Today Is Saturday February 29 2020, This Is What Happen.


It been a while since I post and most I think don't want to hear about my boring life, at work. Or those every day chores we have.

I got quite a bit of my strips cut and the next step is to sew four together. Which will be done in March. Then I will have a account for how many blocks I will need for my Spotage quilt.

I actual felt lazy today. And did mange to get the table clean off. Went to Mugsy a local pub. Our local pagan group was to break bread. Our group is wane. Sad to say in our community “Paganism” isn't excepted.
Not giving up but I will try hosting two events a month, for a while. But for safety reason we can't to much out in the lime light. And for safety reason people need to be careful. And at this time I am not going to list the whys
But pagan don't push there faith.
I would like to have and open discussion on different part of my faith. But it looking like I will be learning and practice as a SOLITARY PAGAN
Which I find lonely. But thankful I can love my self.
The main reason I believe that people might become or practice solitary faith is. Geography there not many pagan in my area, there still less one percent of population is some type of practicing pagan. I would consider my self ECLECTIC PAGAN leaning toward DRUIDISM

Our community seem to have a lot of solitary organizations. I been hoping to find some type of creative guild in my area. To be creative in the field of arts and crafts.
Been to a few organizations but I want and need to learn.

It been a long time since I receive a quilt block in the mail. I belong to a Facebook group we exchange quilt blocks.
I don't recall last time I did a block for someone.

Here is a small tote of cut strips. March I am going to start sewing them together. Work on my bullet journal and hopeful in tomorrow or next day I will have February report posted.

Today Is Monday February 24 2020, This Is What Happen

We went down to Spokane and saw my youngest son and his family. They took us to see POMPEII exhibit. Sorry to say I only took my phone and wish I took my other camera. But I never learn how to transfer photos from one device to anther one.
There were a display of MOUNT SAINT HELEN ERUPTION in 1980. I was 20 years old and the most of items I recall very well. Mostly the ash.
But it got me wondering what is kept and document for future generation to see. Question time...What do you think will be in Museums 50 years from now? I think there strong possible people will be watch more hologram type of television. So the flat screen television will be in some museum.

I did mange to get a walk in before went to work. Hubby and I made it to second power pole. Couldn't tell you how many times I start this walk. My goal is to walk to the ORTHODOX CHURCH Guess it a little over one mile one way. This been one of my goals to walk there and back. I lost count how many time I start this goal.

Then also I got my things I need to do this evening. Weigh in at my local T.O.P.S Meeting and go to Under the Sun, friend Qunella going to meet me there.

Today Is Friday February 22 2020, This Is What Happen

What to post about, I have feeling it going to be a short post. I believe I been doing better on my health adventure. Did get a few extra steps, for got to put on my fitbit and need to get back on recording things.

Murphy  and I  went to dumpster, haul trash. As were coming back lost a trash lid and found it. Went to town twice, sometime it just happens.
First trip we went to bank Regis want some items off the net. He gave me cash and I ordered his things. So I use my credit card and I want to get his cash on my card.
Stop in store and had sale on oranges.
Then the second trip was to pick up Murphy Medication and get bulb for a tail light.

Off to Spokane tomorrow to see our youngest son and his family. He just got back from a hiking trip in DEATH VALLEY. Said he has some photo and videos of trip.

Watch a DVD on PABLO PICASSO. Like lot of things I end up with more question or thoughts.

Today Is Thursday February 20, This Is What Happen

Watch the democrat  debate and I will leave it at that. I just want Trump out of office, plain simple and at this point I don't want Bloomberg either. Getting tired of his ads.

Work day.

But weight lost adventure is slipping. Not being consistent. Here a small list I need to, or better stick with plan.
It help me if I record what I eat. Which I haven't for a few days, not enough water, and movement could be better.
So what am I going to do...Eat sensible, drink water, and get those steps in.

I post this over on facebook "Over 2 million on go fund me, is asking for help medical bills. There something wrong with this picture"
Well I got all sort of comments. But a little later on I decided to respond to my own post... My husband and I discussed about if there were was a VERY COSTLY MEDICAL BILL and could possibly leave the other spouse destitute. That medical treatment would be refused...We both have medical insurance. Mine is private and his is Medicare...Neither insurance gives a 🐀 ass if we live or kick the bucket. Anyhow no 💑 should be having this conversation....Please note...neither one of us is ill and still healthy. 

