Today Is Sunday February 28 2021, This Is What Happen

 My mid to upper back hurt, took some over counter medicine to see if it knocks down the pain. I tried a hot bath. At this point it not pulling in down much. 

Paid off rest of bills. And finish up weeks in march in bullet journal. I haven't put any goals of anything or type. I'm sure pain will go away or level out. It driving me some what nuts, trying to figure out what I'll be doing this up coming week. I'm sure I will find something productive.

Six of March here in Idaho there having a mask burning. Not going! Even our community is having one. Hubby and I went to store, and I stay out in car. As he shopped. Low number of mask wearers. But clueless how well inoculation or not.

Since I had both of my shots, and last one was about three weeks ago. I drove to Spokane to see my youngest son Bart and his wife Molly and their two girls Claudia and Wendy. It been just over six months since I seen them. How big there getting. Wendy was still pretty much a baby, not much any more. Claudia is oldest Grandchild. She might be on the autism spectrum. They will know by end of week. They got her in some type of thearpy. They said the type put I don't recall the name. 

My oldest son Sawyer and his wife Betty might be up around Easter. There next one is due in Mid May. I'm floating with ideal of going down in end of April. Or first part of June. One thing I want to do is fly down with out tell my oldest son, and get uber driver to take me to there home. Ring door bell and say "I'm here" See my oldest one doesn't plan. It something he would do just show up.

I been thinking and know I need to be social. I question my self about my social well being. I was trying figure out what sort of social activity I might want or feel it would benfit me and or my community. I definitely don't want to belong to any hate group. I'm thinking of possible getting involved more with local art and quilt group. Possible even volunteering a little time at local museum. Well this is when I retire.

Today Is Friday February 26 2021, This Is What Happen

 

Last week I am sure I didn't take part in PAINT PARTY FRIDAY I have several creative project going on. This one is part of SKETCH BOOK PROJECT in Brooklyn New York. Been working on this for some time now. My theme for rhis sketch book is as planet pluto going though all the zodiac sign. Or one can call it historical or generational themes. This one is as pluto going though Libra, from years of 1971 until 1984. I was getting close to entry my teen years, and pretty much just start out in work force. I entered my working force during the year of trickle down ecomomics. The scales was becoming un balance. This piece was done in oil pastles, twist ties for veggies and meats from store, brown paper bag, and fake gem stones. Question time...What was going on in world at this time...I start seeing my self becoming estrange or different from my family. I see my self as character Lisa Simpson or even Marilynn in Munsters. Like everyone could of made different Choices though our lifes. But I pretty much enter the work force in early 1980's during the time of "greed is good" And my wages pretty much been from $8 to $15 and hour. Which means during my support my self total been I recieves a raise of not quite two cents a year. Confession time...There years I was a stay home mom and didn't work in main force.

As some of you I been declutter, getting rid of things that have no purpose and organize things. Statement time...It frustartating when you know you have something and can't find it. Well one of problem I had was I end up with per cut fabrics and didn't know how to organize them or sort them. Well not long ago I bought some totes. Had a few envelopes. So I'm sorting the blocks by size and sticking them into the envelopes. It took me well over three weeks to figure ths soluction out.

Last few days healthy habits been on a bumby road, car oil will be change, and off to see my youngest son tomorrow.

Today Is Wednesday February 24 2021, This Is What Happen

 Half way though the work week.  Pretty much the same thing. No one is off there rocker or to far off. That's always good. When it comes to my clients and life in general.

Took nothing to the thrift store, in last few days. But I did purchase two items. One was short ruler to put in my creative supplies and bluish pillow case, which I will cut in strips and finish off crochet rag rug. It in the laundry waiting to be washed. It pretty perfume. Although I got other items was so strong of perfume that it send me in to asthma attack.

I swore. No I real didn't cuss. But I thought I had some 8 by 10 envelopes. I looked on line briefly. No need for stack of them. 5 should do me. I did look at thrift store. If I have time I will check the other two thrift store for them. Or I'm guessing Super One would have them. I need to get this size of envelopes so I can move on with my organization and decluttering.

