Today Is Monday October 19 2020, This Is What Happen

 Snow gone, well actual it was gone that same afternoon. Went to work and quite day. I was ask about sometime post what a caregiver and a personal caregiver. So here go....

There people for many reason has a person come into their home to help them with their daily living. It could be cause of age, a physical, emotional issues, and or mental reason. The caregiver try to make there life easier and comfortable. A caregiver might total bath them to head to toe, or give que about bathing and high gene. Every caregiver and client relationship is different. I like to spend 10 to 20 minute listening to them when I first come to work. Then after that I would ask what they need done. Usual my client says "Whatever needs to be done." So I usually do home chores and if I think my client needs something called to their attention. I will bring it up.. I usually set up appointment and attend with them. A lease once week I try to do something fun with my client, to keep their mind active. So it looks like the 28th we're going to carve pumpkins. There all sort of things we do here a short example, cook meal, sweep and mop. Remind client to take there medication, fix sandwich, laundry, make sure there pets are taken care of, dust and etc. 

Let briefly talk about weight. When I am bored or stress I like to nipple and or at time stuff my face with cookies. Will weight myself tomorrow and report to my friend. Her and I was in tops together. But since covid it just not happening. And for good reason. Also weigh myself on even days. 

Let talk briefly and it won't or shouldn't take much time is about numbers on tarot cards. Statement time...I don't pay much attention to the numbers of cards. Talking about minor arcana. Let just first three numbers...One is no one it just you. At time sometime we might need another mellon depending on the situation.But at times it better to hold your own Two your add another piece to whatever puzzle of life comes your way. But sometime two can work together but other time they can pull. Three is first one to make something come wonky. Every here that saying one just fine at times, two company and three not aloud. But them three has the vote to break a tie or finish a decision Three also a start of group. 

Took off the elastic from and old bottom sheet. Ready to cut it in to 2 inch strips. But I still need to dig though my tote of old sheets to find a complimentary sheet to go with yellowish color.

Today Is Wednesday October 7 2020, This Is What Happen

 

I was typing out my post and poof it dispersed into unknown places. Well I won't cover my complete day of yesterday. But one might as well hear about Regis and my adventure in Mitchell store, in Priest River Idaho. To me I've claim as for those who mask wears, it depend on which way the wind is out of.

So I had to go to the bathroom and I would of got little something. As we're in car in parking lot we got our mask ready to put on. I did notice one person walking into the store with a mask. Regis and walked in the store with mask. Didn't see the bathrooms and ask clerk were they were. She pointed to front. Not sure what Regis did but let say I was in the bathroom for 3 minutes or so. So after, I grab a candy bar, usual on Tuesday I like to try to dry a new dark chocolate bar. This time I got raspberry tart. It was ok I think it need hazelnuts.

Now it let get back to what real want to say. Regis wears this mask that is a skull and the few people in there had to turn there head. I believe and can't prove it. But they just want laugh at him. That one issue about living small conservative town any thing so called out of there version of normal isn't excepted.

On the way back. Stop at Walmart to get a few items. The main thing I want to get was candles for my Samhain alter. This year I am doing my parents and Murphy parents which has both past. For each of our parents I will use the major arcana to match there zodiac sign. Both of Murphy parents were Taurus and the card I will use is hierophant. My mom was a Virgo and card for her will be hermit. And for my dad I will be put up the moon card.

Well as for candle I want to match up the card and zodiac sign. So for hierophant I was looking for a darker green, Hierophant a brown, and moon card I will use a lavender candle. Around a six inch candle will be use for black candle in the middle.

So I order all candles off of esty.

Got a few yellow stripes cut. The ones I cut was solid yellow. But if you notice the two in middle looks the same shade. The difference is the texture, now I need to move on to the yellow prints. I did manage to get in a walk this morning.

Today Is Sunday September 9 2020, This Is What Happen

 

Thought I took a snapshot of rough draft of little spot down Myrtle Creek canyon. The moon sat fairly late. I tried to get a picture of geese flying by. Didn't happen.

This is what I am trying to draw. Having trouble with the DEVIL CLUB it plant right in front of big rocks. The leaves look like giant maple leaves and they set on stock like flat dinner plates, sort of hard to get angle. But Murphy and I enjoyed our day down there. I also worked on my other drawing of my six of pentacles. Forgot an eraser and also I just took my camera, sketchbook and pencils. When hiking I like to keep things light. As we were hiking out, it came to me. That a small backpack would be handy. 

