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 ☺️
Let me start with reminding everyone how much I hate walking. Hiking… Good…Walking… Bad…
With saying that…
Yay, the weather is nice enough for hubby and I to take a walk at night again. Our son even joined us. Yay!!! It wasn’t a long walk. We just went around the block. And yes, by the time we were done, my knee was sore again, but so what. We got to start our walks again. I was careful, and after resting it for about 15 minutes after we got back.my knee was fine again. 🙂 I really hope the weather holds now so we can keep walking. I know it’s good for me mentally and physically, and I believe it helps my hubby, too.
On to other things of the day. It was so pretty out today. Spring is an awesome season, that’s for sure.
On to a more serious note….
Today, I realized I have a l9t of thinking to do. It is one of these thinks where you have to do it alone. You think you want to tell others and have a conversation, but once it starts, you realize you need to figure things out without others’ input. This is where I struggle, though. I am very open in many ways, but talking a little today, I realized I really need to just think things through for myself. I know that sounds ominous, but it’s nothing bad, just personal life obstacles I need to decide on. We all have them and the choices we need to think about.
On to a more fun topic… okay, fun is a strong word for those who don’t like or see the need, in crafting, but fun for me. I didn’t get a lot done today. But I did get more dragon scales painted. This way, tomorrow, Ant (My son) can start pinning the next dragon egg in the Genshin Impact series he is doing. One hundred more scales need to be done, but I will finish those tomorrow. Plus, I am thinking about trying to make clay voodoo dolls. Just cutie ones, not real ones. But we will see.
Wish me luck tomorrow with the insurance issues I have been having for our business. Tomorrow, we get the one company straightened out, and the insurance will be good, or I am calling until I find a company and a good rate!
Some days are just harder than others. Today was a down day for me. I didn’t sleep well. I woke up sad and overwhelmed. I have felt off all day. I truly believe it’s because of all the issues we are having in getting this insurance for the chalet. Thought it was all taken care of, then yesterday find out it was not. The company said they would call back the same day, but they did not. It is just so much. I think today it just all hit me really hard. 😕
This is true, and I know it. But sometimes, it’s hard all the same. But I keep trying to fight through. 😤
Besides all that, I got a few things done, so that was good. I did post some pictures of the finished clay tombstones under picture time 4-13-2024 if you want to check them out.
I am going to try and sleep away the down feeling. Tomorrow, I start on the welbutrin. I hope it starts to help sooner rather than later. But I will take what I can get. Kitt ☺️
I am told I have insurance, but they just need to finish one thing before they can send me my policy. But you know they took my money already. So now the soonest I can get the keys to the chalet is Monday. 😔
I know Monday isn’t far away. But I feel if you take my money, then I should be able to use what I bought. In this case, it is an insurance policy for my business. Is that really touching to ask for????
Besides that, my knee feels better today than it has been the last few days. There are still a lot of the snap crackle and pop.
Ant and I finished part 5 of Jojo’s Bizzar Adventure. For this being his least favorite in the monga, he seemed to find the anima much better. I enjoyed it as well. We will be starting part 6 soon.
On the note, i am fighting to stay awake. I have already dosed off once. Thanks, Bull, for whining in my ear and waking me up to finish writing this. I will be off the bed soon. Night night and sweet dream! Kitt ☺️
You read that right. Yesterday, I took the day off for the most part. I talked with hubby and tried to help with his freak out about the little shop we are trying to get. Thought we worked some stuff out. Sadly, it wasn’t as much as I thought. But it’s okay. One of his issues was settled today because though I took yesterday off, today I got us insurance!!!! And at a much better rate than we were being quoted. Yay!!!
Tomorrow, I will call the woman and set up a time to see her so we can pay her and do the rest of the paperwork and get our keys. Then we can go into the little shop and start cleaning and mapping out how we want to set it up. Yay!!!!
Besides that today…. son and I did a little shopping, and since then, my knee had been kind of sore. Tomorrow I have work so I will need to be careful. I am going to bring one of my crutches in case it becomes too much. I just think that’s a good idea.
Past that, my day has been good. Now I am getting ready for bed. Night all. Kitt ☺️
Where I live, the eclipse covered between 92 and 95 percent of the sun. And what is truly amazing is that it was still so bright out. 🌞 I haven’t seen one since I was a child, well, one that covered that much of the sun. It was amazing then, and it was just as amazing today. About how much of the sun was covered where you were?