Today Is Tuesday February 23 2021, This Is What Happen

 Today Is Tuesday and that means my well being. I made my weekly goal of .75 pound lost and those using metric I lost 0.34 kilograms. weigh in for today was 205.8 pounds and then in kilogram 93.34. Same goal for up coming week. I will work on making scale read 205.2 pounds or 93.07 Kilograms. 

Let run a few facts by. Right now on even days I am doing exersises. I do 9 standing with 18 reps. Then I do 9 floor exersise and 18 reps. I seem or maybe it all in my head. I'm firming up. Then on tread mill on other days. One thing I need to do is taking some type timer down. Not sure actual how long I'm on it. Tuesday after weigh in is my naughty day, that day I have sweets. Today I had a special treat a 4 ounce of ice cream, or 113 grams. I did take dairy pill. Still played havoc with my stomach. But it was creaming and good. I think it been over 6 months since I had any ice cream. I think last ice cream was made out of cashews. No problem with that. I like to keep my calorie count between 1600 and 1800. This week daily average was 1826. I also like to get enough mineral and vitamin in my food. Three things I'm lowest in is Vitamin D, and not sure how fit day measures this. The sunshine vitamin, I live quite ways north as world goes. my earthly coorinates is 48.6913 N 116.3163 W, Calcium and Potassium. Water drinking was off and on. 

A lot better mood from yesterday. Today Regis had get some supplies in Sandpoint. I real didn't spend any money. I did get Liz grandson a few things out of the dollar store. And got some cotton yarn, well not 100% cotton. I think it was 85% cotton and 15% polyester. I only bought 3 skeins. For $1.00 I don't expect much. But who knows. Usual I made dish clothes out of them. Anyhow I'm almost done with my crochet rag rug.

Today Is Monday February 22 2021, This Is What Happen

 Yesterday after blogging and also yesterday post was on long side. I have three more animal orcale cards to share. 

But hubby and I took quick drive out the game reserve. Sometime we need to change the scence around us. Then he quickly ran into the store and got a few items. I just wait in rig. Don't know why I ask I was wondering about mask. Never seen over 50% of our local population have mask on. As far as his own observation only he and anther person had mask on. Clerk that check him out didn't have one on either. It Sunday and God protects you more Sunday, that is correct.

Today I seem to be stuggling with depression, how I'm feeling. I feel like calling my employer and quitting. I'm just plain burn out from my job. But I know better then to do thing in haste and make any major decision when one under the weather. It shall past, and I can still mange and function. 

I know this might come around as being ungrateful and little on envy side. I should be right down thankful. But my client get all these services and lot of them ends up hindering them. It not set up to get them more on there own. Statement time...I do like my pay check. But here the thing this is how I look at it. If I accidently or purposely spilled something on floor, no one is going to come and clean it up. If I didn't get broom out and dust pan it would just set there. Any other part of my life physical, mental, and emotional. Had to get dust pan and broom clean up, or what every tool I need to fix it and move on. 

During the news I been binding up fabric strips so I can continue on with crochet rag rug. 

Not sure what right and left means when to spirit world.It has something to do with totom. 

Left was the wolf. And I'm going to take three key words and play with them Loyalty, Enduring, and Cooperation. To me loyalty and honesty goes to gether. If you don't have both you can't have either. Not saying eveything goes as I want it or it should. But cooperation of all parties things moves along a lot smoother. Enduring is pretty powerful and some has easier time enduring what toss at them. As for contrary of this card. Is someone influencing you to leave your path. I would say at present time burn out from work is. But making major choice in life when your under the weather can end up being worst in long run.

Right was the raccoon. And going use three keywords for this card. Curious, Shy, and Secert. There so much world I mainly want to experince, sure doesn't sound much like depressed person would be wanting to do. I would use word shy but I need certain percentage of my life as me time. I believe it call intervert. Since blogging came into my life. All can read my secert. I gues one call it my dairy. Dear Diary______________________-. Now for Contrary Have you been tempted to steel or decieve. If I have I don't see it. And I'm a very honest person. 

