Here's how I've decided to work this.

I'm going to keep this blog...Que?...public. I really hate censoring anything I write, and I hate "hiding" anything I write, BUT I have really important stuff that I badly want to share...and publicly can't. SO...I'm going to be making my other blog, True Romance?, email invite only (seems fitting since this is all about love anyway!). I sent out the emails already. If you usually read and I somehow forgot you or don't have your email address...send me a reminder at gara_tx23@yahoo.com

I'm still feeling pretty yucky. I was fighting something off all week, and then Friday morning it just hit me like a ton of bricks. My lungs feel much better! MUCH! I was having stabbing pains when I coughed. When I saw the doc he said he was going to give me an antibiotic and something for my congestion. I figured it was going to be some kind of Robotusin or something. But, no. I pick up the prescription and it's called Hydromet generic for Hydocan...hmmm...I'm thinking Hydromet sounds like Hydrocodone which equals Vicodin. Which, if you read this when I had tonsilitis...NOT GOOD FOR ME! I had a little issue with liquid Vicodin. So, I looked it up. Sure enough this stuff is half hydrocodone. But, it's not like I can get another prescription of it. As sad and sick as it sounds...I'm enjoying it. I haven't felt this calm in a looooong time.

Anyway...feeling better, but my allergies are kicking in on top of feeling sick today. Mountain Cedar...the only thing I'm allergic to, is soooo high in SA right now.

Gabby was home for the first time in a long time this weekend, and that kind of sucks for her since I haven't been able to do anything except sleep. I really wanted to play our new Wii with her. I LOVE the Wii. Even if you aren't into video games...you MUST get a Wii! Sooooo fun! Andrea, Kelly, and I played for 7 hours last weekend. Bowling and Laser Hockey are my favorites so far!

I realized when I was setting up the privacy for the True Romance? blog that I had my comments turned off to anonymous viewers. I didn't know this was going on, and I know I have some readers that aren't bloggers, so I have now turned this off. Feel free to comment away!

I am so excited that you invited me! I don't think I ever read the other blog! Just sent you some really LONG comments, so be prepared for some extra reading!

OH...I know you had sent me some emails about the "GoodReads" but maybe you should send them to my girlfriend Missi. She's the avid reader in this household! Her email is: mwoodsa@yahoo.com I'll let her know to look for them. She's into thrillers, so if you have any suggestions, definitely let her know! Thanks, Liz!

Ok, I'll definitely do that. Even though I haven't been reading a lot lately.

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 ...