 Before we went into the mountains I cut some of my blues, decided to start with my solid blues first. As for my solid blues I got majority cut. 

Planning to do a youtube video tomorrow the 7th of September , on my thoughts and opinions and that's all it is. Oh I will be doing it on basic income. Plus I will show the crochet rag rug I finished. It going to be used for showers. 

August Report 2020, This Is What Happen

 To me once August is over it time to wind up summer and get out harvest party stuff. Since covid and all stuff, not much party been going on.

As for craft I start a crochet rag rug. Got the blue in and rolled up some brown. Most of my rag rugs are from old sheets. Once in while I will do them out of regular cotton fabric. But it costly. 

About the third week in month I feel flat on my face when comes to drop some weight. By end of September I had ideal being under 200 pounds. I doubt I will make it and guess I should be around 203 to 201.

Got all my. Maybe all isn't a good word. I got my scapes primary color sorted, pressed, and neatly put in a tote. Now on to my secondary colors. If I did this pretty much for 15 to 30 minutes daily I would pretty much have my fabrics in order. I got a few things taken to thrift store also. 

I discovered a quilter FREDDY MORAN I like the whimsical look of her quilt. 

There was a few hot days in August but toward end notice few leaves drifting toward goldish color. Plus I found my rocks and charms. See what happen when you go through all of your purses.

PERSONALITY INSIGHT let see what it says...You are inner-directed and somewhat indirect.

You are philosophical: you are open to and intrigued by new ideas and love to explore them. You are independent: you have a strong desire to have time to yourself. And you are authority-challenging: you prefer to challenge authority and traditional values to help bring about positive changes.

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

You are relatively unconcerned with both achieving success and tradition. You make decisions with little regard for how they show off your talents. And you care more about making your own path than following what others have done.

Now my three thoughts on different things that came up...Prone to worry at 36% well I never looked myself as worries. If or I tend to worry if things aren't up to date. Confession time...Then on the other hand I am horrible at my paperwork. I just need to do it. Trust is number 2 and that 42% and I thought it would be up in 60% range. I also felt like I am a trustworthy person and I trust other people. But I sure don't have my head stuck in sand. I know there not so nice people. Number 3 and last one is closeness at 16% Now I might sound a little like hypocrite. I have trouble expressing myself and there been time I did and was stab in back and made a fool of. So I guess I do have trust issue. I look as trust as physical thing...example If I said I will bring twenty dollars on certain day. I would make sure I was there with the twenty spot. If something odd came up and couldn't make it. I would then get hold of you and make other plans. So one reason I blog and do creativity art to express myself.

Today Is Sunday August 30 2020, This Is What Happen

 

Not heavily felt like fall weather, only slightly. Notice the Maples on North side place start to lighten up to a different color. Other then tanning, wouldn't it be strange if we all changed color though the change of season. Started to sort of watering what I call royal sunshine bed. Half of it needs to come out. We want to plant a tree in that spot. So in summer time the sun won't be beating on kitchen door.

Thought I wouldn't living in world, mostly here in United States that became disconcerting for those who live in North Idaho, and isn't a Trump supporter. Start to look into other places to live. As for political climate I am looking for neither a dark red or blue state. Yes other small requirement in moving. Knowing I won't be getting everything I need or want.

My son and his family from Medford came up. Meant them at the beach and mostly her was shocked on how many people didn't have mask on. Won't past judgement on any of dramatic of who is who anyone of the people in photo. There in Oregon or Washington if you don't have mask on they usually ask you to put on mask and if you refuse to then your ask to leave. If that doesn't settle the mask issue they will call local law enforcement and then usually your charged with trespassing. Around here nothing is done about mask. Opinion time...I believe there afraid to say anything because of retaliation.

My life is to go to work stay stores much as possible. Go home and only social life I have is I visit with my friend Quenella in Georgia park once a week or every other. We get our coffee at Under the Sun and there no protection for the employees or customers.  None of their employees have any type of mask on or shields on. Usual most of their clientele is also unmasked. I been thinking of getting my coffee at zip trip and just taking it down to Georgia park.

Sort of playing with ideal going down to Medford, in October. I have no issue of wearing a mask and social distance. But since I live in area that  most people here doesn't follow C.D.C guidelines. Feel it not right for those who might be traveling the same time I am, and putting them at odds. Actual I feel safer over in Washington or Oregon, with their mask mandate.

