Have you ever been camping?
I have been camping a couple of times. Okay, when I was a kid, I had been camping many times. As an adult, I have been a couple of times. Camping is fun, but at my age and body issues, sleeping on the floor in a sleeping bag is not happening. Lol
Give me a cabin, and I am in, though. Oh, and indoor plumbing. Yes, in this instance, I am all about the little luxuries. Kitt βΊοΈ
I sometimes think my dogs have it in for me with their farts. I mean, seriously, how can they fart in tandem way too often. And they do it while laying down around wherever I am. So stinky!!!! But I still love their stinky butts!!! Lol
The toe I made today slightly tore around the nail bed. Hopefully, hubby was able to fix it. It’s such a small hole. Sadly, we won’t know till tomorrow.
Besides that, it was a quiet, snowy day.
I am tired now, though, so I am off to bed. Night everyone, sweetest of dreams!!! Kitt βΊοΈ
I wake up feeling like I gave so much to do. Which I do have a lot to do. But at a certain point in the day, my mind goes off line. But not in a quiet way…. No… That would be too nice for me. Instead, it starts randomly jumping from things I need to do that day to things that just need doing to things I gave done to things I have dismissed to needed to be done. It’s like a constant loop. It’s so annoying.
But I digress… lol
I have been getting more things done, though. Or it just feels that way, at least. There is a lot to make before May. But it is already almost done with March. That’s probably why my brain is being this way.
But for tonight, I say good night and hope for sweet dreams for me and you. Kitt βΊοΈ
I also learned that the sea cucumber will also expelled some of its organs when frightened. Then, regrow them. All through their butts that they also breathe out of. Yes, I am a tad obsessed over this, it seems. My hubby is watching something on sea creatures, and they just keep throwing out one-liner facts about the sea cucumber. Being the wonderful giver I am, I am sharing these one-liner facts with you. You are very welcome!!!
Besides the bit of knowledge, today has been basically good. I have just been freezing g all day. I’m not really sure why, but I have been so cold. I admit the wind has been crazy today, but infeel I am colder than the weather calls for. I have wonderful blankets, though, so all is good.
I did remember today why I don’t eat or drink blood oranges. They taste awesome, but my body does not seem to like them. Remembered that the hard way. π π
Took my moster to the FabLab today. He made a 3D Thing Hand. It isn’t stained yet, but I think it looks good, but once stained, it will be awesome.
I will take a picture after hubby stains it. It looks way cooler!
Then, as I am writing this, my son comes down, and Bull does this…
He heard my sons voice and came over to.lay in front of him so he would know he was ready to go out. It was just too cute.
Good night all. Sweetest if dreams!!! Kitt βΊοΈ
I learned an odd fact that I probably never needed to know. It was so shocking I made a post about it. Look up Sea Cucumber on my page. It’s just a little random shocking fact. π² π²
I got 7 of my babies clothed, I will be finishing them tomorrow, and I will take a few pictures.
I tried to print some pictures of my products at work. I never have printed anything in color. The one time I tried, the color printer wasn’t working. Now I need to go to the library and see how much to print the pictures twice. I hope it’s not a lot.
We have fajitas tonight. Chicken, peppers, onions lettice, sour cream, rice, and salsa. It was so yummy!!!!
I am, of course, falling asleep while writing this. Heck, I just had to erase a bunch of ‘u’ since that is where my finger was when my eyes closed. Which they did again. So on that note, good night, sweet dreams, and may your night be filled with smiles π. Kitt βΊοΈ
The base baby is a mold, but I add to it to make it my own to sell. So far, for these, I have added the elf ears. I have made others since this picture to add to them. Four of them have horns, and the others are the simple mold only. After I back them a little while, I will add hats, diapers, blankets, and just different embellishments to male them cuter. π I will take more pictures, hopefully tomorrow.
I saw this advertisement for an app to help a person move more. It’s called Walkfit. Has anyone used it before? If so, could you tell me if it is as low impact as it sounds??? I am thinking of giving it a try.
I want to try it or something that is low impact to help me move a little more. Maybe build up my stamina. With the Renaissance faires coming up, I have to do better. Mostly for me, but also so I don’t over due it there setting up, working, and then breaking down. Plus the drive time for each one, each way. I need to be stronger.
On that note, good night all! Kitt βΊοΈ
Do you ever wonder what your life would have been with different choices while at the same time wondering why you aren’t changing your life now???? Though I would never change the choices in my life because of the family I have, I do still wonder. Then I see where I am, what I have, what I actually want, and realize again that I am no longer 25 like I think I am in my head. Yes, I know it’s a lot to think about. But this is how my mind works in a split second. And I wonder why my head hurts at times. Lol π
I complain a lot about work. I know this. But today, I actually defended a question asked to one of my cohorts by a manager. My cohort thought the question was stupid, and the manager basically just tried to find something to get on her about. Though I agree the manager was probably just trying to be a jerk to the cohort, it was a legitimate question in general. The manager asked if they were doing vault. (Vault has its own office space. 1 of 4 closed off spaces where it is easier to do work).
This is a legitimate question. Technically, if you are not doing vault work, you probably shouldn’t be in the office. But when you have a limited amount of space, you are 1 of 3 employees with a key, and then 4 managers have keys, it is a very good place to get work done. Especially since the HR lady calls you in that office because that’s the easiest place to work. Reality though, no, if you are not doing vault work, you should not be in the vault.
But after many conversations with my cohort, I believe the manager questions not because it was a vault but because she was looking for something to get on her about. But the question itself, I will defend. The reason behind the question is that I find suspicious.