This last animal spirit card for the time being. Nothing or don't see anything coming rest of month, a lease. This I drew for what call "you" Three key words is good luck, Heighten Sences, and Patience. I don't think I have any more luck then any one else in world. Or heighten sences. But I learn to go with flow, and work with those around me. Fighting with life just ends up being frustrating. Contrary is "Do you feel like pulling into your shell" The direct answer would be yes. I just don't want to go to work. I couldn't ask for better clients. 

Weigh in and well being Tomorrow

Today Is Sunday February 21 2020, This Is What Happen

 I'm trying to get some type of blog schedule going. I pretty much have a schedule for my life, although nothing miltary style. Liz of LAW OF GRAVITY told to me of having a blog schedule. Question time...Do you have a blog schedule. I been some what thinking of one. But only three days I sort of having anything schedule is Sunday which I usual wrap things up from past week, go though thefam comments and possible expand on them in blog post. and plus talk a little bit of the upcoming week. Tuesday I pretty much cover "Well Being" or anything health related. For the mental and emotional part I decided to put under "spiritual" and Friday is my creative spot. In past I took part in some blogger memes or I guess you say an assignments. 

My YESTERDAY post, part of was nine animal orcle card I pulled. Today I'm going to cover three more and then wrap it up on Monday. 

For my later years I pulled the Snow Leopard. Some of key words for Leopard is silence, focus, and self relience. For me I look as being hooked into some type of unwanted or unhealthy codependency. Hubby usual like some back ground noice. Confession time...I like to listen to silence, although I need to be do something. Just setting in total quiteness would drive me buggy. Not trying to come across as conceited. Statement time...I do love my self and I'm work in progress. And I'm going to do the fourth contrary. It talking about lack of solidude. Not really I take one day a week off for my self. I need a physical break, emotional, and mental break or  I like to call it "adjustment time" between different aspect of life. I'm thankful my husband get that. But I have to wonder what later years are. I know I'm consider a senior citizen. I look at my self as middle age. If that so I would have to live to 120. 

Next two cards actual have connection with water. One can fly and the other doesn't.

My father energy. I like to call the masucline spirit. Which is the sea otter. Key words for them are family, tribe, and faithfullness. As for my family and my tribe or let call my community. I am not like majority of them. Most of them lean toward conservative side both politcal and religous. I'm sure I been discussed though out family and with in my community. But if I suddenly made my self in conservative way. I could see my self as hateful, miserable, and angry. So I figure it best to stay true to your self. Something in your life you can choice, family isn't one of them. But other part of your life you do have a choice. I choose to belong to an art and quilting group. At one time there was a local chapter of the oath keeper, and I choose not to belong to that tribe. Contrary is reaching out to others. I have trouble with this one. Being an only child you learn how to do thing on your own. Like making a bed. I know at times if you have anther person on the other side, it goes easier. It all about team work, and I know it never totally balance out.

My mother engery. Which I will call feminnie spirit. Which is the swan. Key words for them are Integrity, creativity, and love. To me if one can't have self integrity and basic guide line they follow it would be hard to love one self and others. Creativity is sometime a way of unblocking unwanted thoughts and habits. Contrary is releasing negativity. Holding on to negativity actual does more warm. But a battery can't work with out a negative charge. But to much of a negative charge can cripple or put damper on moving forward. 

Since this post is starting to look on long side. I am going to try to limited to 3 comments from past week of blogging. 

My first comment comes from Christine "Good to be accoutable for weight lost" It something I learn at very young age. One of my mom saying was "You burn your ass you set on blister" Being honest of your behavior and having integrity usual will make accountable a lot eaier and smoother.

My second comment comes from JOM "Kudos, to you being discipline in in charting your daily calorie intake and other numbers. I have not written a letter or send a card for a long time. I must send a cards to suprise them" I recall people was only way of communcation. My dad kept in contact with his grade school teacher. he went to a one room school house, grade one though eight. 

My third comment comes from BRAIN "Those are really nice fabrics. I hope you had a wonderful Valentine day" Yes I had a wonderful valentine day. I didn't send out any cards, oh excpet to my granddaughters. 