My knee is doing a bit better. There is still pressure when bending it, but most of the constant pain is gone. It is like snap, crackle, and pop at times. I knew that would happen, though. Well, the amount would go higher. It’s always cracking, it feels like. Luckily, I don’t go back to work till Wednesday, so we will see how I do.
I finished the last paint coat on scales for the next Genshin Impact egg. Well, half of them. We do them in halves to make it easier. Okay, not totally true. It does make it easier, but until recently, we didn’t have enough stuff to put the scales on to paint. Now we do, yay!!! I am going to try and do the designs on small eggs’ free hand. I really hope I don’t mess it up. I will show you when I try.
Besides all that, today was a good day. I relearning movements that hurt, so I should really avoid them. 😆 😆 😆
Good night all! Sweetest of dreams to everyone! Kitt ☺️
My knee feels better than yesterday. I am glad I had the muscle relaxers.my knee is still sore, and the pressure once I bend it to a certain point is bed, but it is still better than yesterday. I feel that’s all that matters. Tomorrow will be better still. I still used one crutch to walk around with to bed safe today. Two reasons, one, it still hurt to support my weight. But I could support it where I couldn’t last night. Two, we have our two dogs. They were both worried about me and literally walked with me everywhere. I made the slightest noise, and bam, there they were. I’m not complaining per-say, but at 80 pounds and over 100 pounds, yeah, I needed the buffer. Their love can be dangerous with their size. Lol 😆 🤣 😂
Most of the day, I relaxed. I made myself start bending my leg a little during the day. I still walked with it locked so I wouldn’t hurt it. Fear is real. What can I say… Tomorrow, I will force myself to walk as normal as I can. I will keep the one crutch for part of the day in case it starts hurting really bad or the dogs get too close. Seriously, their rails could be registered as lethal weapons. Lol 😆
On the bonus side, I got a quote for insurance at 675 dollars. Still to much, but it’s getting cheaper. Yay!!!! Hopefully, the calls tomorrow will be even cheaper.
Plus, I got another set of dragon scales painted for a new egg. I need to take a picture of the 4 that are done so far. There are 3 more to make. Uuugggg, so many!!! But they are coming out so well.
I am calling it an early night. Good night and sweet dreams all! Kitt ☺️
I get the 90 square foot chalet. I have everything except my insurance is not enough. I need to up my limits. I spent an hour and a half with one company. Got a quote. Then, 2 hours later, I was told that they actually couldn’t cover me. So I got to other quotes, 750 dollars and 950 dollars. I swear that’s just crazy. So now I have a call in with one other place and have to wait till Monday. I hate that.
We did go look at the unit we got today. That was exciting. We won’t have any issue filing it. Wish we could have gotten 120 square feet, but I am still happy. Especially now with how insurance is going.
Shockingly, that is not even the best news. Hubby has this friend in California, and they sent us a thousand dollars because they believed in our business that much. They are such a wonderful person. My hubby and I are luckily to have them in our life. We felt like this before the money.
That’s my day for the most part. I am about to go to bed. Night night and sweat dreams all!!!! Kitt ☺️
The interview went really well. I was so nervous. There were 6 other people plus me. All on this Zoom call. I hoped I did well, and I must have because we got one of the 90 square feet chalets. Yay!!!!!
When we got the news, I was so excited with a hundred things going through my head. But since then, I have become quiet. I just realized while I was getting ready for bed that I am low-key freaking out. 🙃
What am I going to do now….
What if this doesn’t work and I lose everything…
How am I going to make enough without working more hours at my job…
All these ‘what if’ are running through my mind. I know it is normal. I know I would probably have a mini freak out. I just wish it wouldn’t happen.
Do I know if all will be well? Of course not. Do I know I will do my best? Of course I will. Even if I was working a full-time job, all those ‘what if’ questions would still be there. Logically, I know this. Sadly, that part of me that likes to freak out at change is kind of going crazy right now.
I decided when I realized I was freaking out that since I know what is happening, I will allow myself this time to freak out. Then tomorrow morning, after bagel time, I am going to go through the contract, make my list of things to get done tomorrow, then go see the chalet we got. As far as my hubby and son will be concerned, all is good and positive from me.