Today was overall good, though. I got crafting done. Helped with dinner, helped a friend, and got to watch The Traitors, UK, yay. Hope your day was good as well. Kitt βΊοΈ
I just had to restart this in the right section. Not the title section.
Today has just been one of those days. Work was basically fine. It was annoying due to the same person as usual but still annoying. She pawns her work off on others and acts like she does it all. I don’t mind helping out, I mind though, when I am told one thing about fixing people’s punches and then told to do it another way. I looked up how we were supposed to do it, and now I am going to do it that way.
We are all over 18 who work there, adults, all of us. I should not be told to go over everyone’s schedule to see if they punched in. You would think people would check before they leave to make sure they are paid properly… you would be wrong. Then these same people have the audacity to complain because their check is wrong. Yet, they also admit they didn’t punch in. Somehow, it is my fault their punch isn’t right. And that, my dear friends of blog-land, is why I am annoyed.
Besides work, the day was fine. I am just feeling run down and so tired. It s partially due to not wanting to work where I do and having that annoying girlie time of the month. It really takes a lot out of me. And lucky me, I work again tomorrow… BOO π π π π
On that note… Night all, I hope you have a great night’s sleep! Kitt βΊοΈ
Decisions are hard. Why can’t life be easy? Sure. Then we would all be bored, but right this moment in my life, I would like easy.
With that said, today was a good day. I got a bit done and made some headway on paperwork I have been putting off.
I am realizing my depression might be flaring up a little more than I thought. But I am doing my best to overcome. Or, maybe I am just being a big baby. It really could go either way.
I can still see the good in things either way. Even if my depression is flaring up a bit more, I can still see light. Just sometimes, that light is a little, very dim.
See always a bright side. Kitt βΊοΈ
Better than yesterday, that’s for sure. I have tonsay, getting a sales tax number in Michigan is a pain in the ass. But I will explain tomorrow. I am tired and really want to go to bed. But I wanted everyone to k ow that today was better. Hope your day was good as well. Night night all! Kitt βΊοΈ
I am very disheartened at the moment. A renaissance faire I was under the impression of being in from last year told me tonight I have been wait listed. We set up there last year. It was our biggest money maker. I wasΒ asked if we were going to be back when we were breaking down last year. We said Yes and smiled and thanked them. This year, they email that theΒ applications are ready, and if we want one, they will send a link to it. I fill it out fast and am excited. Tonight, I get an email saying they appreciate us wanting to be a vendor, but they have limited space, and we have been wait listed. WT actual F. Why did they say that all last year and seem so excited when we said yes. They could have simply said, “Thanks for vending. We will email when the apps are up.”
I feel really bad right this second. I am taking it like they think.our stuff is shit and they don’t want it there. It’s the second place this year to turn us down. The first one wasn’t a big deal to me because they are huge and I am small. I knew the odds were not in my favor. But this, this was presented as a sure thing when we left last year. This one just hurts a lot. Plus, it was the one we did our best at. We made the most money there.
I have decided tonight that I am going to be sad and disappointed and disheartened, and tomorrow, I will rally my positivity back.
Besides that shit-tastic news, the day was mostly good. My hubby finally found a pillow we think might work and help him sleep. I found the molds for my clay babies. (I am not ashamed of using a mold for the base of my clay sleeping babies. I know my skill set, and the base shape and detail of the mold is not is. But I add clothes, blankets, elf ears, hats, and all kinds of things to them.) Tomorrow, I will start working on those and tacking the board so I can paint the dragon’s scales.
Plus, on a food note, I got croissants and have been having the best Sammy’s with them.that always makes me smile. So yummy!!! Even writing that I was smiling thinking about it. So I k ow not all.my positivity is gone right now. Tomorrow will be better.
Hope your day was good and you had a smile or two as well. Kitt βΊοΈ
My hubby had me buy cigarettes yesterday. I am not mad at him, just a little sad because he says he will not be babysat with smoking. I tried to explain it wasn’t me.baby sitting his smoking, it was me trying to help. But he is an adult, and he knows what he is doing and risking. So I bought him his cigarettes. Odd thing, though… they have disappeared. None of us can find them. I checked my car and all over the house and so has he. It’s so weird.
Odd seg-way, but it is so hard to keep going to work. I don’t want to work there. I just want to do our small business. I know so many just go for it. But they don’t all succeed. I know I need to keep this job at least till October. But most of May, July, part of August, and part of September, I won’t be there. So it’s really 3 months and some random days. Uuugggg!!!!! Adulting sucks!!!! At the beginning of October, the season of me traveling is basically done. By then, I will k ow whether our small business will be able to sustain us financially with bills and everything. And I know it isn’t that far off. But it seems so far!!!!
Okay, I am done being broodish! Today was mostly good in general. So that is important. Tomorrow starts the making of way too much stuff, yet, hopefully, not enough too. Lol!!! I will try and take pictures to let you see what I am making. Night all! Kitt βΊοΈ
If you live in America, then you are probably dealing with Daylight Savings Time. I understand why it was so important when Benjamin Franklin brought it about. 5, it is so annoying. I know the farmers still like it, but I hate having to readjust my eating and stuff because of it. My body is difficult enough, but for about a month after the time changed, my body is annoying. It has to get reacostomed to how late I can eat and not get nauseous. Seriously, the struggle is real!
Okay, over that now. Thanks for letting me get that off my chest. Lol π π€£ π
I woke up with such a headache. I was worried it would turn into a migraine. I am surprised it didn’t, but I’m so thankful it didn’t, too. I think it is probably the pressure outside messing with my head. Or I am starting my period soon. Either way it is, they both suck.