I don't have any thing big plan for week. Continue organizing fabrics, and hopeful get my art piece done by this up coming Friday and can post it as part of paint party friday.

Today Is February 20 2021, This Is What Happen

 Almost a week since I posted anything. It pretty much same form day to day. Go to work, and briefly get supplies for home front. Sound like I'm little depressed, but a lease now I have both of vaccine now. My life could start expanding. 

This morning woke up slightly depressed. And actual thought of calling the company I work for and say "I quite". Well, here the thing no pay check for me, still year off from getting spousal benifits. And which would be between $180 to $200, and I could only make about $10,000 and $12,000 a year. So why cut off your nose spite your face. Unless something out of my control happens. I believe I'm going to start cutting back early in January 2023 and keep cutting back though out the year, and end of December 2023 will be my last day. If they find someone else before my last day, that would be great. Have admit if my clients was like some past. I would be drawing out of my savings. My parents probably rolling in graves after that statement.

I been puttering about. Been going though items and taking them to local thrift store. Now I came up with extra tote. Which will be turn into a toy box.

Haven't been purchasing at whim at thrift store. I did purchase some yellow fabric. For the stash busting quilt. 

Got my car clean out and my purse. So I believe Monday I will stop at car wash place and use one of there vacumed cleaner, weather could change my mind. Weather changes a lot of things. Change purses.

I had every intention to do a orcale card lay out weekend of my birthday, I'm late or dollar short. I did nine card lay out and the first three card were. The squirrels, Dolphin, and White Stag. The first three cards reperesents early years, youth years, and adult years. I like to think my self still as a youth with wisdom. But I guess we all would have different definition on how we age. I don't know why but I think adults and later years being stuck in mud. Well I hope I don't get so old and refuse to learn and try new things.

For my early years. I came up with the squirrel, and some of key word are practical, prepared, Promblem solver, and planner. I just don't get people who don't have some type of plan. Does things on whim. Not saying things happen and one person plan get ultred. There is line in book "Darts here and there" well my mom pretty much did this. My mom side tend to be HIGH STRUNG and my mom never sat. My friends when I was growing up thought she was speed freak. I really don't set that much and do nothing. Watching T.V I try to be doing something. Confession time...I seen people sat for a long time and if I sat like that I would be worried about what would enter in my mine. The squirrels has three "contrary" and what look up word. And I'm going only do the first one...Have you been stuck because of hoarding...I don't think would use the word hoarding. But I been slowly get rid of items. I have two totes in basement and haven't looked in them for ages. I doubt I will use 90% of items in tote. And I found a few useful items.

Dolphin is for my youth. Some of key words for dolphin is family, trust, wisdom, peace, and playful. 

Pod is interesting word, so many ways of using it. And how they protect each other. Statement time...My mother could of protect me more from my father.  But holding on to hurt and angry feelings won't heal the wound. One reason I go to work and there many. One needs to be around others for healthy social well being. One thing I know I need to plan when I retire is being around others. I hope to be involved with local art and quilt group. Possible one more thing. This card had four contrary and I will do number four...Breathe deep and let go. Letting go would be easy if none of us had triggers. But if none had things that didn't bother us, we would be emotionless humans.

My adult years I came up with white stag, or in some called white bufflo. Key words here are purity, masucline, and Luck. Well there time in my life. luck was with me. Ok but to me it more of spiritual thing. What I believe might not be for everyone. Statement time...I won't tell you your faith or believe system is wrong. Not saying it can't be discuss in civil terms. But I believe we are put here for reason. Some of it good and there time our life we go though some rough times. At times we are the students and then we are the teachers. Once again I'm going to use the second contrary...Have you used your sexual energy unwisely. It been ages since I done anything like that It would be hard to use  unwisely at my age. No little ones would happen. Confession time...This one I real had some what diffucult one under standing.

It staying lighter longer.

Today Is Tuesday February 16 2021, This Is What Happen

 There times I have to take day off in middle of week, it helps as there are place aren't open on weekend. I like my weekend off, as well. 