But we all can to things to improve our physical, mental, emotional health. Not eating sensible, getting your water in, and exercise will have effect on all around health. Sure this isn't cure all. But it something we all can do, including my self.

Someone found my painted rock.

Today Is Sunday February 16, This Is What Happen


Yesterday I gave my self permission to have a lazy day. And I did. Today well I did a few small chores around the place.

I did up my weekly goals or to do in my bullet journal. I seem to have a fairly small to do list. Confession time...I feel like I should be doing more. But there been time I over book my self and don't accomplish it all.

I broke it down a little differently. Into different categories.
Like household, creative, and spiritual ones. Yes I still have my health goals.

For household chores this week I like to accomplish is vacuum, mop, clean the fridge and the bathroom sink. Not saying I won't do other things around the place.
Creative goals real quite simple. Cut out nine more blue strips and toss in one for up coming quilt. Today I been working on my “hammer monster” rock. But he should be finished before this coming Wednesday and hidden in my community.
Just little more to do on my “Pluto in Cancer” which is part of my astrology art book, which I want to send off to Art Library in Brooklyn New York.
Spiritual goals. Organize my book of shadow, which I pretty much did today. But notice there a few things I need to get for it.
Two things I like to do is write my starting letter and do the Empress project.

I did find my toggle for my fit-bit. Haven't been wearing it for last week.

Yesterday after I posted. I was looking for different type of on line repositories. I hear the generation coming up has different look on reserving past.
So one thing I do is quilt and someone told me about the QUILT INDEX and went new site and put a search “Idaho” and 61 items are posted. Which isn't all many. Looking at the quilts. But some of them I am total clueless why there in under Idaho search term.

Since I do ATC cards and other creative thing I wonder if there could possible one for rock painter and haven't had a chance to look.
But they do have one for ATC FOR ALL
I don't think it what I was looking for. I put search of “Idaho” in hoping to find some picture of an ATC done from my state. I also did search for “Boat” and no actual photos of ATC cards pop up. I got a few forms area to look into.
Maybe this isn't the site I wanted or I understand.

Today Is Saturday February 15, This Is What Happen.


Work hours got increase by .75 hours for a week, between Liz and Regis I now work 30 and ½ hours a week. Doing ok with direct deposit. And excepting with work things will get done, at different pace.

Weight or should say “Things of healthier way of living” I been doing better in keeping in my calorie goal range. So for this week I been averaging 1,815 calories. So I been under not quite 200.
Haven't gone for any walks like I want or liked to. But more movement.
Water might be slight increase also. Let say I feel like I am doing better. 

Lunch today had C.O.S. (Chicken on Shingle) The S.0.S is quite costly now. I recall it fairly common to have chip beef on toast. So there were some left over chicken from night before.

I did finish one craft items this week is anther ATC card done with color pencils. This one will be keeping for may self.
I did get some strips cut to make blocks for my up coming “spotage” quilt. Just did up nine different shades and patterns of yellows.
With work and what every other chores and such. Some project and creative things can take different amount of time, if a job wasn't a factor. But like I said my clients are fine decent people.
I start to paint a rock, it been a while. Trying to make friendly looking rock monster.
Sawyer and his wife is talking about going to Costa Rica in May. I like to have them take painted rock and leave it there. They took one of my painted rocks to Cairo.

Been sort of squall of storms off and on. Bart and his father in law went down to DEATH VALLEY to do some hiking.
Next Sunday Murphy and I will be going to Spokane to visit. Hopeful we can get over to the MAC.

Today Is Wednesday February 12, This Is What Happen


On may way to retirement, I turn 60 today and five more years I will be applying for my social security at 65. Full benefits would be at 67.
I could retire earlier but I would take cut in amount I would get.
Couple of things I am hoping and working toward I can retire off Liz and Regis. Then I have plenty of projects and such.
Considering I won't have a retirement to live a jet set life.

Both of my son called and wish me a Happy Birthday.

Been moving a little more then usual and stayed with my calorie intake. I feel like I been making healthy choices. Or I should say balance choices.

Most days I been doing to creative project. Today I iron up some fabrics, that picked up local thrift store and sort the yellow from the other colors.
Hopeful tomorrow after work I can cut some strips for what call spotage quilt.
Doing this quilt is helping with organization of fabrics, although it slow going. But it going.