On the other hand, tomorrow night, I may freak out a little on here to you guys, gals, and everyone in-between. But I do truly believe it will be mostly good things I will be sharing. But honestly, I need an outlet. Thank you, WordPress, for this outlet!!! ❤️
Besides the great news that we got the chalet, today was mostly good in general. Work was easy. Di kept texting me silly 🤪 and not so silly to keep my mind from fixating. She is awesome like that. I am on season three of The Dome. If you have read the book, they are nowhere near the same. But both are good.
I am going to go to sleep now, though. Let my freak-out about the chalet be worked through while I sleep. 😆 🤣 😂 Good night and sweet dreams all!!!! Kitt ☺️
Tomorrow at 3pm. That’s when my interview with the committee is. Then I have to wait to hear if it is a yay or a nay on if I get into a chalet at the Western Market. Hopefully, it won’t be a long wait. Though I will be sad if we don’t get in, I won’t be heartbroken. But to have to wait one way or the other for a long time. That might be too much for me. I am nervous excited though so that’s good. At least I think it is good. 😋
I am making axolotls today. I have the base form done of 12 of them. Tomorrow, I need to make twelve more and put the details in. Then I need to bake the clay. If I get them done in time, I will take pictures. Otherwise, it will be Friday for pictures.
I do work tomorrow, so that will help keep my mind busy for a little while. But from 9:30 am till 2:55pm, I feel I may obsess. Lol
With me having work tomorrow, I am going to bed now. Night night, everyone! Hope you have the sweetest of dreams!!! Kitt ☺️
I am so excited!!!! For just deciding sput of the moment to try for the Western Market, I turned everything in today. I have an I terrier with the committee on thursday!!! Yay!!!!!! I am so excited and nervous and all the emotions.
My only dilemma is that I have never used Zoom. I am told it is really easy and it won’t be an issue. I am really hoping that is true. The interview ca. Take up to 10 minutes. Five minutes is me explaining what we make and 5 minutes of them asking questions. I hope I don’t flub it.
My play date with my cohorts mom was fine. She is nice. She was hoping to get a chalet at the Western Market to, but realized that with 3 puppy litters coming in the next 3 months, it probably wasn’t fezzable.
Seriously, it was a good day today!!! I am so happy I decided to just go for it. Good night, sweet dreams!!! 😋 Kitt ☺️
I am so excited and nervous. Tomorrow, I am turning in my application for the Western Market. I really hope I get one. The one we want is 120 square feet. The other two sizes are 90 square feet and 150 square feet. We think the middle size will be good for us. But any would be great. Wish us luck!
Yes, I find myself funny. Thank you for noticing… 😆 🤣 😂
Bull, our male dog was just too cute today.
He just maxed out, snoring with his head on a pillow. It was so cute and so very loud. Lol
I feel my life is very lucky. I don’t always see it, but it is true. I have a family that loves me. I can pay my bills. My dogs are cute. I have all you readers who have been with me through the beginning of the blog and throughout. I am just lucky to have these things. Thanks!
On that note… it is bedtime for me. Night all! Sweetest of dreams! Kitt ☺️
Today was Easter. I feel like it happened way too early this year. I understand how it is calculated, but that doesn’t change the fact that it feels like it came so early.
This is also the first year my son didn’t want to do an Easter Egg hunt, and he didn’t want to Dye eggs. I understand the egg hunt. It’s not as much fun when you do it by yourself. But the coloring of the eggs. He used to love that… omg, writing this inrealized we didn’t give our son all his gifts. Not that there was a lot. It was 3 things, but we forgot 2 of them until I was writing this post. Lol It’s not a big deal since he literally picked them out and k ew about them, but still funny since I am sitting in bed and finally remembered. Lol turned my Easter story funny at least. Lol
As for the Playdate part of my title. I told one of my co-horts about wanting to do the little chalets this year, and she said how her mom was really interested in it. Then her mom happened to call while we were talking about it. She was wondering about them too and asked for some help. I gave her a couple websites and said call if need help. My co-hort messages tonight saying her mom asked if I could meet up for lunch to help her out. So it is like her daughter set us up on a play date. Lol I don’t mind helping her. It can be hard, I get that. So now I am having lunch with a lady I have never met and only talked to for maybe 5 minutes today. Lol I can’t see how this can go wrong at all. Lol
Besides all that today, it’s been a good day. Work wasn’t even bad. That’s always a bonus. Now I am getting ready for bed. It’s been a rather long day today. But a good one, and that’s all that counts. Night, everyone! Kitt ☺️
Today, I had to choose to either make more clay items or not. You see, I have a bad wrists. There are times it will hurt so badly to do anything. When that happens, I am not able to craft at all for a few days. Today, my wrist was giving me warning signs. So I had to choose to pay attention to the slight pain whether I was using it or not, or to ignore it and keep going. I chose to pay attention. I am so glad I did. 😊 I know if I had kept going, I would have ended up in my brace. And if that happens, then nothing is getting done, and I am miserable. This way, I didn’t do anything with clay today, but I did paint the scales. Now, tomorrow, I should be good to go to help with Easyer Dinner and not be in pain while at work. So I think I made the right choice.