At one time I heard I could draw or get my hubby social security benfits as spouse. This is what I was told I could get something like 20% of my hubby social security when I turn 61. Not death benifits. Well those benifits starts at 62. And next want to know if I could still work and pay into mine. Well yes and no. I couldn't make more than his social security or than they would be consequences. I know word consequences sound like doing  something bad. I would be limited to what I could make. I wouldn't be aloud to make more than my husband social security. The main thing I want to do is keep paying into mine. So I will keep on working until somewhere between 63 and 65. If I could of gotten the 20% and kept working it cover about half of our medical insurance. If you don't ask you don't know.

Tuesday I would of went to my local weight lost group and the covid thing put a damper on it, as well other things. So every Tuesday I weigh in and we still send out weight off to one ladies. So we are accountable. I was down pound this week, weigh in at 206.6 my next Tuesday weigh in I want to have scale a lease read 205.8  Not sure what key things is but it seems if I keep doing these four things. The numbers on scale go down. Calories count under 1,800, drink water, exersise, no food after 7 in evening, and limited my sweets and such to one day a week. Let talk numbers and quick review of week. My calorie intake daily aveage out to be 1,779. Fat break down grams in (tablespoons) goes as Saturated 200.6 (15.6) Polysaturated fats 122.1 (9.5) Monosauturated fats 313.2 (24.5) On my mood report I try to do it at random time of the day. But for some reason I only did 3 times this week. On my happiness I checked off happy twice, and unhappy once. Before I stop posting about health let do one more mood is health. I know I have high blood pressure, and I'm fat but I feel healthy. So I gave my self three check for being healthy, although there one higher, very healthy.

I finished up anther ball of fabric, but I'm going to add a little bit of bluish plaid to it. So this weekend I might start crochet on it. Wrote two letters and they will go out in mail. Paid bills. Going to watch BLACK CHURCH on PBS as iron out fabrics. Got 5 items ready to be taken to the thrift store tomorrow and will quickly add anther 5 items to take.

 On one hand I'm glad my life is uneventful. But when it comes to blogging not much to share. My life is going to work and back home. Then there the stop and pick up some food. 

Took Regis to the doctor. He kept feeling his back were they (doctors) cut to put in his nerve stimulator. He thought all sort of things. I would be type for a while. Anyhow I think he bit of SOMATIC SYMPTON DISORDER but with his schizophrenia. It might not be all that easy to tell. Oh well, he sweet person.

Today Is Saturday February 14 2021, This Is What Happen

 

Happy love day! 💕 Just found some emjoi on blogger. I'm always learning and find out cool things. But some time I just can't figure out what emjoi means 😠 If this he or she conspiated or just pissed off. 🤣 The laughing one I often wondered if their laughing with me or at me. Either I'm not loosing sleep over it. 

Hubby and I adventure out today. All of our trash cans were filled and plus a few other items need to go. Off to dump we went. usually on Sunday the dump is busy. I guess because of Valentine day it. was pretty slow.  Confession time...eye ball items at dump and my creative side my brian starts up. But my logical side says "No" 

So I went though two bags of fabric and also some junk journal items I got in mail. Junk Journal could be also called Collage Journal. Well I want to mount my camera on correct tripod and do some filming. My FIRST video I studder about. Then my SECOND video my card in my camera ran out of space. But it moving me forward on organize fabrics.

Since I didn't show all the fabrics I decided to take five fabrics I like best from larger bag. 

This bag had all sort of shapes and sizes. Not even sure how I will organize it. There were plenty of variety sizes of per cut squares, piece sewn together. and just plain scapes. I don't think there much can be use in stash buster quilt I'm currently working on. 

I've liked whimsical art with sun and moon in them. I guess that main reason I'm attract to this piece of fabric. There was few non cotton fabrics I will give back tto the thrift store. I don't recall how many pieces is going. But I'm counting it as one. Plus they was two pouch in them, new. I don't need or want them. So off they go. Now I need to find two more items to drop off at thrift store tomorrow. 