I did a birthday reading with tarot cards, and two side beside which called my attention to it. In general it was a good reading. The only thing I can work on is self, not being so hard on my self. I guess it always true we are worst critic.
People are like stained-glass windows. They sparkle and shine when the sun is out, but when the darkness sets in their true beauty is revealed only if there is light from within.”
Even if I don't make great leaps and bounds. But I am.

Today Is Monday February 10, This Is What Happen.

I been finding some yellow fabric, slowly. But I still need to wash, press it, and cut it. But with work I seem not to accomplish those very small task.
I just don't see it happening until Thursday.

On social media people been having there broom stand up. I like the reason of planet and axis are at prefect balance. But here real reason possibly, BROOM STANDS ALONE .
Statement time...It still standing. Stood it up a little before 7 this even and it almost 9.

Meant my husband over at the senior center today, for lunch. Hasn't all that many there. They served Hungarian goulash. To me it was spaghetti sauce with meat served over spiral noodles.
Everyone mother when I grew up made with there own little secret ingredient.
Also came with meal was mix veggies, mandarin orange, and spice cake.
Still trying to learn my way around, see if there any activities. Briefly looked at announcement board.
I know one lady sell Jewelry once month there and there day they do card making.
But I still have to work.

It been a while since I did any ARTIST TRADING CARDS. This one I left at wish well in Bonners Ferry.
The wishing well is a place on main street that usual people abandon there art work, mostly painted rocks.

I could create and be creative all day. But I need to work and since I have a great clients to work with. Which I am quite thankful for.
Weigh in on Tuesday morning.

Super tired. I slept well over at Liz. Went to bed at my regular time around 10. But got up at eight in morning. Usual I get up between 5 and 7 AM
But this time I slept till 8AM

Anyhow I had a good time over at Liz. Main thing we did was making Valentine cards. Mind for my three Grand daughters.
I put stickers in them. They will go out tomorrow.

Monday Is work day. But before that I need to work a little on up coming week in my bullet journal.
Two and half things I am going to try to complete tomorrow is...clean my car out and vacuum it. Wash my new piece of fabric in morning and iron it. Statement time...I don't why it difficult to find yellow material for up coming quilt.
Work and all if I get half done. I will be happy. And third thing I will glee with joy.

Today Is Saturday February 8 2020, This Is What Happen



Thought I would post something. Since I haven't post anything since the 6th. Work and spending to much time on facebook. Confession time...spending to much time comment on political post...Statement time...It pretty or right down impossible to change any one way of thinking and looking at world.

Guess it been a year since I went to Liz place for an P.J PARTY anyhow last one, I did enjoy my self. She invited to other people. So if all come they will be four of us.

This time we're doing crafts. So I am bringing some craft supplies. Sort of on the agenda is to do Valentine cards, we both have grandchildren. One of the other lady has a baby and the other lady not sure her ages of her grandchildren.
She turn 60 last August.
Then other two crafts is possible paint rocks and Artist Trading Cards.

Not sure what we will eat. I am bring popcorn and maker. Then also some dvds. I suggest Liz get hold of the other to find out what sort of genre they dislike the most. For me it would “horror” movies with extreme gore.
I guess my two I like the best would be comedy and historical documentary.

I start back on work on my artist sketch book for the BROOKLYN ART LIBRARY Now I am going to sound like hypocrite. I feel more at easy less time I spend on facebook and it sure not good for muscle tone.

Today Is Thursday January 6 2020, This is What Happen

Sorry just brief divulge. I am total with out words how I feel of what our country has became. Hopeful with in a week I can put something together. Right now I'm in shock.

Went over to the community lunch today and they had stew and my husband also had stew for me for dinner.
Both was very good. But I have to say hubby stew was better.

Before lunch my client and I looked though TAROT BOARD GAME and one could learn a lot about them self.
After lunch we went to the community thrift. My main focus was trying to find more cotton fabric in yellow, for the quilt I am working on. I did find one piece a size 12 in young girl top. I can use it in the quilt I been working on. 
I stop briefly over at Second Chance Animal Shelter, visit there thrift store and looked briefly around.
Didn't have time to buy anything. Had to go to my next client.

