Almost 6 Months

Wow! I've been blogging a lot lately. Probably as much as I used to when I first started this thing. Add the blogs here in with the ones I've been doing over at MySpace, and I've written a novel. I suck so bad at expressing myself, and I think I've been trying really hard to get some pent up stuff out, and it just never comes out right, so I just go on, and on, and on...

I think it was like the 2nd or 3rd month into mine and JC's relationship when he mentioned something about the 6 month mark being the time when you can see if a relationship has any staying power or not. He said at that time that it already felt like it had been six months at that point. I guess so...we were already talking about "forever" pretty darn close to the beginning of this relationship. Neither one of us have experienced something so intense before. Now, the 6 month marker is actually coming up. I guess it's like anything..."if you haven't worn it in 6 months get rid of it"...even with any doubts that I might occassionally have...I don't think I'm getting rid of him. Especially with as hard as he's been trying. He got a second job, and is working really hard to make this work...and if he still wants to put up with someone like me, I guess it's damn time I started believing in him and myself, and us.

Whatever, I'm in pretty good spirits tonight. Except that my parenting patience is on it's last limb. I can't take the crying and whining tonight! It's driving me insane! It's times like this I wish I really had help!

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...
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...

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...