The other place hubby and I stop was the food store. He went shopping and I stayed in Pick up. I am in store enough during the week. I just had to ask him about local mask climate in the store. It seems like Sunday hardly anyone has a mask on. And this Sunday was no difference. Statement time...I guess god and gun will keep you safe from the virus.  Our town just had local gun show. I went to once years ago. My interest in guns could be put in a thimble, and still have plenty of room in the thimble. Plus I figure if 1 percent had mask on at gun show, I would be shocked. A possible super spreader.

Not sure what I will be doing this week, I have my job to do. But I was hoping to have chance to work on my stash buster quilt. I really need some yellow fabrics so I can start working on my stash busting quilt again. Out of all fabrics not one yellow. If memory 🧠serves me correctly they were hardly any red either. But plenty of blues, and that one color I'm not short on. 

So during week I will press out fabrics and figure out there popular place. The other thing it would be easy to work my crochet rag rug. Let see what else is possible for me to do around the place for week get hold of social security and see about spousal benifits. And enjoy life.

Have a hunch quite a few pieces will be toss in container for a CRAZY QUILT or a CRUMB QUILT. Not sure what the difference is between the two. Know one thing for sure you can pretty much set your own rules. There even possible even doing a log cabin style of quilt. Not sure what word I rather use than crazy for quilt. But in Victorian age the word "hysterical" was used. How about hysterical quilt. I like term eclectic, bohemian, and whimsical.

Look like snow might be coming.

Today Is February 9 2021, This Is What Happen

 Quite day at work. Haven't taken anything to thrift store. I went to second chance and hope to find some cheap valentine cards to send my granddaughter. Didn't have any that I liked or would be fitting for some one under 5. I will try the other thrift stores. The ideal of paying over $3 for a card doesn't set with me. So If no valentine card is found for let say $1.50 I will just send stickers. 

I thought I would be down. My calorie daily aveage this week was 1,716. And I like to keep between 1600 and 1800 calories.  Well I weigh in at 207.6 up 6 10's of pound. Eailer this week I was at 206. Yesterday I didn't get my water in and be came dehyderated. 

Still puttering about of getting things down size and organized. Find something to do. Yesterday I put some of embrodiary floss on the bobbins. On Tuesday I watch PBS finding your roots. So I put this thread floss on bobbins.

Every so often I putter about on my family history. I been filling in my first cousin on my maternal side, mostly there spouses. If it easy I will put in there grandparent info. I been still trying to figure out great mystery of my Great grand father Charles Shirley mystery. I was told his father was Philp Kunkle and decided to take the surname of of Shirely after an old maid Aunt of his. Well I found him living with a family name Robert Shirley in Pennysalvia. But he is listed as Charley Kunkle age 4 in 1870 census. But in 1880 census he is listed as Charles Shirly in same house hold. So I been slowly getting hold people who connect to Robert Shirley and hopeful they can shine some light on this. 

I did mange to find 5 items to take to second change adoption thrift store. I thought of making up for lost days I didn't take anything in. Although I haven't yet been thrift store to purchase something. Because I might use it, or it good price. Although I have looked for a certain item. 

Today Is Sunday February 7 2021, This Is What Happen

 

Lot quite day, I enjoy boredom. I just pitter around the place. Did load wash mainly jeans. And also been working on some creative things. This evening I cut a little more strips of old sheets. That will be made into a crochet rag rug. Since I been blogging since 2005 and made 3624 post counting this one. I want to give one my rag rug to my blogger friends. Not sure how I'm going to do it or when.

Decide to sew some fabric strips together that I cut. Part of my stashing busting and organize fabric campagin. No I am not running for public office. The main goal for project was to sew strips together until I ran out of yellow strips. Yellow seems not as easy color to come by for fabrics. The top fabric is first piece I sewn togather and buttom is last one I did.

Opps this photo should be on this post. And I can't figure how to remove it.

These two I like best I sew together. Organizing fabrics is coming along nicely, although I wish it would go faster. Still small pile of press fabrics need to be put in there correct tote. I should be able to place them where they need to be. I'm sorting floating with ideal of do anther fabric unboxing by doing a you tube video maybe toward end of the week. But there more pressing things to take care of. I was thinking off giving odds for me to do a you tube video.

