How's it goin'?

I actually went to the gym two days in a row. Thought Ray Ray the Killer was literally going to kill me yesterday. Sevently-five squats! How dare he!? I went once last week and then laid low because every time I get on the treadmill I get a blister right at 20 minutes in. I think I've figured out the problem. My right foot is at least 1/2 an inch smaller than the left one. I blame this on Gabby. After she was born my feet went from a size 10 to an 11, but the right one never really caught up and is really a size 10 1/2. BUT...I found these:

They're amazing. I hit 20 minutes today and no blister, so I kept on going, and made it to 30! At the end of 30 minutes my heel was starting to hurt though. I think it was slipping a little. New Balance, the store where I always buy my tennis shoes, will let you order your shoes in two different sizes. I'm thinking about doing it. Ray Ray the Killer keeps making fun of me for it though. He says my left foot will look like I have a clown shoe on. "Settle all that down!"

Everything else is crazy, but I tend to thrive in crazy and get depressed and anxious when I'm bored. I'm pissed off at a lot of things at work. Mostly just people, but I'm applying for a new position. Turning in my resume tomorrow...at the same company. I'm having serious friend drama. It's hard having a triangle friendship. I'm talking about Andrea, Kelly, and me...it's really hard...and very reminiscent of Andrea, JC, and me. Trios in friendship just don't seem to work. But I love having as many girls in my life as I do right. Although Becky and Joy went to Fredericksburg this weekend and didn't invite...guess I've said no or flaked out too many times.

My cats are crazy...my daughter is a pre-teen who has decided out of the blue she wants to play the violin in orchestra next year in junior high. Wait! REREAD! YES...I said JUNIOR HIGH!!! Weird.

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...
"He's Just Not THAT Into You" Sheesz...did someone really need to write this book? Why couldn't women just be left alone in their lonesome deceiving torture upon themselves. No, really...seriously...we like not knowing the truth and playing games with our own minds. What will we have to talk about with our friends if we can't say, "What do you think he meant by this?" If everytime you have to question a man's motives or make excuses for him, and the answer to everything is simply, "He's just not all that into you"...there will be no glimmer of hope...none whatsoever...a girl won't even be able to fool herself into thinking that she can ever possibly find someone. I know I know I know...the truth hurts, and the truth also sets you free...but you'll have to be very secure in yourself and not prone to beating yourself up in order for the truth to really set you free...otherwise the truth only makes it harder to move on. So, thi...
