I really want to hit something!

Gabby and I used to have this hamster...Hammy. He died. He was very, very noisy! He was out in the living room, but you could hear him running in his wheel or biting his cage all night long.

I love to have my ceiling fan going full blast...even during the winter. Air circulation. That's what it's all about.

So, lately, my ceiling fan has become increasingly louder and louder. Making rumbling, shaking noises. It makes it really hard to sleep. Especially in the wee hours when I want to hit snooze for another 15 minutes.

This morning I got up and went to investigate. It was no big deal really. The glass encasing for the light bulb was just loose. So, I tightened up the screws, and VOILA! FIXED!

That was about an hour ago. And, now it has come loose again, and is making the most horrendous noise. Oh, yeah, the point about Hammy is that that is what the ceiling fan sounds like. It sounds the Hammy is back, and running full force in his wheel, right in my room! I can't take it!!!

I'm going to try tightening again. It's one of those noises that just makes you cringe!

Miraculously, I wake up the this morning and most of the fruit flies are gone! WEIRD! Where did they go? There are still some in the kitchen, and a random one or two in the bathroom, but what happened to the swarms? That's a little scary. It does look like it's going to rain. Maybe that has something to do with it? Who knows. Not that I'm not happy they're gone, but I would like to know where they migrated to, and if they're coming back. I want to be prepared. I have doused them with so much pledge that my kitchen and bathroom floor are so slippery I have almost fell a hundred times.

Just hanging out today. Taking a break from looking for jobs. I might hang up some laundry, clean out my car, tan, gym, nap...who knows...but OH! I will get the dust vacuumed off of my ceiling fan. I had no idea it was there until I turned it off to fix it. You would think that with how fast it's going that it would repel that stuff, but nope! It's caked on. Who knew?

Tonight is karaoke. A chance to spend some time with JC, and watch his cute little butt sing, and then get made fun of or yelled out for paying too much attention to each other.

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...

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...

What is up?

Whew! I made it to my parent's house for once. My computer is still down, but it is my fault for not bringing it over to my dad's to get it fixed. It's kind of nice though to not always be so worried about checking my email or what not. I've been pretty busy. I was working my usually seasonal job for the last three weeks. Halloween happened, of course (pictures coming), and I've been interviewing like crazy. I'm going to be looking into temp jobs this week. I got a call from one, and she was going to put me into this once company that I've put in like 12 applications for. So, it might be easier for me to just find a temp-to-hire job. At least then I'll be relatively done with this whole interview crap. I don't even get nervous anymore...I just hate it. I'd rather sit in a bath tub full of frogs. Ok, maybe not that, but something else just as painful... I seriously had a blog written up in my head every single day for the last few wee...