Might be a possible lay out for block for my 2 inch stash bust quilt. Did some embrodiary and was going to put my embrodiary floss on bobbins. Well remember I could find labels for the bobbins. I found labels and now I can't find my color chart for embrodiary floss. I know if my head wasn't attach my shoulders, who knows where I would of left it.

Been staying with in my calorie count. 1,800 or less. Not offical weigh in but I did get scale. I won't give number until Tuesday. I had hit magic number that I plan to by Tuesday. Now there no need for me to get crazy with food. 

Also this morning I decided to draw out an Orcle card out deck and got the GREEN MAN

Today Is Saturday February 6 2021, This Is What Happen

 Over cast day, took hubby to get his first shot for covid. He start to hurt and he claims he reacting strongly. I wonder why men when they have any little thing they tend to make it a major thing. If I had pain level at let say a 3, my husband would be lot higher. But I'm glad he got his shot. He goes back March 10 for his second one.

Before we went to town. I got text from Regis that there still mix up with one of his pills. The type his doctor want  him to take, the insurance company won't cover it. So they want him to take something else. So he still has older prescription over at the drug store, about two weeks worth. I will pick up them and hopeful the drug store will have some good news. If not I will get hold of his doctor to see what going on. Regis need to take in consideration it weekend.

Then when we got back from hubby having his shot. We have two neighbors in 90's one has dementia and she wonder over to our place. She was standing by our car, friendly soul. But was confuse but not mean. So I took her pick up and drove her home. Her husband wasn't to be found. So I figure she would be safe at our place. Tell I found her hubby and I start to call the neighbors and someone in about 20 minutes or less they found him. He went shopping. He doesn't go much and thought he had he settled down. He thanked us for taking care of her making sure she was safe. He says that the "love of her life" And he says he can't put her home. Not sure of income I believe he was bus driver for Grey Hound and I guess he has union pension of some type and social security. I've seen some pretty fancy memory homes that cost a lot. Then there those they toss adult diaper on them and line up in hall way. 

Looked at my text message and it was Regis. Liz starting to cut her self and became abuse to verbal abuse to him. I guess he stop her from cutting her self. And told her to leave. Liz never been abuse toward me, only once. But I know Thursday with social worker she was having some trouble dealing with her son estate. Or some type of emotional rampage. See Liz decision making skill is something. She acts before taking all things in consideration. Confession time...I tend to go over board and weigh out every possible little bits and pieces before make a lot of my decision. I bet I missed some great things, although I haven't landed my self in major legal mess. Plus usual Liz makes a lot of choices total based on emotional. 

But Regis will leave things out of what happen. See sometime they are all that have is each other. Both are mental ill. And in strange way they lean on each other. 

Worked on resent getting the fabrics I press into their correct containers. It slow going but it coming long. Not sure what part I will be doing tomorrow.  One thing I was thinking about doing pulling the full ones to one side. So I can see were I stand on my smaller fabrics. I hope to get the remaining ones I just pressed in the other totes. 

Coffee is on and stay safe

 

Today Is Friday February 5 2021, This Is What Happen

 Thought I would post a little before I head out to get my second shot for vaccine of covid. One side of me is excited to get done. Then the other side is anxious of side effect. I heard second part is worst then the first one. I guess since we're on covid thing. We never should of got to this place with the pandemic. 

Did mange to get Artist Trading Card completed. Still working on my kitchen or food serious of cards. This one above is from letter "K" going in or out the kitchen restaurant. 

Not sure if I posted my embroidery quilt block as part of PAINT PARTY FRIDAY or not. Like a lot of my creative project it slow going. Like I said having a job puts a damper on my creative life. But I like bills paid, food and shelter. 

Not sure how I feel or exactly what my opinion would be. On seeing creative ad projects on social media. I look at them and think to my self. "I would like to take part in that" then I come to realization of reality. That I still need and want to show up to work. I been seeing ad from MAKER BEE HIVE  and some of the creative project they offer. One of them is Paper doll work shop. Ten dollars isn't the issue but time part is. Her CLASSES sound wonderful.

A little snow came in.

Today Is Thursday February 4 2021, This Is What Happen.

 I usual work Friday. But I start my work week last Sunday. It just seems strange.

