Christmas Tins Rock My Socks

I started off this morning feeling pretty down on myself. I'm getting sick again, which I'm pretty sure is because I ran out of my antibiotics, my throat was never better anyway (just being kept at bay), and I think the reason my throat swelled up again this morning is because of allergies. So, now I can add itchy eyes and a runny nose to the things that are wrong with me, oh, and the sinus headache, too. I'm feeling better now though. I've made some decisions in my head about school and some other stuff (I haven't actually gone through with the decisions, but at least I've made decisions), and, well, I just feel better.

I haven't been getting many things done in my life at all, and I will honestly admit that part of that has to do with JC. I just love being around him all the time, and we have such very different schedules, it's hard to make the time. Now it's going to be even harder. He got a second job, and will pretty much be working 6 days a week from 9am to around 10 or 11 pm. So, we have Sundays, and every other Friday and Saturday, but not much more. I'm thinking that it sucks, but it's also good...he's working for his future, and it gives me motivation to get things in order since I can't see him in the daytime anymore.

I've seriously narrowed this down, but here's 5 reasons why I love this man more than anything...

1. He makes me laugh uncontrollably. Better yet, he laughs with me, at me, and it's glorious.

2. He's the first person I've ever met that can truly "handle" me because he really gets me. I'm used to getting everything I want, and getting extremely mad when I don't...and he's the first person to come along and be able to say, "You can have this, but not that", and it's ok with me.

3. He makes me blush, gush, and get butterflies with almost every word and every look.

4. He's smart, witty, personable, loveable, confident, and other people adore him, which makes him all the more attractive.

5. He dresses up as Obi-Wan Kenobi for his job and attaches a braid to his sweet little head for Godsake!!!!!

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...