I am happy, though. We have an American Chinese fast food place near me. I have wanted it for around six months now. But it is not a cheap place to get food. Since we got our tax return in a.d our state tax in, we splurged for it. I am so happy we did, too. So YUMMY π. Plus, we have dinner for tomorrow, plus I have lunch for at least 2 days. Yay me!!!! Though it cost 45 dollars, it’s a total of 4 meals. To.me, that makes it worth it once in a while. And by, once in a while, I mean, once a year, maybe twice. π π€£ π
Okay, time for me to go night night. Hope everyone had a great day in some form or fashion, sweet dreams! Kitt βΊοΈ
Busy day today, but it was a good day. I got a lot done, and I’m very proud of myself! Got a toe made, painted some dragon scales, mode podged a dragon egg, and finally remembered to go through our crosses we sell. Plus, I took the hubby to ECG testing, and we made dinner.
Those too….
It is so much work but totally worth it in the end.
Now I am getting ready for bed. I woke up early, and now I am just tired. Tomorrow is a slightly more and less busy day so I think that is good too. Hope everyone else had a good day as well. Night and sweet dreams all! Kitt βΊοΈ
Today was a tad busy for me. I made a toe, psinted dragon scales with 2 colors, took hubby to a doctor appointment, made dinner, and most imporatant, didn’t fall asleep in my chair. Yay me!!!
I am very thankful in general usually. I know that karma is real, and we reap what we sow. I must have really done something good. God, karma, whatever you believe in, has been so good to my family this year. I feel so lucky. Lately, I have been extremely grateful and thankful for everything my family has been given.
I know this will be shoking, but I am falling asleep π΄ , with that, I say good night and sweet dreams! Kitt βΊοΈ
I answered today’s writing prompt a while back when I first saw it. I liked it then, and I liked it today.
I had a pretty bad headache most of the day. So much so I barely used my phone. But it’s my own issue. I know I can’t have chocolate and caffeine. But lately I have been having hot chocolate. I knew I was taking a risk by having it, but sometimes, you just want something different. I have been seriously watering the chocolate part down, but i guess not enough. After today, hopefully, I won’t want hot chocolate.
Ant, my youngest, is going to start working on another Genshin Impact design for one of the dragon eggs. We just need to pin the boards and pain the pins. Then, he needs to do the design and then start pinning. So much work. Lol Totally worth it!!!
Have a good night all. Hopefully, I’m getting some resting that will help with the headache. Kitt
Yep, I upset my hubby with my comments about him quitting. He says he is over it, and it is what it is. Which to me means he isn’t over it just doesn’t want to talk about it. What can I do though. I wasn’t being malicious to him, I was acting out of concern and wanting him to succeed. On the other hand, he has a right to his emotions. I just wish he would talk to me about them.
As for the rest of the day, my youngest went for a pretty long bike ride and took himself out to lunch. And when I say took himself out, I do not mean fade foid. He went to a local diner and sat and ate. I love how assured he is of himself.
We talked about the business and price points for most of our items. Luckily, all of us are on the same page with it. Yay… That makes life so much easier.
Personally, I feel like I am struggling a little, and I am not sure why. π I finished all the inventory (okay, 95% of it), and we price point everything. We have a plan for making things. I was excited about all of it. Yet yesterday and today, I just haven’t been in the mood for any of it. I am still doing what needs to be done. But the actual making of items, beyond the toes on my days off, I just can’t get excited about it. I don’t know what’s going on, but I am trying to get through it. Or, at the very least, not let it drag me down completely. It’s hard, though. I will just keep going. Fake it till I make it, as they (whoever they are), says.
I did remember to get the picture of the dragon egg Mt son made with the Genshin fire symbol.
He said he would do the next one a little differently. The red over the light pink would be under it next time. It’s kind of like how fires have different colors that overlap. I think it would be cool too.
I am very proud of myself for remembering the picture finally. Yay me!! Good night all! Kitt βΊοΈ
I know I have said it many times lately, but I so want to.quit my job and just make my side hustle a small business. But I know that is not feasible right this second. It doesn’t stop me from wanting it, though. I just have to remind myself that by the end of September, I will know if this side hustle can be viable or not as a small business. π€
I sometimes wish I had more of an exciting life to write about. Right now, I just don’t. Though I am amazed you wonderful people read my very morning blog, I also understand others need to see that some people aren’t doing amazing things too. Do not misunderstand me, I think everyone is amazing in their own right. That does not mean others see me that way, which means there are other people out there who feel the same. It’s just nice to see that not everyone has it all together.
Yes, that is how I see my life. There is nothing wrong with that either. That is why I say I am a work in progress. It’s just sad at times that progress is very slow going. π π’
Wow, I guess I was more tired than I thought. I literally just realized my eyes were closed. I can’t write my blog post with my eyes closed and my mind bouncing from thought to thought to wait… my eyes are closed when did that happen… again.
Okay, I am going to finish up. Today was good, and I finished almost everything with the inventory of our stuff. Tomorrow, I will go through it all and try to decide about what to make and what to sell where.
Still haven’t taken the egg pi ture. Sadly I just remembered so hopefully tomorrow. Night all! Kitt βΊοΈπ«‘
Wow it is already March. This year is dragging at times and flying by at other times.