Tomorrow is Easter Sunday for many. Until this year, my work has had an Easter Potluck they have put on. This year, they are calling it a Spring Fling. Seriously, I asked a few people who have been there as long as me or longer. Everyone thinks it dumb that they changed it. 🙄 Whatever, though. Just another way that my job is trying to be PC in the eyes of others, but not in real life. Perception is everything and nothing!
Besides that, today was a good day. Get to hang out with my son. The sad part was why he didn’t want an egg hunt this year. It wasn’t because of his age. He said it wasn’t as fun to do by himself. I hate that. To me, that means he wants to but doesn’t want to do it alone. I told him he needs to try and get his friends to come over for a BBQ and we will do a large one for everyone. We might even get my oldest and his friends in on it. Hubby even agreed. But we will see. But how much fun would that be. 😃 😊 😀 😄
So basically, a good day. Now I am going to go to bed since I have work tomorrow. Night night all, sweet smiling dreams. Kitt ☺️
Okay, maybe it isn’t wisdom but actually really good timing. I rarely listen to anything while driving home from work. I know it seems odd to most people when I say that. But you need to understand, until I had this jeep I didn’t have a radio in my vehicle. So it is not something I am used too even though I have had the jeep for 4 years now. Compared to almost 20 without a radio, 4 years isn’t much.
But I digress….
I turned on the radio on the way home today from work. It’s a 7-minute drive, I normally spend most of that time looking for something that isn’t a commercial. Today, I heard a song I hadn’t heard in a really long time. And of course now I can’t think of the name of it. But basically, the song talks about just doing something. There is no time better than now. Sure, the song was about taking a trip. But if you take that part out, it really fits into my life right now. Basically, just go for it is what I got out of the song. I really needed to hear that right now. Sure, I have friends and my family telling me that, but sometimes you need something else to drive it home. I haven’t heard this song in at least 10 years, then to hear it today. Yep, that’s what I needed!!!!
As I said, I worked today. I got done with my job, and then I typed up my business plan. I may not want to work where I do anymore, but I do love the fact that I can pretty much do personal stuff when I need to.
Plus, today, I made mini mushrooms and pumpkins, tacked the board, and painted to scales before I called my day done. My back is letting me know I might have done too much. Lol
It’s been a good day, though. Busy, enjoyable, and got more off my list. I am taking it as a win for the day. Good night all! Kitt
As I have said in the last couple of days, I am trying to put a business plan together. I have been really overthinking it. I go on Google and find a place that does a free business plan. You just answer questions, and they put it together for you. It’s supposed to be free. When I go to save the business plan, a new page pops up that says you have to pay for the trial to get the business plan. How is that free? Free means I don’t pay anything. I understand what free means. Obviously, this site doesn’t!!!! So I did what any self-respecting, annoyed person would do after doing all that work…. I took pictures of each page, so tomorrow I can type it all up and print it off to turn in. This brings me to my second annoyance of the day.
The city hall where I have to turn all this into is closed on Fridays. Yes, you read that right, our city hall building is closed on Fridays. I forgot about that. Why did I forget about that??? Why would a government building be closed on a weekday. It’s so annoying. Plus, with Easter being this Sunday, they may also be closed on Monday. So I might not be able to even turn everything in then. Boo!!!!
On a semi good front. Hubby went to his doctor appointment for his ear. They said he didn’t hit his eardrum, but he got as close as you could without hitting it. They are sending him to an ENT. I am so happy about this. He really needs to get his ears checked out. So yay yay yay!!!
I did take some photos of the gnomies I made yesterday and the mushroms and the turtle i am the day before. I think they are very cute.
