I don't hear no old man snoring.

It's raining. I was wondering why it felt like I had been online forever, but it wasn't getting any lighter outside. Do you know what this does to my want of being productive? Am I the only one that would rather curl up in a blanket, in my freezing apartment, and read a good book when it's raining...maybe drinking some coffee? Probably not, but I AM probably one of the few people that would let that happen when there is work to be done! I mean I'm going to have to strike getting my car cleaned up off the list because nature couldn't control itself today. Or at least be kind to me. What to do? I do have half an hour before I NEED to hop in the shower, and then head over to JC's work. Oh, how I wish I could sit in the bar and eat a bowl of Southwest Chicken Chowder. That would make this rainy day perfect! Hmmm...maybe I will. Just a cup of it maybe...

Shit! This means I also have to strike off cleaning my patio! It is covered, but not that much, and wet leaves are a lot harder to sweep up! This is so typical. It really happens every time. I skip class, and then it never fails that I promise I will go everyday and I really really NEED to be there...then I actually do get sick or Gabby does, or something. So, I start psyching myself up to get stuff done...feel like I might actually do it...after putting it off forever...then it rains...and three things on my list get automatically taken off. Warn your children. This is what happens with a procrastinating mind...and what happens if you don't take care of your own issues...like depression.

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...

Just so you know...my computer is sitting here, on the floor, next to me...at my parent's house!!! Woo Hoo! I've taken the first step in getting it fixed...but alas, there it sits...I'm not the only slacker in the family! Also, I turn 30 in less than 20 days...

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...