Today Is Wednesday February 5 2020, This Is What Happen

Let start right off the bat. No need to mince words. I am worried about our country and it constitution. There a lot of policy our government does that I don't agree on.  Never been much fan of Ronald Reagan. He is one who started the down fall of middle class, start with break up of air traffic control union.
But it bothers me and it not right to have any American citizen, political or non to be investigated by foreign country.
I can think of few people I would like to have investigated maybe I can hold of someone in Cocos Island to help me with this.
Question time...Do you think Trump will stop having people investigated using a foreign entity?  
He not going to stop. Our president need to loose big time both electoral college and popular vote.
I won't call or predict possible martial law yet.

Hubby and I went to Sandpoint to get a few items that are need for place. Mainly rugs, ban-aides, and Metamucil.
But before that we went Cedar Market and ate at CEDAR STREET BISTRO I had and chicken crepe. He had a wrap.

In my weight lost adventure, and not. I been staying just below 200 pounds and calorie count the same. I know I need to drink more water and get more exercise. 

Been cutting fabric into strips for an up coming quilt. To find out that I am sort of low on yellow. I stop in with Regis at one local thrift store and check to see if there was any yellow fabric, nope non there. I believe this up coming quilt is from recycle or up-cycle fabrics
I did end up getting an nurse uniform top and it was yellow with a print. Actual I don't want a very small percentage of solid color fabric.
So I will check the other two thrift store this week or first part of next to see what I can find.

Today Is Monday February 3, This Is What Happen



Thought I had a better stash of scrape yellow fabrics. I am sure I do, I looked on top of our Queen bed. Which all sort of fabric toss on it.
Murphy and I could use anther throw quilt. So I thought a “Spotage” would take care of two problems. Like I said short time ago, I can have anther throw quilt and organize some fabrics.
Since my three main color is blue, red, and yellow. Then every so often I toss in some other color.

Yesterday which Sunday, I cut some mainly red strips, although different shades.

Took a walk down the end of the road. This is a deer trail. I notice other places in world has leaves on there tree. Question time...Do you have leaves on your tree.
Sun rise here is about minutes to eight in morning.

Work day and before I went to work. I stop at bank made deposit and order some checks. I usual use the debt card. But there a few checks I still write.
Then since I will be 60 in 12 days. I can go to senior center. Confession time...I am trying to not judge the place. But I want and need to be active person. They seem not to be an active senior center, sure there is a few activities. Such as games, and card making. And to me it seem main focus is on meal and food give away.
They ask for donation for meal of $4.00 but if your not a senior it $8.00
I also ran vacuum quickly thought the house.

Weigh in tomorrow, last week start out roughly. I guess we're creature of habit. Usual on Tuesday and Wednesday is my naughty day. Or one could say extra sweets and fats. I was going to change that to a Saturday. Because I was heading to birthday party.
One of my Aunts she turn 90.
I had plan to just have piece of cake. Well when done with my tops meeting, I went into a coffee shop and order a cup cake with my coffee.
I did mange to pull my self around and mange to eat more healthier.

January 2020 Report


January is done and now it February. Kinda of skimming though my bullet journal. What I completed and what I didn't. Or even making a stab at it.
The odds and ends of small household chores I usual got completed. My fabric is still out of control pretty much every day I make a stab at. As I am working on other throw quilt. Even today I cut more strips and found a few more primary colors.

It seem our winter weather came mainly in January. I stayed pretty much with in my spending budget. Did my saving for up coming taxes and for my bills, other then monthly.
I had plan to save up to do art studio in basement and for new flooring in house which I haven't started yet.

For kick and jiggles I once again did PERSONAL INSIGHT
You are inner-directed, shrewd and can be perceived as critical.
You are deliberate: you carefully think through decisions before making them. You are independent: you have a strong desire to have time to yourself. And you are calm-seeking: you prefer activities that are quiet, calm, and safe.
Your choices are driven by a desire for organization.
You are relatively unconcerned with both achieving success and taking pleasure in life. You make decisions with little regard for how they show off your talents. And you prefer activities with a purpose greater than just personal enjoyment.

Let see they also talk about other items but I won't go though it all this around...
You are likely to be sensitive to ownership cost when buying automobiles....This is pretty true on most things I buy, what is the over head cost.

have experience playing music...I played the violin when I was younger. I have mention this before.

like historical movies..This is spot on and usual I read something historical or twist to it.

You are unlikely to be influenced by social media during product purchases...I haven't yet bought anything though social media add, yet. But no plans of right now.
prefer style when buying clothes....When buying clothes color speaks to me. I guess reason I like quilting.
be influenced by brand name when making product purchases...I recall when I was younger it seem every home had crest tooth paste, not important to me.