Since I do work tomorrow, ŭI am going to bed now. Night night, sweet dreams. Kitt ☺️
Made hubby make a doctor appointment because he was cleaning his ear and his hand started shaking and he ended up pushing the q-tip so far I to his ear he made it bleed. Then, in his ultimate bad decision making, he dumped peroxide in his ear to clean it out while it was still bleeding. Not gushing blood but turning a Q-tip red with blood, bleeding. So I made him make an appointment to get it checked out. I am sure he is fine, but he says it’s like hearing underwater on that side. Which is not a good thing. And it hurts to.lay on still. Again, it’s not a good sign. So doctors appointment it is.
Besides that, it was not a bad day. Got a toe made, sealed up a dragon egg, and made a bunch of clay gnomies, which I will have pictures of tomorrow. Hopefully, I will have a picture of the finished big hand. Hubby and son also got Thing Hand necklaces, keychains, and earrings almost done. They have been busy.
On a completely different note, my mind keeps jumping between trying to get into other faires and going for the western market. I love doing the Renaissance faires, but I have wanted to get into the western market for years but have never been able to. But this year I have everything but the business plan in place. Uuuggg, my mind just keep jumping. I am finishing the business plan tomorrow and turning it in after work on Friday. Wish me luck either way.
I am going to try and get some sleep now. Early morning doctor appointment for hubby plus I am tired. Night night, sweet dreams! Kitt ☺️
I am so proud of myself. I remembered to take pictures of the clay babies I made. Yay me!!!! There are 6 front and back baby pictures, so a total of 12 pictures.
Now, if I had just remembered to take a picture of the finished Thing Hand, my hubby and son has made. Maybe tomorrow… lol
I made some mushrooms today as well. I will try and get pictures tomorrow. But we all know I am not great about it. But I will try.
My family has decided to try something new this year since the Renaissance faires are not quite working out like I envisioned. But because of them, I have the majority of what I need to try something else. You see, we have a farmers market like most cities. I used to love setting up there. Then they got new management and things changed for us. Now, in 2 years, the price has almost doubled. We no longer want to set up there.
There is this other area that has shopping. It is called Western Market. These are little buildings ranging from 90 square feet to 150 square feet. You rent them for a season. May through mid-December. One of the best things about them, they are part of every downtown thing. Art fairs, food faires, bike time, and more. So it is like automatically getting into these venues I normally couldn’t. So we are going to try for that this year. We know it’s not a guarantee, but we figure, why not try.
It’s been a strange day round about new ideas kind of day. Which is always interesting. Hope you had a good day, too! Night night all and have the sweetest of dreams! Kitt ☺️
At work, I was driving myself crazy. I kept making these tiny mistakes. It made something that normally takes an hour and a half take almost 3 hours. It’s so annoying. But at least I got it all worked out. It just took twice as long…
I am pretty sure I talked about me making pumpkin muffins. They came out so well. Sadly, my tummy does not agree. Good thing my hubby loves them, and so do the people at work. And I know they will freeze fine if we want. Yay
My son rode his bike to meet me for lunch today after work. It was so cool of him. He even paid for it. He is such a good and giving kid.
Night night all. I am tired. I hope you have the sweetest of dreams! Kitt ☺️
Today I went to work. Honestly, the struggle is so real when I have to go. But I know I have to, so I go. Tomorrow is stupid, though. There are two of us there. There is no reason for the two of us to be there.
Honestly, it doesn’t take me long to do the basic vault stuff. Even with counting money, there isn’t a reason for the two of us. And definitely not with me there for an extra hour for some reason. Whatever, it’s an extra hour on my paycheck, and I like hanging out with my cohorts back there.
Lazy wise, though…. I just didn’t want to make anything today. I know I should have. I have a list and everything I did work on, so I know what I do have to make. I just couldn’t get in the right mindset to do it, though. I truly believe if you don’t have positive energy when you make it, then it won’t male people smile when they see it. And who wants to buy something that doesn’t bring them some kind of joy.
I don’t really have much else today. Oh… one thing my hubby told me today, they brought poking people back to Facebook. I didn’t k ow they took it away. Lol, so if you have Facebook and miss poking people, it’s back. Just go to the search bar, type in poke, and it comes up. At least, that is what my hubby said to do. Enjoy your poking of others!
Today was a good day all around. I got so much done. I am so proud of myself.
Today I got a toe made, and it didn’t tear, which makes me so happy!!!! I finished painting the scales for the earth (okay, the game calls it bloom, I think) genshin impact egg. I finished off the turtles, so they are completely done, plus I made 15 glow in the dark gnomies. They all got baked even. So double yay me!!!
