times". Our lifestyles are so very different, and it's been hard adjusting - for both of us.

I've been talking a lot lately about my future plans - other people's future plans . . . cuz that's what you do when you're a student . . . discuss . . . I've really gotten away from what it is that I want to do, but then again, there are so many options and things I'm interested in. I've got to decide which ones of those are truly just interests and hobbies, and which are attainable lifetime goals.

One of those interests is being a personal trainer, but I've really let myself go. I've gained 10lbs since I met Obi-Wan . . . due to eating horribly and drinking a lot, but also because I skip the gym all the time. I've got to stop that! I obviously suck so much at motivating myself that I've got to think if I would be any good at motivating other people in the same thing! After all that's what personal trainers do best . . . motivate.

So, right now I'm having some of te best times in my life, but I've also been fighting with myself a lot. But it's all good, right? One of the problems with being a person that always thinks they're right (which I am) is that you always think you have to have the answers right away, and it's actually okay to be confused a little bit. Maybe . . . I just realized that this whole post might be a little confusing to anyone but myself. My brain is fighting with itself again!

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...
