Crud

Broken. Everything is broken and falling apart.

First, I bought a new TV in April (ok, my dad gave it to me as a Mother's Day/Birthday present). I have been VERY happy with the new TV. I have shrugged off flat sceen, fancy, new TVs for years, but I finally gave in because I knew it would make P-Dub happier to watch TV in my room...or anywhere in my house. I only got a 22". It was $250 for a Phillips, and it was just too good to be true. In fact, we asked the sales person why it was only $250 when the Best Buy name brand, Dynex, was more. He couldn't give us an answer. Actually, I think he tried to give us some line about because it was brand new, energy efficient, and the economy was bad. Whatever, we took it and ran. Turns out they had marked it with the wrong price. P-Dub went back the next day and it was actually $350. But you get what you pay for! The damn thing is broken! It keeps flickering and then it has a big green line across it. And of course I can multi task all damn day at work, but the minute I need to do something at home or be organized, this damn ADHD won't let me do anything! (Trust me, I'm not using it as a cop out...my organizing and cleaning and whatever else skills get worse and worse and I can now see all the triggers and instances). So, I haven't taken the TV back to Best Buy, yet.

Sunday...the stupid dryer breaks. I had a load of towels in the dryer and ALL my work clothes in the washing machine. I have been hanging clothes on every piece of furniture, shower rack and whatever else you think of to get everything dry.

And...the TV in the living is breaking. It keeps flickering too. But only when there's a lot of movement in the room. Like if the radio is on in my room.

What have I done about all of it? Nothing so far.

Gabby has been at her dad's for two weeks and I've missed her like crazy. I picked her up today and took her to my parent's because she is now spending two weeks with them in AZ and CO. She looks so much older than two weeks ago. She looks like a junior higher. It makes me want to ball my eyes out. AND...have more babies.

This past weekend P-Dub and I went with my Carolyn and Scott to a driving range. I hit a couple of balls but my lower back was killing me, so I sat around with Carolyn drinking beers and letting the boys hit the damn balls.

I never give myself enough time here anymore and I never blog enough. I'm always cramming things into one damn post. Time for bed.

I'm confused. I thought you were on meds for your ADHD?
Confused about what?

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...

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...

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.