Plus, my son got the stained egg boxes put together and the 5 other boxes taken apart and sanded. So those can be painted either tomorrow or Monday. It just depends on what else he has going on tomorrow. See a very busy day. But such a good day.
I was talking to Di today and realized I need to take more accountability for myself. I am allowing my moods to dictate my emotions. Yes, I do realize how stupid that sounded. Moods are emotions, but I didn’t know how else to say it. So, I am going to try and keep myself from spiraling as badly. I doubt I will also manage to control it, but I do think if I stay on top of it, it should hopefully mot male me feel as disheartened. I do not like that feeling. 😒
I swear I love the smell of fresh laundry. The smell is just smile inducing. And yes, I know that is a random thought, but I just grabbed some socks, and they smell lovily!!!! So, I am sharing!
Oh, and yay again…. the pumpkins my hubby cooked for me, and I paraded, I made pumpkin muffins out of them. I was worried about freezing it. They wouldn’t be as good. But my hubby said they were very good. I am do happy, because I still have 2 or 3 bags left. Lol
Okay, that’s my happy for the day. Hope you had a great day with smiles as well. I have work tomorrow, night night and the sweetest for dreams!!!! Kitt ☺️
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 ☺️
Dagnabit… I forgot to take pictures of the clay babies I finished and the turtles I made today. I will now have to wait on the babies unless I can get to them before my hubby brings them down to seal them. But the turtles I should be able to get a picture of. Hopefully, I remember. Lol 😆
I was busy today, but it didn’t feel like it. It’s kind of odd when that happens.
I was excited to pay off a credit card today. That was a big win for my family. I paid off the one with the highest interest rate. Yay me!!!!! Now, I only have 2 credit cards left to pay off. I am rather proud of me, I must say!!!
Hubby and I finished The Traitors: Australia tonight. I have to say, after watching the American one, the UK one, and now the Australia one, they are all different but the same. I wasn’t sure about the Australia one at first. It was hard getting through the first couple of episodes. But we really liked the other ones, so we stuck it out. I am glad we did, too. The major difference between them is the players reaction. America, they took everything very personally. UK was more dry humor with some meanness. Australia, though… Wow! They would rip a traitor but still love them at the end because they understood it was a game. The one that hurt the worst was the last faithful. I wish they would have won, but nope. And yes, it’s a spoiler, but it was obvious. And even that person applauded the game play. I recommend them all!!!!
My son and I start watching the 5th season of Jojo’s Bazaar Adventure. We have already seen the first 4 seasons. This one seems different, though. But I think it will be good ultimately. I hope so, at least.
On that note, my hubby made me an offer I am very happy with, so I am going to bed now. Night night and sweet dreams all!!! 😴 Kitt ☺️
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 ☺️
Today’s writing prompt was a budgeting. This is something I think everyone should try and do. It’s not easy at all. But it can be so satisfying. It can also be very stressful not only to actually see your bills but also to know you need a budget, then to stick to that budget.
Life is hard at times. But when you find that groove where everything is working together, life may still be hard, but at least then it is manageable with a smile mostly.
Today was a good day all around. Made turkey soup from left over Thanksgiving turkey. So yummy!!! Plus, my son made biscuits, I love them.
I have work tomorrow, good night all. Hope everyone had a good day! Night all!! Sweet dreams! Kitt ☺️
I thought it was the 17th. I, luckily, noticed on this post. I think I have to edit the others. Oh well, that’s me… fixing things off and on.
Today, I worked. This means that today, I listened to a lot of complaints about the manager who opened. I don’t have an issue with this manager, but I have noticed that many have done it lately. It is sad that it is happening more and more, though.
Home was way better. I got a little nap in, then watched a silly movie. Honestly, I don’t even remember what I watched right now even. Then we had a quick dinner, and then my son and I watched One Piece. What’s sad is we ate almost out of dubbed episodes. It’s so sad!
Otherwise, it’s just a relaxing day. Hope your day was good too. Kitt ☺️
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.
Today, we decided on the faires we will be doing. But I also took my half a sleeping pill about 20 minutes ago, and now I am fighting my eyes. This will be short tonight…
I will write tomorrow and catch everyone up. Maybe next time I write my posts, then take the pill… lol Kitt 😆
Seriously, after having 7 days off that I didn’t ask for, and then only working tomorrow and then Sunday, I just don’t want to go. I k ow I need to, but I don’t want to. Plus, for some reason, I am scheduled for 5 hours. Why, why schedule me that long. It’s so annoying.
