Busy,

Work has been crazy busy so far this week. Last weekend was pretty busy, too. Gabby spent the weekend at her dad's. They always have a big "to do" about Easter, so it was probably a lot more fun for her over there.

Thursday night I had dinner with this guy I've been dating. Not just some guy. The guy I've been dating. For the purposes of this blog he will be known as P-Dub because I can't say his name. Then we spent the rest of the evening here at my apartment.

Woke up Friday and hung around here. Then I met up with Andrea and had delicious Steam Pots at Joe's Crab Shack. Came back here when she had to go back to work. P-Dub and I did some driving around and browsed through Best Buy and Rooms-2-Go. Then headed out to dinner with his mom, stepdad, sister, his sister's girlfriend, his uncle, and his uncle's girlfriend. We had Vietnamese. I got freaked out. P-Dub was smart and got Pho...which looked delicious. I tried in in VA and really liked it, except the meat freaked me out. But then again, most Asian meats freaked me out. But the meat in his Pho looked pretty decent. My Lemongrass chicken on the other hand...tasted delicious, but freaked me out. We went back to his mom's house and just sat around laughing.

Saturday we woke up and lounged around again. He won't home to clean out the garage, and I went to dinner with my family for Easter. Outback...yummy!

Andrea is the faculty advisor for a theatre group at UTSA, The Bargain Basement Players. They were putting on a show Saturday night, so P-Dub and I met up with Andrea for that. Had a glass of wine at this really cute place, Pam's restaurant, and then watched the play. It was really good for local, college theatre. I know Andrea was super proud of them.

I was supposed to meet up with some friends from high school later that Saturday night, but the play took longer than expected, and I didn't really drive downtown, so Andrea, P-Dub and I met up with Andy at Coco Beach and had a very chill night sitting outside, talking, having some drinks. And then we called it a night.

I was very lazy on Sunday, and kind of needed that. I slept for a very long time. Picked up Gabby kind of early, and that was that.

Now, I need another vacation!!! I feel like packing my bags and scooting off for the weekend every weekend ever since Gabby, Andrea, and I drove to the coast. There are tons of little weekend places around San Antonio, but money's a problem...time's a problem. And, well, P-Dub's such a planner and organizer it's hard to be spontaneous.

I'm going to get another Mystic tan tomorrow...wish me luck.

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.