About to say If memory serves me right that waverly fabric is from Walmart. I could google that to find my answer. So I got these fabrics iron and put in there correct containers. Rolled up one brown fabric roll for my crochet rag rug I am working on. It good to let the fabric roll to set for a lease two weeks, it seems it sort of natural puts crease in fabric, to hold at one inch. Over on facebook I been doing a creative challenge. So far no takers but I am not giving up. But even for us people who likes to do our arts and craft the way we meet is changing. Most community has such a thing as art, yarn, or quilt club and they either put on show or be part of the local county fair. What I notice lot of them is doing it on line. One quilt show I would like to go to is the one in SISTER OREGON but like lot of them there now online, wear it safe and I understand why it done this way. But it seems strange. Last I heard our community is hosting there show at our local fairgrounds. I just don't see myself not going. 

Today Is Saturday August 29 2020, This Is What Happen

 Been watching our two main political party convention, pretty crazy. Question time...Is other country politics as crazy as Americans? Well I have  family members on both side of political scale. So I been told it not good to have idle mind and or hands, work of devil. So I kept busy and also believe it saved our television for me not to toss a shoe though screen.

  Like I said I kept busy. Started a crochet rag rug, using old sheets. I ran out blue and would like to come or close to matching one of other color in the blue. Have a tote full old sheet. What I did find was an old brown sheet. But only dug through the tote briefly. 

No photos but did a quick and rough sketch of my next tarot card I am drawing. One thing I find is difficult to get depth of a hall or aisle.

Then organize more fabric. Not short on fabric. I got some wet and let try for about half hour outside. Usual there is a breeze. So during convention I pressed or a better term was to iron out wrinkles.

These been working real good to wrap smaller piece of fabrics on. Not exactly sure what there called. But I seen them in different store and usually they run from one to two dollar a sheet. I got a stack of them at a thrift store. My only complaint is that I have to cut them to size I need. Which is hard on hands, Murphy told me that the same type material they use in farm nursery that handle plants and such. They make shipping containers with them. 

Same old thing going on. I get up and go to work, although the clients I have is pretty easy to take of it. But I am looking forward to retirement. Covid numbers are low in our area, last I looked under 45. It seems like depending on day of week you go shopping on what percentage population has mask on. Last Thursday it seem hardly anyone had maks on. Then on Friday it seemed like most of population had mask on.

Today Is Thursday August 18 2020, This Is What Happen

 Hubby had his doctor appointment and I like a doctor who takes the patient words and spouse in consideration. They had him on TRAZADONE and after four days it pretty much quite working. The word 'Antipsychotic" is little uncomfortable but they put him on SEROQUEL in hope to calm his brain. Thinks way to much. The doctor said she didn't like to use label when I ask about what diagnosis might be. On the hand I wonder if she is trying to be kind. Then briefly brought up PERSONALITY DISORDER and she agreed with me. We all have some type of personality disorder because the world isn't perfect. No one I knew grew up Ozzie and Harriet, Leave It To Beaver, or Brady Bunch. So his next appointment is in 30 days unless there issues that comes up. He needs to get hold of the lady who runs behavior health at the clinic we use. I brought up to the doctor today about me having some talk therapy and jump thought the insurance hopes. She said it would be a lot easier and no rocking boat with my insurance carries, if I talk my primary carrier. Hubby and I have different doctors.

I accomplished some part of goal. I iron, organize and stored some fabric. Then I went with some craft supplies and got them in there proper storage. Even a little forward movement makes me feel better. I never claim to be smart but if I didn't get more fabric rest of year. It would be good choice.

Been creeping up my weight. It seem hard to juggle the three main part of losing weight. Burning calories, keep calories in check, and plenty of water. 

Couldn't figure out letter "H" for the food theme "Artist trading Cards" well I came with ham and hand mixer. Still stretching my rough draft for six pentacles. It in there in my vision part of my brain, finding it a bite of struggle. 

If it all work tomorrow  out I am planning to take my client a day of doing arts and crafts. Then Sunday I believe I will do one more video for the month. I feel I wasn't clear mainly about my ideal for a one payer system or medicare for all and my flat taxes. But I am sure I will find something else to chit chat about.

