Out Damn Spot!

I'm trying extra hard not to focus on the negative today, which is definitely a very hard thing to do with a list of things going on like this:

1. Gabby has detention after school today. I'm no angel, but I NEVER had detention or went to the office or even had in school suspension...NOTHING!

2. Seriously, I'm not being overdramatic...and this is very hard to say...I've known my relationship with my best friend has not always been healthy....but I think I have finally realized that it might actually verbally abusive...towards me. I'm trying to sort out my boundaries and figure out where to go from here...

3. I'm not the most decisive person, but I'm not a perfectionist either...so, if you told me to pick you up some dinner from Wendy's...I would probably know basically what you like, etc. and I would just get it. If you didn't like what I got? Oh well, that's your problem. This is getting to the point that P-Dub drives me insane with his indecisiveness, perfectionism and non-leadership skills. If he goes to get food, first I get a text about what I want to drink, then I get a text about this and a text about that....when the whole point of him picking up the food was to let me chill for a second!!!!!!!!!!! ARRRRRRRGGGGGHHHHH!!!!!!!!!! Just venting...

4. I think I have a Corneal Ulcer again. Meaning my contact has scratched or made a little tear on my cornea. Going to the doctor in a few minutes to have it checked out. This is pretty serious and can make someone blind. The last and first time I had one...the doctor opened up the office every morning over Thanksgiving for me to come in....it was that or be hospitalized. Ugh.

5. I have to pick Gabby up from detention at 5. I don't get off work till 4:45...I will just barely make it...if I do at all, but nope....there's no hope that I will be allowed to leave even 5 minutes early today...even though I've done 37 minutes of over time this pay period.

So....I'm going to focus on different things...like:

1. Nothing, and I mean NOTHING, except some free movies tickets, was taken from my purse when my car was broken into! Woo Hoo! No standing in lines trying to get a new driver's license, etc.

2. My friend Becky has taken the most beautiful pictures of our pregnant friend Joy that I will post later.

3. It's almost a 3 day weekend!!!

Oh...and because Gabby's getting harder to control...she has punishment coming her way...called work! I was going to send her to her dad's for the month of June so I would save daycare money, but there are too many bad influcences there...so, it looks like she'll be staying with my mom during the weeks and going to work with her everyday! To Work! Having to get up at 6am! On her summer vacation! This actually makes me happy! Kind of sick, huh?

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...