Hubby hasn’t quit smoking completely, but he did only smoke 4 cigarettes today. Which is a huge improvement then a normal day. I think for how long he has been smoking, to quit cold turkey is setting himself up to fail. So I am good with him only smoking the 4. Plus he said he didn’t want me buying any, so that will limit him too.
Got through all the dragon eggs finally. I am sorry, I didn’t get a picture of the one my son made with the fire emblem for genshin impact. I will tomorrow. We went through and separated out the eggs that have blemishes in them so I can touch them up. There would probably have been less to touch up if my mom would have packed them right. Oh well, touch ups will happen soon.
Otherwise, today was good. Got a lot done and had a yummy dinner, tacos for my son and nachos for the hubby and I.
Hope everyone had a good day too. Kitt π
Won’t be saying that again any time soon. Lol Happy Leap year, everyone. It’s not really a holiday, sure, but why not. We only get to say it every 4 years after all. Lol
Today was mostly good. Work was basically fine. Again, my management proves they don’t listen. But it’s fine because I fix the issues that cause us to get dinged when walks go through.Β
Hubby’s general practitioner doctors appointment was pretty good. He has a lump they are going to ultra sound. It’s probably nothing, but it’s on his neck and prominent, so we all agree better to be safe.
I got through more of the dragon eggs, only a few left. Will finish it all up tomorrow. My son finished one today with a design on it from Genshin Impact. It’s a video game. It really does look cool. I am going to take a picture tomorrow and will show you. He really has been working hard.
Other than that, it was a pretty relaxed day. I did make homemade tzatzite sauce for the gyros we had for dinner. So yummy!!!! But making it, I realized I have no actual idea how much of stuff I put in it. I tried to explain it to my son so he could make it. But it was funny, to say the least. I even used pictures to try and explain it. He said he understood, I really hope he did.
Now, to have quality adult time with my hubby. Night all! Kitt βΊοΈ
It’s been a good day. I fixed a problem from work that was there a week ago when I left. Mind you, I left instructions on how to fix it, too. But they didn’t. It’s so weird to me how they can let something show there is money somewhere when there isn’t and sign off on it… okay, tangent starting will stop it now. Sorry, I’m back to my good day.
Got more of my inventory sorted and taken pictures of. This time, it was also my hubby’s paintings.
I love his work. He tells me, “At least with the pour painting and spin art, my shocking working in my favor.” At least he sees the positive. Lol π
I wanted to get 5 sales this month on our Etsy store, and today we got the 5th one. Yay!!!
Plus, just to make today even better, I got 500 followers today! I did a post, but I will say it again. Thanks, everyone!!!! You all rock.
See good day all around. Tomorrow will be busy, but I am hoping good too! Night, everyone! Kitt βΊοΈ
I told my husband why I wanted to quit my job today. But I also said why I couldn’t. He proceeded to say, “I will just get a job.” I swear, every time he says that, I just want to smack him silly. He knows he can’t work. That’s part of the issue of why I have so much stress. It’s all on me. For him to make that statement, I feel like he is being a disrespectful ass. I mean, if you could work, why aren’t you? Why is it all on me? But we both know he can’t. Not physically or mentally. I told him how that made me feel, at least. I normally just tell him to shut it.
Besides that, the day wasn’t bad. Had some smiles, watched the movie, One Piece film Gold. It was funny. I have been fighting to stay awake; I feel all day. Night night all! Kitt βΊοΈ
Started going through the dragon eggs today. Wow, we have a few. Plus, the boxes that make sets, so many of the same color. I don’t know what my mom was thinking when she painted so many the same color.
These are the rock eggs they tried for a little. They are cool but not quite what people look for. π€ I still think they should be shown. I am going to put them on Facebook Market place and try to sell them there. I might get lucky.
Hubby had another set of breathing tests today. Luckily, the lady giving them was great he said. She took her time and made sure he understood and used hand signals to help him through the tests. Plus, she allowed for breaks in between the ones she could. Basically, she just didn’t rush him. Which, in turn, made it to where he didn’t passport during the testing like he usually has. Yay, I say!
Today was a good day all around, I think. Hope yours was too. Night all! Kitt
Took my oldest back home today. Normally, it’s a very sad moment all around for me. This time, I was only selfish sad. I am so proud of him. He works hard and is paying all his own bills. He has his own place and friends he hangs out with. That’s why I say I am selfish sad. I just want him home because he is my baby. But I am proud and happy for him more.
It was a long drive, though. 4 hours round trip. Which, in general, isn’t a big deal. But my back is not happy. I will be taking a little advil tonight for the uncomfortableness I am feeling. Otherwise, I worry that I will not get comfortable enough to get some sleep. That would be very sad for me.
On the whole, it was a good day. We stopped at Wendy’s on the way up there for a late lunch/early dinner. I do not see myself going again anytime soon.
I got the biggie bag, which I normally get. It has a burger, fries, 4 chicken nuggets, and a drink. Normally, just the burger and a few fries are enough for me. It used to cost $5. For me, that wasn’t bad because my youngest ate the rest of my food. Today, we found out it went up a dollar. The portion sizes went down, too. I got the JR bacon cheese burger as my burger. The bacon was thinner than my meat. Honestly, I thought they just put cheese and bacon on the bun because I couldn’t see the meat. That old commercial of Wendy’s, “Where’s the beef?” Well, it sure want on my food. And like I said, the bacon was thicker than my meat, and the meat tasted like leather. I am impressed they could get the meat, so thing with out tearing it. Like I sad, very bad for me.