I got my last little batch of fabric cut into strips. Now I'm ready to start stich them together. Not sure when going to happen. I hope before mid month. These are the last four I cut.

Off to get my second vaccine. Tomorrow I'm a little nervous I heard second one can be ruff ride. But I understand the reason behind the second shot. Plus I need to go the UPS store to send something I receive from Amazon broken. 

 

It been a while since I made a meat spread sandwich. Had roast beef and to say it wasn't tender. So I ran though the meat grinder, add little bit of dill pickle and green onion. Oh and quite bit of mayo to moist it up. I like to actual grind roast beef, boiled potato(s) fry it up. And then poach eggs on it.  

I been staying on track when I come to eating. I send a package to LIZZIE she made a video, it long.

Today Is Wednesday February 3 2021, This Is What going to happen

 Been tired last few times after work. It quarter to eight in evening, no way I want to got to bed now. But I keep yawning. 

The fabrics I iron or pressed last few days. I did a chance to cut some strips out. I thought I would be farther long. But I'm moving forward.

Yesterday was my naughty food day. Today only junky food was cheese puff. And my clients offered them to me, as any guest would offer someone visiting. Just being kind.

Today Is Tuesday 2 2021, This Is What Happen

 I'm tired. I was hoping to be posting a lot more. 

Went to work and first part day I took care of Liz. Mainly just light  house keeping and some shopping. Regis we went to library in Sandpoint. He got some dvd, and I did get one dvd. I was curious what they might have on subject colonialism. And we stop Foster Crossing in Sandpoint and usual it pretty cool antique and collators store. I have never seen fabric in there and I thought that out been my thing to hunt for, and I know odds was against me finding any. I have plenty of fabrics. So I was happy about Foster Crossing. Anyhow it been ages since I been in there. The inventory seem low. I thought I would of seen new stuff. He went to game store and then both of us went in Wal Mart. As for mask they seem like quite a few people had them on.

Morning weigh in and I lost half pound. Doing fitday with some type of plan and reasonable goal I do a lot better in my weight lost journey. 

Took my five items to thrift store. Let say I'm a head of game. Might not be rate or speed I like.

January Report 2021

 Hubby mention we only use snowblower once this year. But last Feb 2020 we got hit with bunch of snow, well it over on east coast.

Today I was out and about with Regis. He did his banking and I went post office. There kitty corner or I heard kitty wampus from each other. We meant back at car. He said he was only one bank and he turn around there was quite few people waiting. I had to ask him if any of them had mask on. I believe his reply was "Are you kidding, no one had mask on. I said it was pretty much the same post office. Counting my self I saw four with mask, 2 picking up mail out box and my self and one other in line. So glad my vaccine will be done Friday and hubby start his on Saturday.

Off and on keeping my food journal going. But my calories only been slightly over 1800. Only few times it actual made it in 1900 calories or more. If I'm under 1600 which been a while I feel super hungry. That it changes my attitude 

Well here what PERSONAL INSIGHT says.

You are inner-directed and shrewd.

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.

You are motivated to seek out experiences that provide a strong feeling of organization.

You are relatively unconcerned with both achieving success and independence. You make decisions with little regard for how they show off your talents. And you welcome when others direct your activities for you.

It one weaker analysis

Going to take three catagories.

my SELF EFFICARY I had to even look up, and to me I'm not sure if it self preservation. I tend to drag things out, that really don't need to be drug out. Doing chores I learn very quickly to say to my parents "I'm not finished and so I wouldn't have to go though what I call exam or the inspection  Well it was at 12%.

Self impression is at 4%. Percentage is low. Once again had to LOOK IT UP I have had quite a few people says they find comfort in me. Confession time...I feel like basket case sometime. At one time they was a book called, how to make friends and influence people. Never read it. I try to be real. I know my faith and politics don't fit in my local community. But if 180 degree change I would be miserable

Impulsiveness 82% Not me hardly at all. I'm far from someone who is O.C.D. But going though life on wing a prayer. I rarely do it. It say above "carefully think through decisions before making them." don't sound like an impulsiveness behavior to me.