Today Is Saturday August 8 2020. This Is What Happen

Yesterday I was tired. I try to make my client life a little better. Yesterday I took Regis to Spokane. He is into doing model spaceship and ufo. Me personally when the boys was younger we did model rockets and  launch them. Our first store was going to be a model train store and we couldn't find it. He was looking for some N SCALE model train. It was for some of his diorama. Then we went up to B B HOBBIES and he found some rocket and believe godzilla. I didn't find anything that grab me. Then we stop at HOBBY TOWN and I believe Regis got few items and I got a rocket launcher. Well in Priest River we stop at the Priest River Community Thrift Store.

Me and my fabric. One of package I thought it was bundle of fabric, it wasn't. I just briefly look though the craft section. And there was a tote full of fabric. Well we didn't stay in there long. Only part of their customers had mask on and none of the staff did.  No plexiglass by the cashier either. Well if it wasn't for covid I would gave a four star. I only gave it a three star it was pretty crowd and not sure what or how they feel covid either. Other then that it had great prices, clean, organized, and wide selection of items.

Hubby and I talk about possible selling and moving. What we want a community. His thing is mainly the mountains. For me it would be diversity. Well there mountains here. But as for diversity it could be better. There more we would like in a community. I know we won't be getting everything on our list.

Hubby and I would like visit a Jewish Service and the closes temple or synagogue is in Spokane. I was surprised they was four different ones. Not sure what difference are....CEE of SPOKANE, BTof SPOKANE, C of SPOKANE and CH of Spokane. Well Washington has lot tighter range on covid. You just don't go into a store without a mask. 

Doing better feel less emotional drain. Actual in my weight I been pretty much the same. Even had a chance did little organization in place. Got all the bills paid, except the credit card.

Today Is Friday July 31 2020, This Is What Happen

It the day for PAINT PARTY FRIDAY hope you have time to stop and admire the artist who posted this week.

Another one for ATC collection of food theme. 

One day I was in walmart and picked up this thing called a "painter" I would describe it as high class marker. So I decided to try to use it on the gummy bear above. The other medium I use for paws and such was water color type of marker from crayola. And white color pencil to make sugar like marks.

Going to try to make video of my July report tomorrow.    

Today Is Saturday July 25 2020, This Is What Happen

Hubby didn't sleep all that well. He keep dreaming. It been awhile since I had a solid dream of anything.
This morning we went to Safeway got $50 worth items, or three bags full of items. Mostly food.

Numbers for covid are still slowly going up in area. I hear third of people in United States thinks it hoax. But in my area I would guess two thirds thinks hoax.
Confession time...I sure wouldn't say I am all that patriotic, although I am no treasonist. I have common courtesy to our government and all people.
But to me if I think our country having unjust act domestic and or foreign. I just don't get why back up something isn't just.
One I can recall is when our twin tower in New York City got hit. Then shortly afterward we went to war with Iraq. Iraq didn't fly those planes into the twin tower. It was Saudi Arabia. And there plenty of human right violation there and we back them. Or it greed and we want there oil.
Some will say Iraq had weapon mass destruction, so what and what do we have. No weapon of mass destruction. Well we have plenty of weapon.
If back then during our conflict against Iraq I wouldn't take up arms against them. In most part we were wrong to go over there. But after saying all that. Statement time...I sure wouldn't give any assistance to them either.
I love my sons and when they were in wrong. I didn't back them, lie for them, and they had to take there punishment.
But if there were in right I would of defend them to last sweet in my brow. Same with my country I will stand for it when is in right. But not when it was wrong.

I was ask about if I do scrapbook. I have a lot of creative and art projects. But scrapbooking isn't one of them. Closest thing I might be interested in is JUNK JOURNAL. Although there lot photos of my family and I am clueless who they are. Which is sad.
There was someone briefly talk about mask and going across borders. Well the state both side of me has mask mandate. I am guessing if go across state line either Washington or Idaho I would have to follow their mask mandate. But one county here in Idaho Kootenai has mask mandate.
I know safeway and walmart has mask mandated. Well around here it not being enforce. I understand the only way it could be enforce is if the federal, state and or local government had a mask mandate. 
As I see it only thing a store could do here would be, ask you to put on your mask or leave. Calling the law enforcement would be waste of time. Unless they start tossing a fit and doing damage and then could be charged with vandalism.
I been going down to Georgia Plaza during my lunch. It a little grassy area with a few tables and benches. It help me decompress, and I very much need my introvert time.