That was the worst part of my day. But one of the high lights was getting the 3 sides sewn on my son’s blanket. I will be hand sewing the fourth side. I am so proud of my oldest for showing me what I was doing wrong. Lol, I hope everyone had a good day, too. Night everyone!Kitt π
I am so happy to have my son here. I have missed him so much. I know we talk on the phone and text, but it’s just not the same.
We had a fun day, I think. We went to the farmers market, did some shopping, and watched One Piece Film, Red. Then hubby and I made dinner. Duck for my hubby and oldest son who is visiting, chicken tenders for me and our youngest son, along with mashed homemade mashed potatoes and peas. So yummy!!!
While hubby and I took care of dinner, the boys played games and hung out. Then, after dinner, hubby and the oldest hung out for a couple of hours. I am glad they took the time to do that. I hate that I have to bring him back home tomorrow. But I am also so proud of him. He makes good money at his job and has friends where he lives.
Now I am going to bed. One, I am so tired. Two, this gives hubby and boys time to watch a horror move. I may like cheesy sci-fi movies, hubby, and boys like horror.
So I am going to go night night and they can watch icky… lol Night all! Sweet dreams! Kitt βΊοΈ
Today was a busy but good day. Got my oldest for a visit for a couple of days. My youngest was so excited. He has really missed his brother.
Ant, the youngest, made his brother play games with him for a couple of hours. It was funny. Not sure Bug, the oldest, actually wanted to play, but he did. He cam be a good nig brother when he wants too.
Then we went out for a while and also had dinner. Then we watched a movie at home. So, all in all, a good day, I think.
Now I am tired and going to go to bed. But yay me, I remembered to do my diary post first. Lol Night, all sweet dreams. Kitt βΊοΈ
Good day all. Hope the day has been good to everyone. Tomorrow, I am picking up my son to hang out with for the weekend. I am so excited. I am also very tired. LOL this not taking a nap thing is great cimuz I get a little more sleep. But annoying because I can barely keep my eyes open.
A little catching up with the last two days along with today…
This last week, I have been going through everything we make and writing out everything we have. I thought we had more stuff but knew we didn’t, yet was still surprised. I am not done going through all of it, but I have finished the hardest part, I think. All the clay things I make. It was a lot, but not too.
See cute stuff with the body parts are made.
We also did some shopping and cleaning. Not a lot of crazy here, but a lot of excitement. I really miss my oldest, so I am excited he is coming.
Have a great night all. I am going to bed now. Night night! Sweet Dreams! Kitt βΊοΈ
I’m not sure if I made it or not. I got sidetracked by my hubby. And he is such a talented sidetracker, too. I am very lucky like that. Lol
I will post more tomorrow, though. I am going to bed now. It was a good day, though. Night all! Kitt βΊοΈ
Friday is getting closer, and then my oldest will be here. Yay!!! If you couldn’t tell, I miss him. He is less than 2 hours away, yet it feels like forever away!
Today was good. Got some Sam’s shopping done. Checked out hobby lobby and hobby lobby for fur and fake leather. Neither had the black I was hoping for in leather and better colors in the fur. Hopefully, they will come in soon.
Otherwise, it’s been a good day. Ant and I finish up to the dubbed part of Wanno in OnePiece. Seeing it in just over a year. Now we have to wait for the dubbed drop to come in a while. So we started Hazbeen Hotel on prime. It is definitely not for kids. It’s not bad, though.
Pretty good day all around. Hope your day was great, too. Night night, sweetdeams!
I’m so excited to get our tax refund. We went crazy today… I took my youngest out to breakfast. That’s our crazy time with the money. I know it probably seems lame to some, but for us, it was crazy. Lol
Did a little shopping and painted the rest of the scales for the dragon egg we are trying to make. Made a list of everything we need to do in the next month so we know what we have and what we still need for the Renaissance faire season. Our first one is May, so we need to get on it.
All around, a very good day. Hope your day was good too. I did do a silly thing today, though. π€ͺ if you have a Walmart near you, have you seen the big stuffed animal bunny peeps. I don’t know why, but I saw this one, and I just had to have it. But reality is, I am 49 and on a major budget to be able to do certain things around my house and live a life beyond the things around my house. So I did the mature thing and hugged it tight, and had my son take a picture of me with it. Now I can always see it.
I love it so much and have no idea why. But I see it, and I just smile. Have a great night all! Kitt βΊοΈ
This is kind of early enough, I have to say, it’s been mostly a good day. My main complaint is the cramping. But considering I used to go 4 to 5 days with this amount of cramping. Just having it one day so far is a huge difference. A very positive beginning in my get health program, I think.
Otherwise, today has been good. I did a bit of relaxing since standing straight was painful. I also watched One Piece with my son. We have 3 more episodes until the dubbed is all out. Then, I will have to wait for the next batch to drop. Have I mentioned I hate waiting???? Lol
Seeing as I am fighting falling asleep since 7, I am going to say good night. If you could see the things I keep deleting because I am slightly asleep. It’s really funny. Sweet dreams all!
Tomorrow will be busy for me.
But I am excited about it. Night all! Kitt βΊοΈ
This day is a commercial holiday that many embrace in many forms. You have your lovers, your anti-valentines day, and people like me who say it but don’t make a big deal out of it. Of course, you also have those who just ignore it. There is no right or wrong way to see this day. Fr those that celebrate in some form or fashion… Happy Valentines Day… for those that don’t… Happy Wednesday
Today, my hubby and I did nothing special for today. We said, said, “Love you,” watched Game of Thrones, and now he is in bed because he wasn’t feeling very well. That’s typical for us. But it isn’t bad.
