Great Day!

I woke up this morning and had my usual morning routine when I'm not in school or working or anything...bagel, coffee, OJ, and then I read for like 2 hours. I fell asleep thanks to all the medication I'm on, and had some crazy dreams. I woke up and read for another hour or so, picked Gabby up from school, and headed to JC's to pick him up. It's his day off from his usual job, so we actually got to spend some quality time together. Gabby did her homework, and then headed off to her friend's house upstairs...and I will admit, even though it might me sound like a horrible parent, that JC and I used that time to have the some true "quality time", which is kind of fun when you're trying to be sneaky and quick and stuff...then we laid on the couch together, him reading his book, and me reading mine...I got the better end of the deal though with a complete foot massage...Then we kind of had some serious relationship talks, which has been happening a lot lately, but I think it's good. I have a lot of stuff that I have to "get over" from past relationships, and he's been so sweet and understanding in letting me just work through it. He was a little upset though because I have a hard time believing that he loves me as much as he says he does and that he's as attracted to me as he says he is. It has nothing to do with him. It's just a lot of old crap. Then Mi-Mi came over and we ate dinner, and talked, Gabby came home from her friend's and watched Fantasia with JC while Mi-Mi and I chatted on the porch. It was a really nice relaxing eveing with my daughter, the love of my life, and one of my best friends. Couldn't ask for more. Mi-Mi and JC left to go out and do karaoke tonight, and Gabby and I are off to bed...well, she's already asleep. I'm waiting for the Vicodin to kick in. I'm a little afraid that I might become seriously addicted to this stuff. I think JC is, too, especially when he told me last night that he would rather I just buy a bottle of wine to drink and sleep than to keep taking more and more painkillers. I'm just gonna have to wean myself off of them a little bit.

This weekend is my Gabby-free weekend, and I can't wait to be able to actually spend the entire night wrapped up safe and snug in JC's arms...sappy, I know. Josh's birthday is Saturday, and I need to think of something to do for that. I think we're going to Charlie Brown's for karaoke on Friday night. I haven't done that in a while, so it should be fun. Not that I ever "do" karaoke...I just sit there and watch JC with goo-goo eyes, as Mi-Mi says...in fact, I think she threatened to punch me if I did it again one night...LOL...

I've really been neglecting this once very important blog...I love the design from desinablog, but now I'm thinking that it's a little too "dark" for me...I might do it again, and get them to do something a little brighter.

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...

Time to Share? I have a huge crush. I have a huge crush on a man I've never met in person. I have a huge crush on a man who does things that are very cool. Yesterday in the mail I got the book that he sent me...the book that he wrote...a book about all of his travels and adventures. The more I read this book, the less confident I start to feel about this being a possible "match". I have no idea what I can offer this older, more sophisticated, more worldly man. The biggest adventures in my life are grappling with 18-year old freshmen for a parking space at school, finishing a set of push-ups and pull-ups at the gym, or wrestling my daughter to the ground for a bath. Maybe I can teach him all about Sponge-Bob Square Pants? This is again one of those times where things seem too good to be true. The emails we send back and forth would suggest that there is a great interest and curiosity on both sides, and that something really good could possibly come from this!!! His ...