It been slowly going and also I been dilly dallying about. Don't recall how long been working on my sketchbook for BROOKLYN ART LIBRARY
Mine is based on zodiac. But more in debt this recent one is Leo going through the planet of pluteo. At this time it was end of great depression and going into start of world war two. Put also the baby boomers were coming about.
I believe all my mothers brothers served in either WWII or Koren. Most of my cousin and I was part of the baby boomer generation. I was toward the end of it. I do have to cousin older one was born before the baby boomer. They were born 1944 and 1946.
For me personally I look as many American was pretty well sheltered of what was going on. But what was going around us was completely different story.
For more artist please click HERE

Got up at six had cup of coffee and watch half hour local news out of Spokane. Then went for a walk here is about halfway photo. Looking south though the people down the road from us.

Today Is Thursday July 23 2020, This Is What Happen

Another warm day, yesterday I made a video of one of my walks, plus other VIDEO and notice I need to keep my camera level. Don't do video all that often. But not all viewers but I notice I lose my audience in about three to four minute in.
Actual a few things I don't vlog all that much. Two reason for that lack of time and been so many years with blogger.
Well then there things like all of us, we need to work on. 

A few things I saw social media. One was about giving your kids ass whoopin. I think only twice I gave my kids spanking with my hand and the popping sound scared them more. As using such thing as a belt, it didn't happen. My parents and most parents I knew used a belt or board with holes drilled in them.

I was one parents when my son's got into trouble and did big doodoo. Usual the chores was piled on... wood choppin, weeding, scrubbing walls, floors, ceiling and etc.

Confession time...Not much on bible teaching. The one on spare the rod and spoil the child. Is one of many verse I disagree with. 

Before I move on. I feel best to teach your kids to be comfortable on making choices in life. Sometime and or where there going to have to make choice. That isn't going to make them popular.

My husband Murphy decided to stop marijuana. Well he smoked it for 50 years and it was bring his blood pressure up.

When his little his mom would tell him stop thinking. No one gave him the tools how to stop thinking. So in his early 20's or so someone introduce him to marijuana and it calm his brain down. 

Right now he trying to get him into counselling. Not sure how it in other places to get any type behavior or mental help her in United States is pretty hard road.

One just call up your local behavior center. They pretty much done away with term mental illness.

One of our Northern county here, made mask mandated. I am sure before labor day all 50 states will have a mask mandate. There was plenty of disgruntled opinions from local population here. That they won't comply.

It slow going but one mask done. If I didn't drag out things. well fact is I would get lot more done. This one going to our local community action center.

Not sure when this went up. Before there were an orange sign with not so good contrast color for lettering.
Honestly this one you can see as one drives into Bonners Ferry from south. Not sure if anyone will google Bonners Ferry and Trump. He quite popular here.
This might be little devilish. In United States we have 3,007 counties, 16 boroughs, and 64 parishes in United States. I know my state of Idaho will carry Trump, no doubt in my mind. But it would be funny if our county was only one voted for Trump and we would be come laughing stock of world. Well if that happen Idaho would go for Biden. In reality that ain't going to happen.

Got some mask cut out. Not sure where I will be donating them to. Mask aren't popular here. More business is having their employees wear them.
Right now our local hospital and extended care is looking for mask. Our local health dist is looking for mask, and what I want to know if they offer them to public.
If I don't find out by Monday. I will be calling our COMMUNITY ACTION CENTER and see if they would like some for those folks who want or need them.

Talking about Mask. Our local panhandle dist had meeting to see about having a manated on mask wearing. Not sure all how zoom meeting work totally.
Well news cast I saw which guessing last 2 to 3 minutes. In background you can hear anti mask heckling. Not sure how this is done.
Not one vote for mask in our health dist.

Murphy and I clean out bunch dead branches and limb from one of maple trees. There a lot new growth lower down. We build a small fence around it to keep the deers out.

This morning I drew a card out of oracle deck and got crystal is about "Focus" here is a copy of what book says on this card... “Here we see an amethyst crystal cave bathed in the water from a river, the points of light representing the spiritual force that these crystal beings generate. Amethyst, as well as other types of quartz crystals, have been used for thousands of years in magic and healing, as well as for intensifying psychic capabilities. Since its violet colour is the same as the crown chakra, it has often been referred to as a spiritual stone.

