I have cysts on my toes.

Yep. Cysts. I started out with one cyst on my middle finger knuckle on my hand. Then one on my left big toe. I had the one on my hand removed. It has now grown back. The one on my big toe got bigger and bigger...and a couple of more showed up. When they put me on steroids for my tonsils they kind of went away. Now they're back with a vengence. There's LOTS of them! JC says they look like crunchy peanut butter under my skin. The weird thing is that the skin that's on top of them gets all purply and red depending on my body temperature. This is freaking me out a little bit. What if it's cancer? The foot dude wanted to take them out, but I don't have 6 weeks right now to be without the use of my foot. I kind of need it to walk down the isle at Jessica's wedding for one. So, I didn't think it would be a big deal to wait a while because the tests they did on the one removed from my hand said it was nothing. I just figured this was the same kind of thing since they all showed up at the same time on only the left side of my body. I wish my webcam was working so I could show you. It's kind of gross. I just hate looking at it. It's not really all that painful until I wear certain pairs of shoes. I don't know...what do you think...should they stay or should I get rid of them?

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 ...