Besides that, all was good today, too. Son and I hung out and went shopping. We watched One Piece. I will have to post about who we think the Straw Hats would fight within the worst generation to make it a wonderfully interesting match-up. It was a great discussion between us.
Hope your day was good too! Kitt βΊοΈ
Right before I came to bed, I realized that tomorrow is Valentines Day. I was wondering why my hubby was being pushy about what I wanted for dinner. I am not quite sure what I want, but I am sure I will figure it out tomorrow. Lol
I took the other half a sleeping pill yesterday. I woke up a lot better than last time. But I am so tired right now I don’t understand. Hopefully, tomorrow will bring my head even more clarity.
Went out with a friend for lunch. She is also the same friend that got me into Renaissance faires. She informed me today that we are rooming together this season for the faires we do together. Which, in turn, helps us out a lot. She said we did not have to pay anything for the room, but I think that is wrong. If she is doing it to help us save money, but also help herself from having to room with someone else, that I am chipping in for the room. Not half, but at least 100 dollars. I think that is very fair.
Now, I just need to fill out the last application. Find our booth pictures, and get some business insurance. Then we will be good to vend at most faires in general. Yay!!!
There is more, I am sure. But shocking, I am so tired!!! Night night all. Kitt βΊοΈ
I can’t believe I forgot to write this. I literally just remembered. I am sorry. I know I do this for me and am grateful for those who read and comment, but I am still sorry. I have no real excuses. I even thought of it, and still I forgot. I hope you can forgive me. (You being myself and others.) π«€
As for the day itself. It was fine. Joked some with the family. Oldest write and gave his schedule so we could work out a time for him to visit. Youngest and I discussed One Piece and who from the straw hat crew should go against which other worst generation pirates. Okay, we started, and I realized it was 11 pm and I was having a hard time keeping my eyes open, and I stopped him. But that’s not the point. We still talked about 2 crew members. That was mostly it. I will tell you more later. I still can’t believe I forgot. Kitt βΊοΈ
Processing news of my husband’s appointment yesterday was a bit of a thing. Not very poeticly said, but very correctly said. It was a bit of a thing, with lots of thoughts and reactions and everything else. But today, I am as fine as I ever am with his health. Nothing really has changed from the appointment for the most part. And that, that has changed, will only be changed if he sticks to it. That was as clear as mud, wasn’t it. Lol, let me clarify a little for you.
He had a lung doctor appointment yesterday. I had to make him make the appointment. I did a post on it if you want to look it up. Basically, I made him make the appointment. In this appointment, the normal was said, “Stop smoking, use your breathing medications.” All the same. This time, though, there was more.
The doctor told him that the black spot in his lung would most likely turn cancerous if it wasn’t already. (The test he needs, medicaid won’t pay for because he is too young and the other tests don’t show the area properly.) He hasn’t had a scan in over 2 years so as far as the doctor knows it hasn’t grown in two years. He has different appointments for different scans, x-rays, and breathing tests. All within 3 months.
The doctor also told him that he is either going to need a transplant or a rebuild of his lung. (My hubby said the right word, but it meant rebuild basically.) To qualify for anything, though, he has to stop smoking for a minimum of 6 months to be considered for the programs. This information my hubby didn’t tell me before, but the doctor has mentioned it. This time, though, hubby has taken him seriously. He has a little bit of tobacco left and said he is going to make it last S long as he can. Then he is going to try and not ask me to buy it for him.
(Before you say it, I know I am not helping him by buying it, but you don’t live here and don’t live my life. I am a fir. Believe that if you are of age and can pay your bills, then you have to live with the repercussions. Basically, he knows what he is giving up by smoking.)
The fact he actually told me this time and asked me not to buy them is a bug step for him. Hopefully, this visit, how low his oxygen has been, and how often he has had to use his oxygen machine is opening his eyes. Maybe he is ready to make a change. That is my hope. It is all I can do. I love him. He knows it. Now he just has to choose to live. I can’t donthat for him.
See, that’s why I had to process. Sorry so long.
As for the rest of the day today, I did a little shopping. Figured out the rest of the hotels for the faires we want to do. The cost wasn’t as back as I worried. It’s not great, but not bad.
Tomorrow, our son and I will talk with him. About the faires we want to do and why. Then, make a decision to fill out the rest of the forms.
I have been watching good bad movies. And bad bad movies. Lol πΒ I will tell you about them later, though. This is long enough all ready. If you actually read the whole thing, thanks for hanging in there. If you didn’t or just skimmed, I don’t blame ya. ππππ
Have a great night all! Sweet dreams! Kitt βΊοΈ
Did a pinky toe to finish out the earrings. I think they should be one of the best baby toe pair.in a few days, I will know.
Worked on the hotels for Jackson, niles, and I am working on the faire for July. Then, the only one left will be clayshire in September. I will let you know the totals tomorrow.
Now I am going to bed. Tomorrow I will give an update about my hubby and his doctor appointment. Now, shockingly, I am very tired. Night all! Kitt βΊοΈ
Yesterday, I was so tired when I wrote my diary post. If you haven’t noticed a running theme lately, it is that I am so tired. The doctor gave me pills for it. Let me backtrack a little.
I don’t sleep well. That is why I am so tired. The doctor and I agree it is also probably why my brain never feels like it shuts off but also never allows for a full coherent thought. We both agreed that sleep.would help.a lot with that. Because of this, the doctor prescribed a pill. It is a very low dose that I actually split in half to take.