The nature of quartz crystals, the second most common element in the Earth’s crust, is that they help focus the power of our life force, or Spirit. Where attention goes, power flows – and crystals magnify this power tenfold. Our intention influences where our attention goes. When we’re consciously aware of our intention, it facilitates the focus of that spiritual power and supports the manifestation in material reality of that intention.

It is time to bring your complete focus to the subject of your inquiry. Eliminate all distractions, and give this your undivided attention. Whether this is a project, relationship, or simply a relaxing time spent walking in nature, be fully present to the situation. This sharpening of focus will expand your awareness and allow your inner guidance to penetrate your consciousness, which can then be parlayed into appropriate action.

By being focused with crystal clarity, you are in the flow of your life force and, in fact, have become one with it. It is not a hyper-vigilant or tension-filled state, but one of relaxed attention. Keep your eyes, ears, and heart focused on that which you need to pay attention to, and miracles can be created. To paraphrase a fictional elder, “Use the Force” and use it in life-enhancing ways.”...In lot ways I have to say I don't understand it in a spiritual way.

It been a while since I taken part in PAINT PARTY FRIDAY. Still working on my food, eating, kitchen theme for my ATC cards.
I am at letter "G" and it for "grapes" done with color pencils.
Our local community has a group that makes gift bags and drops off on door steps. In hope to brighten someone day. I will be adding this card to my gift bag.

Debated for while to keep or take this container to thrift store. Well yesterday I figured what I has going to use for. Don't mean I will change my mind. But it working quite well for a loose paper holder.

Picked up three ring binder and one this three ring pencils holder. I thought it would be a good place to hold some of my creative tools. As you can see I have my crochet hooks in one pouches.
I have a feeling that possible I might end up getting a larger three ring binder. If so I will donated back I think paid under $1.00
At this time I only have two pouch. Amazon offers them and for know I don't need over a dozen.

There been cutting hay now I like the smell of fresh cut hay.  It quite comforting to me. Although I don't care itchiness of it.

This morning I did my daily walk. I ended up pausing for a few second and could decided which way I want to go, at fork in road.
I took my regular walking. I still working on walking to Orthodox church, and how long have been working on this goal.

Off to work now. And going to drop off bag of items to thrift store.

The sunset last night was sure on pinkish side. Red sky at night sailor delight. But just read sometime they use the term shepherd instead of sailor. Even in bible they mention RED SKY And even other faith has a thing about WEATHER.
Not quite a full moon and it was pretty low in the southeast sky.

Before Hubby and I went for a drive today, we went up to landfill and took up our old dryer and gas stove.

Pile of metal all sort of shapes and such. Confession time....I look at all this scarp pieces of metal and wonder about yard art. Which I never attempted. Well I got enough on my plate.

Murphy and I went for a drive up twenty mile creek, cut cross the Bolder Creek drainage and down Katka.

Top of 20 mile before we start to head down. We were in the Purcell mountains.

A little side stream or creek. I would think it going into Boulder Creek which goes into the Kootenai River.

We did visit the wider part of Boulder Creek. We even tried gold panning and did fine a flake or two. I am still need my day job.

Part of the creek bank is starting to give way. We were careful wear we stood.

I seen this before and they look like some type of mushroom or fungi. Question time...Does anyone know what they are? 

This is up on Katka looking down on the Kootenai River. Not sure if you can see Burlington tracks are on the left hand side of the river. 

Got most bills paid for the month. Paper work done for work, well almost Liz I am going to redo. It so messy it will be kicked back to me.

Wrote up my monthly goal, a little later I will talk about them. Might even be part of tomorrow post if not that, by Wednesday. 

Got back in to saddle when comes to be accountable for my weight and health. Today I had 1501 calories which is slightly under and no food after seven in evening.

First meat I had was 1.7 ounce of country sausage...Not sure if link will WORK But the best part of sausage is Niacin

I live with between two mountain range the PURCELL and the SELKIRK. Then off to the North East one can see the CABINET
Hopeful this summer I can get up a lease in the selkirk and purcell. Cabinet is a little ways although not that far.
Today I took some photo from my yard of the three mountain range, which will be posted. Although I won't be tellling you which range is what.
Sorry about the clouds...

Murphy and I did different chores around the place. One load of wash done. With wind today it didn't take long for laundry to dry.

Dryer should be here mid month. Actual I like line clothes dried better. Such a nice fresh smell.