Went to the doctors today. It was to see how my seasonal depression has been along with my spiked anxiety. The anxiety has lessened since my.kom went back to Florida, but because of my hubby’s health, it’s like a whole new set of worrying. She also agreed that if I could get better sleep, that would help a lot too. So we are starting there and with vitamin D. Nothing to strenuous.
I tried to watch Prowrestlers vs Zombies today. I couldn’t. It was so completely bad. You need to understand, I LOVE bad, so bad that it is good, zombie movies, but this was just bad. The only reason I was going to watch it was because Rowdy Roddy Piper was in it. But he couldn’t even save this one. 🙄 It was so sad that I couldn’t force myself to watch it. I just couldn’t.
I did watch the dog movie Strays, though. Can I just say…. Not A Kids Movie In Any Way!!!! I found it funny as all get out, but I would never have let my kids watch when they were small. But for adults, it is totally inappropriately funny!
And we are trying a new wat to make the dragon eggs. I am painting each scale individually and then attaching them. It can take forever, but I think it will look better. We will see, though.
I would also like to say thanks to everyone who takes the time to read about my very boring life and look at my pictures and everything else I post. It really helps me feel like I am not alone at times.
Hope you have had a great day and will have sweet dreams when you go to bed. Night night all! Kitt ☺️
I know my youngest is 18 and legally an adult. He is still my baby. Every night, either me or my hubby stay up to give him a kiss good night. There is no real reason to do it. He is more than capable of saying good night earlier, and we both go to bed. We just don’t like it. We may be tired and want to go to sleep, like tonight, but one of us still stays up. I think our youngest appreciates us doing it.
Today was a weird one for a while. I made my toe and figured out my mom’s math was way off on product cost for the eggs. Then I was just so tired I laid down. Didn’t sleep as much as I would have liked, but I still got rest.
Then, when I got up and my hubby laid down for a little while, I watched a really stupid zombie movie. Abraham Lincoln is Zombies. No where near as good as Abraham Lincoln vs Vampires. Not that that one was great, but it was cute. Honestly, both we as good as they could be, and I did enjoy them. 😉 Then I watched an older movie, and only older because it was almost 30 years ago. Trancers was one of my favorites in the 90s. My pops and I would watch them together. There are 6 movies all together. We didn’t watch all 6 together, but we watched the first 3.
All in all, it has been a good day. Now I am tired. Luckily, it is my turn to stay up with my son. So completely worth being extra tired to do. Night all! Kitt ☺️
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 ☺️
Tomorrow is Di’s birthday. Her wonderful kids got her a cake. On top were 2 candles. A 4 and 8. She honestly thought she was 48. She is not come tomorrow. Lol. When I said, “You know your 49 right” she laughed and simply said, “really?” Then laughed a bunch more. It was really funny. So tomorrow is her birthday and she will no longer be 48, per the government. But in her mind, I am sure she is way younger. Happy Birthday Di!!!
I loved the daily prompt. Such good timing with me complaining about work so much. I saw that this morning and just giggled. What made it even funnier was I was sitting in front of work waiting for a manager to let us in. So see, work.makes me laugh at time. Lol!!!
My cohort at work, we worked together today. He told me what happened to his dad. Somehow, he fell in the bathroom. He fell so spectacularly that he broke the toilet completely. He is basically okay, but due to his age and health issues, they took him to the hospital for observation and testing for a few hours. He went home the same day. My cohort still went to work and everything, so I know he is home and okay. Since I had more info, I am sharing it with all of you.
We were going to go out to dinner today, but the weather was massively icky. So we are going tomorrow. Yay!!!!
Tomorrow, I will take a.picture.of the blueberry muffins and make a post with the recipe. I totally forgot today. Sorry. Now it is bedtime. Night all! Sweet Dreams!! Kitt ☺️
Made blue berry muffins today. So yummy!!!! But they need more sugar. But it’s still so good. I should have taken a picture because I think that’s what you are supposed to do with food on a blog, Lol!! I will post the recipe in a different post, though. It is super easy, I think.
Today at work, I didn’t really do anything extra. I just couldn’t bring myself to do more than my job. I feel bad about it, but I also am tired of not being treated right. And that is more annoying than feeling bad.