Back on track…. I took fast night and slept 5 hours sold. And I mean my hubby could have jumped on the bed, and I wasn’t waking up. Honestly, that’s really creep to me, but we aren’t talking about that right now. Then I fell back to sleep for a couple of hours. Seven hours all together is a heck of a lot of sleep for me.
Down side, my head felt like it had a weight on it for about 2.5 hours after I woke up. I just really wanted to close my eyes again. Not to sleep, just to block everything out. I really hate that feeling. But at least it was only a couple of hours. Now I need to decide if I am going to take them again. I know I need more than one night of sleep to help me focus my thoughts and hopefully quite or slow them down a bit.
I hate taking anything, really. It’s great to keep a person off drugs. it’s not so great to help a person, though. Lol
Delmas of my sleep deprived self. Should I shouldn’t I take one tonight and risk not being clear-headed enough to take my hubby to his lunch appointment. I would be taking it much sooner than last night, which means my heavy head wouldn’t be as late in the day. But that is based on one night of taking the pill. Uuugggg delemas.
Besides that. My day was fine. I mostly figured out how much I would be spending on hotels for the six weekends I am think of doing faires of some kind. It would be for a total of 11 days inthink. The cost is 1200ish dollars. That’s a lot of money. At least for me it is a lot of money.
Otherwise, I am mostly lazy today. I will be making up for it the next two days, though.
That’s basically my day. Just lazy. Hope your day was good. Good night all! Kitt βΊοΈ
I barely slept last night. Made going to work and meeting up with Di for lunch. Though going out with Di was total worth the sleep. Now, i am just going to go to bed in about 15 minutes.
Now what’s really funny..
I have to keep reopening my eyes to fix l what I typed. So on that note…
Good night all! Have great wonderful dreams. Kitt βΊοΈ

I wrote out the first 3 places I wanted to set up this year. The first is a bike blessing, the second is a brand new renassance faire, and the third is a fair we have done the last 2 years. I really want to do the ones we haven’t.
The bike blessing is a great way to see how a bike week would be. The new renassance faire is in a new area and will have all kinds of so the crouds should be great. Niles is small but has been a reliable money maker.
The parts that make the three questionable all together. It’s not really negative, but what makes me think whether or not I can do them. They are all in May. The first, third, and fourth weekend. The total cost to set up at all three is $240. But because of how far they are from my house we will have to get a hotel for each one. The hotels as they stand will be about $1000. This already brings the cost of the three fairs to $1240. That does not include gas, food, or product. We would have to make, between the three, $3000. That’s a lot of money to have to make. That’s why the three in May, they have me questioning whether we can do them or not. We are going to talk about it as a family tomorrow.
Besides that, it was a good day. I made chicken and dumplings for dinner. We all joked around and hung out a little. Son and I watched the 1000th episode of One Piece. It was great. Sadly, there are only 48 episodes left that are dubbed. I don’t watch unless they dubbed. It’s hard to read the TV and watch.
Hope you are having a great day, too!!! Kitt βΊοΈ
Happy Birthday Di!!! You are only as old as you feel. It’s a joke between me and Di.
Today was a good day. No work beyond making a toe. Did some paperwork. Looked up some faires I am interested in doing this year. Hubby and I went out for our anniversary dinner. I got my present from him. Got to love adult toys. Came home and watched a little TV and now getting ready for bed. The icing on the cake, as it were, we sold 2 toes today. Yay. I was hoping to sell 4 this month, and the two today made it 5. Yay!!!
Hope everyone else had a good day, too. Night night all! Kitt βΊοΈ
I literally fell asleep while I was typing my last post. But I had to write and complain about the little bitty raise I got.
Other than that, it was a fine day. I am just ubber tired. So I am going to bed. Night all. My the sweetest of dreams. Kitt βΊοΈ
Happy Anniversary to my wonderful husband. We have been together for 24 years. That’s a pretty long time, I think. It hasn’t always been good. In fact, a couple of times, it has been down right hard. Yet, every night, we say I love you and give each other a kiss. We don’t go in for that, ‘don’t go to bed mad’. We do believe in saying I love you and giving the other a kiss, though. We have worked through our issues and are still together. We also know that there will be more issues. But we also agree to work them out. Marriage is hard. A good marriage is even harder. But it is totally worth it when you love someone. (Yes, I know love isn’t always enough.)
Today, we didn’t do anything wild and crazy. Honestly, we didn’t do much of anything at all. My son and I did some shopping for basics. My hubby relaxed and used his oxygen. We had leftovers for dinner. We simply spent time together. Next year, we will probably do something. Lol π π€£
Hope everyone had a good day as well. Kitt βΊοΈ
Happy Birthday!!!! To my wonderful oldest son. I still find it amazing that he turned 22 this year. He has grown into such a great young man. I am so proud of him.
A little recap of yesterday…
A lot of ice feel off our house. So much so that we were surprised nothing broke. It shook the house something crazy.
Hubby said the piece he put his foot on was easily 100 pounds. And that is just a piece of what fell. I will be putting up the other pictures under the post labeled picture time 1-25-2024.
I made such a yummy dinner yesterday, too. Beef stroganoff from scratch. It is a super simple recipe, but it tastes so yummy!!! I will post that probably tomorrow, though, under recipes.
The reason for the recap today, easy, because my hubby and I were having adult fun last night. But at least I still have something posted for my daily. Barely, but I did it. Lol What can I say? My husband is talented, and I am thankful for how much he enjoys giving.
And for today….
Today was a good day, too. Made pancakes for dinner. It is my son’s birthday today and we talked for almost 2 hours. Got a lot of my paperwork done. Best of all, I got my tax return filed. It’s not a ton, but it is a refund, so I am happy.
