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.

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...

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...

Constant Construction

I don't know how non-ADD brains, non-anxiety riddled bodies handle living in this type of chaos, but I can tell you that with ADD and anxiety, this construction chaos paralyzes me.  All I want to do is run away and travel instead of just buckling down and getting it completed.   It's been years of living in some sort of disarray.  That hole in my ceiling has been an ongoing project for nearly 10 years.  Something my estranged husband was supposed to handle, but never did.  So, I hired a guy from Thumbtack, who got the job done, eventually.  He could definitely strengthen his time management skills.   Big changes coming for this room.  Change is slow to come in this household, but I still hold out hope everyday that it will speed up.