I have taken about how I like setting up at renaissance faires. This year we are think.of doing a couple of bigger ones. Tomorrow, I am going to write out each one and the when, where, and why I want to try it. I am hoping to middle it down to a manageable level with also having to work a regular job a little. I will tell you what I have decided. Because I know you 5 to know. Lol
Hubby is still spending more time on the oxygen at night. I am really starting to worry more. But he has his doctors appointment on the 9th, and that isn’t too far away. Then, after his appointment, he said he was going to try for disability again. He really isn’t doing well. I still don’t see how he hasn’t gotten it with all his issues and the medications he is on. I mean, one says no driving at all. They told him to be a tow truck driver again. Michigan is a wacky state like that. But at least he is trying again. Luckily, the lung doctor said he would try and help.
I have work again tomorrow so I am going to bed in a few minutes. Hope you have a good day. Night everyone! Sweetest if dreams! Kitt ☺️
My hip and back have not been doing well at all. My hip hasn’t been this bad in a while. Certain positions will make my leg feel like it is going numb. Highly worrying when that happens at times. Then, my back is so sore that it hurts to stand straight, yet I keep trying.
Luckily, I am off tomorrow. Sadly, I do have to go shopping. My son is coming to help me, though. Hopefully, my hip and back won’t hurt as badly, so I can go shopping.
Today has been a day. I have had good today as well. Even with my hip and back have been bad, I am still walking. I saw some ubber cute pictures in my fb memories.
I just love my puppy pictures!
Plus, my son and I have been watching One Piece, and that’s always fun. See, you can always find a smile. Good night all! Kitt ☺️
A picture is worth a thousand words, I have heard that so many times. But it has always made me wonder… if you need 1000 words to describe or explain it, is it really worth anything. The ones that are worth the most to me are the ones that bring no words, only feelings so profound I can’t speak.
Not that that had anything to do with anything. It was just something that popped into my head, so I shared it with you. Don’t you feel lucky now. Lol
They sell lotto scatch-off tickets from $1 to $50 dollars where I live. I rarely buy any at all and have never paid more than $2 for one. But there is a part of me that has wanted to buy a $50 ticket since they announced them. My friend has won more than she has spent on them, but nothing massive. It makes me just want to try one that much more. I just can’t justify losing $50. Yes, I understand there is potential to win. But unless there is a guarantee of winning, it is gambling, so I look at it as what am I willing to lose. And right now, I can’t afford a $50 loss. I still want to buy one, though… 😆 🤣 😂
Talk about a lot of random tonight. Lol As for today, it was fine. Has a good day at work. Hone was fine. Hangout with my son and hubby. Normal boringly lovely day. Now, if the snow would stop and the temperatures would go up, just a bit, my body probably wouldn’t hurt so bad. Hopefully soon. Hope you wonderful people have had a good day too. Night night all Kitt ☺️
At work today, I had. Checkpoint scheduled. It is what the call your annual review. But here is the thing, it has nothing to do with anything. It does not affect your job. It does not affect any raise you might get.
The only thing it did do was allow me to give my manager a review it felt like. I gave her a review of my work and her as my boss and of the store itself. Plus, I reiterated that though it was nice to be trusted, you can’t just give blind trust and never check in. Basically, I had a great review, but it means nothing when it comes to raises. Everyone gets the same, and normally, it’s actually a pay increase when even the new people get the same raise. But I digress… lol Besides that little bit. Which was good. Work was good.
Sadly, I put away all my kids’ nutcrackers. I will miss them till after Thanksgiving again. But I am happy to have their baby pictures back up. 💕
I am a little excited about tomorrow, though. I think I finally figured out how to take pictures of my tails for etsy and Facebook. Wish me luck that it works, please.
Okay, I am tired and will be getting ready for bed soon. Night all. Hope you had some smiles today, too. Kitt ☺️
Yes, that’s how I am feeling today, writing this blog.
Today, I made two toes. It’s great to have, too, that’s for sure. I hope we have just as good a holiday season as last year, if not better.
Each toe takes about an hour and a half for me to make the base and stuff it. Then it takes my hubby 3 to 5 days to finish them off. It is quite time-consuming at times. But so much fun when we see peoples reactions!
Besides that, we also worked on my craft room. It is slow going because I can’t do a lot at one time. Plus, I am also putting things where they belong as well. I sometimes feel that is the hardest part. Lol
Today has been a good day. I am feeling blessed about it and the smiles I had. Hope everyone else has a smile or more in, too. Kitt ☺️