Hubby hasn’t been great today, though. I guess we overdid it last night. I am happy he has his lung doctor appointment soon.
I have decided my dogs are trying to gas me out. Someone, please explain how a dog can fart so loud without butt cheeks. I don’t really need it explained. Lol
I am going to bed soon. Night night all. Sweet dreams! Kitt
As I am getting ready to write this, my cohort at work messaged me saying crazy day and asking if I am still awake. So I asked what was up. I can’t wait to find out. I will let you know if it is good crazy, crazy crazy, or bad crazy. But until he writes back, I shall make my post.
Today was warmer than it has been, which I am happy about, but it was also rainy, icy, and dreary. Ant, my son, and I did some shopping and then came home. He is such a good kid. He actually likes hangout and going shopping with me. And if he doesn’t he at least fakes it well. Lol
Hubby had a good day. He didn’t need oxygen at all. That, to me, is a good day for him.
For me, it was a good day as well because I got to hang out with my son. Had a mini home date with a movie with my hubby, and I got to read. All great things. π
So my cohort wrote back. He asked if I could maybe work Thursday for him. I said probably, but I couldn’t tell him till tomorrow morning. Mostly because I need to tell my hubby first. It’s the polite thing to do. But since I am only working 2 days this week, I should work for him. Eight hours is not enough. So, I will be telling him yes, but like I said, politeness and respect have me talking to my hubby first.
He literally just messaged back and said his dad, who is in his late 80s, had an accident. I offered to work tomorrow so he could go over to their house sooner. I hope his dad is alright.
I literally just realized I was writing like I was talking and explaining. See, this is yet another reason why I like blogging. I can just put it out there.
Since I might be working tomorrow now, and I have to be there at 430am, I am going to bed now. Night all, sweet dreams. Kitt
A little morning video of the light snow before it really started coming down.
This was before it started snowing harder. You know, right before I went out to clear my driveway and car to go to work. Luckily, my son got up and helped me. With his help, it only took 28 minutes. I am truly blessed with my son.
At work, a lot of people called in. I know it was a bit of snow and below freezing, but I got up knowing this and let extra time for it. I don’t understand how these others didn’t. One guy I knew he would be calling in. He walks, and at less than freezing, he doesn’t need to walk to work. Plus, management knows and said they understood when he talked to them about it. So that is a known issue. To me, if management knows, then he shouldn’t get in trouble. Otherwise, work was fine. It’s boring as all get out. But it’s good all the same. π π€£ π
At home, all was good, too. My hubby and son cleared the driveway before I got home. That was awesome. I got a mini nap. It was mini because I made homemade pizza. I made the dough, not store bought, and each of us had our own toppings. I have to say, one of the best batches I have ever made. So totally yummy!!!!
I know my life isn’t exciting, and I appreciate all who read my boring life. I love my life most days, though. I have my husband and one son at home. My other son is living his best life and taking care of himself. I just wanted to say thank you for reading my blog and sharing your thoughts at times.
Have a great night all! Sweet Dreams!!! Kitt βΊοΈ
My hubby just bugged me, but the bugging was to make sure I was awake while sitting and watching TV. I was awake, just barely. Lol, so now I am getting ready for bed. I went to plug my phone in and went, wait must post my daily. But what’s important, I remembered, yay me. Lol
Yep, that says it. But what’s worse… the next couple of days’ highs are lower than lows. For example, right now, it is 22 degrees. But when my alarm goes off, it shows it will be 19 degrees, and when I leave work at 11am, the weather app shows 15 degrees. So even the highs aren’t highs. And Monday and Tuesday are even worse. So sad!!! π π π
Today was still a good day, regardless of freezing. I woke, got out of bed without falling (yes, that is a possibility for me), the dogs let my go to the bathroom without whining right away. That is always a good start.
In general, though, the day was good because I didn’t have to go anywhere. Tomorrow I have work. Luckily, it is Sunday, so I don’t need to be there till 6:45am. Since I will have to dig out and clean off my car before I can go, it is nice to have a late start.
Hope your day was good, or at least you found a smile. Sweet Dreams all!! Kitt βΊοΈ
And if I wasn’t already in bed, I would do a happy dance. I have had this blog for 1 year now. Thanks, word press, for telling.
I am impressed I stuck to it. It hasn’t always been easy, but it’s been way satisfying.
I am realizing the weather is making me fight my depression more, which means I haven’t done nearly enough of the business stuff as I should. So,
I have decided to try and work through it. It is not easy, but I will do it. I will not allow my depression to get so bad that I can barely function most times.
My best news for the day is I got 3 years of city taxes done and paid for. Plus, the nice lady there was very helpful and made the experience a good one. How often can you say that about paying any taxes. π
Hope everyone else had a smile today as well. Kitt βΊοΈ
Wow, one whole year of blogging. Way to go me!!! I started this with Di, I miss doing this with her, but I understand that with the issues that came up, it wasn’t feasible for her anymore.
It isn’t always easy to post every day, even with the daily prompt, but I made myself a promise to, and I have kept it. Even if I have only made it with a minute to spare.
Posts may not be the most exciting, but they are honest. I am doing my best here and in my life. Because of that, I feel that being honest and true here is important. Silly, sad, scared, mad, they are all emotions I feel and believe in sharing.
Life is what we make of it. Every day, I am trying to do better. Thank you, everyone, for coming along on my journey. Hope I entertain at least a little! Kitt βΊοΈ