Trim grass around building and trees. And I like small solor lights at corners. And I tend to put wind like items by each tree.

Visited though facetime with Sawyer this afternoon. Both Hubby and I been pretty good following CDC guide lines for Covid 19. But I have to say Hubby does a little better then me.

Still planning to visit both my son before the next round of Covid. 

Made some more mask. Planning to take them to our local COMMUNITY ACTION PARTNERSHIP

The blue one I cut a little small, I am sure it could still be use it.

But there anther piece I am ready to do, and I forgot to cut out the interfacing for middle.

Today Is Sunday May 31 2020, This Is What Happen

Had every intention to make a few masks, and last night I got them cut out. Except for the middle piece. I use interfacing and open the package of what order. Way to heavy. So it going to be send back.
Started to work on my next page for the sketch book project. It will be collage, having no trouble finding war photos. But I am having trouble finding non war photos. Collage is from era of 1940 to end of 1950's.
Our local library will be opening Monday. I know I won't be going be going in on Monday or Tuesday both full days.
So possible Wednesday or Thursday. Not sure how it will be ran, because of Covid 19.

End of the month weigh in, let say I pretty much didn't gain in month of May. It seem I pretty much balance back forth, 1.25 pounds.
This morning I was want to be at or around 202, I wasn't. At 203.8
My next weigh in will be June 2 and my goal is to be at or under 200 pounds.

Part of our emotional is how we behave and act. Fitday has an mood tracker. This would average mood for month of May.

My goal is to keep my calorie count between 1,600 and 1,800. What notice I do loose at this calorie range. I don't feel hungry.
For this month my daily average 1,793 calories.
My other goals is to drink 40 oz of water daily. If I start before let say 10 in morning and continued on I do meet my goal.
I do have a fitbit so I can keep track of my steps. But for some reason I am not consisted at all this. My daily goal is 7,500 steps.

Last Friday Liz and I went over to one of her friends place. And she had a few things she want Liz to go though. Mainly clothing.

She gave me a purse. 

And Liz ended up giving me a few pieces of the clothing she got. Couple of them our going back they don't fit me. To tight around the chest.

Usual have my stones and charms in little bag attached my purse, but I can't find my bag. 

Been doing research on microphone. And such glad I did, my camera doesn't have a audio jack, and also thought of getting a shotgun microphone and I just don't see how to mount a shotgun mic to my camera.

Or might even use it in post.

Tuesday May 26 2020, This is What Happen

Had my physical and my lab work form my blood work was excellent. Only one minor thing was slightly off was my CREATININE, and my result number was 0.55 and the normal range should be 0.57 to 1.00 scale.
She wasn't to worried. I brought up the swelling and she exam my legs and thought I wasn't holding all that much fluid. Then I mention I didn't perspiration like I see other people, I seen people drench with sweat.
She say some people don't sweat and some do. I have to say I pee a lot. My ears as I got older seem to build up wax and it dry out. Suggest I soak a cotton ball in mineral oil for about half hour to soft the wax and work it out.
Then last thing she suggest, that I should take a walk several time a week.

I iron some fabric to make some mask. A little while ago I bought some Muslim and I still wash out all my fabrics I buy. Not sure if I am from old school or what. When I was younger you washed fabric you bought. Now they say you don't need to. Just recently I was about to iron out some wrinkles. So I place sink full of water and sense the fabric was to wet. I place of railing out on deck, guess what one of blues leaked on to anther piece of fabric.
Recently I saw a quilt made of work clothing. and everyday life, and these fabrics would have all kinds of stains from food, dirt, grease, paint and such.

Regis is getting out of the hospital tomorrow and they will drive him back to Bonners Ferry. Confession time...I am little nervous of my reaction of seeing the burn damage. I learn on job there certain reaction are ok and others are not.
I once took care of lady who had both her boobs removed. I could feel a strange look coming over my face. She never react back because of my reaction to her.

Morning weigh in wasn't what I want to be. I weigh in at 204.4 I am up 1.2 pounds. Now let just look at three brief facts on my healthy life style journey
1. My daily average calorie count this last week was...1966, and my goal is to have daily average calorie count of 1600 to 1800
2. Most of my fat calories come from monounsaturated fats 316 calories
3.Then there those carb calories 748
I understand or see percentage better.

Sharing four more photo of my walk game reserve on Monday.
