Ugghh... =(

So today I pulled something I thought I'd NEVER do.

I've put so much pressure on myself lately... the kind I used to before I found out I had lupus... I've wanted to prove to myself that I could still hack this kind of stuff... get a TON done in a handful of days.

I can... BUT with the help of (the clincher!) two, yep TWO, Full Throttles... and in a matter of hours.  *sigh*

Granted, since DST I haven't gotten more than 4-5 hours sleep a night... so normally I think I could've accomplished all I have without that extra crap (yes, it's crap!) in my system.

I blasted a few of my old Evanescence CD's and buzzed (literally) all over the place.

Brought back some fond memories of the year (think it was 2007) when I dragged my family off to see Amy Lee at Boise Centre on the Grove and the kids from school my girls ran into who'd say "we can't believe you got your parents to come to this concert?", to which S and A would reply "uhh, it was my mom who made us come"... LOL!

I'd forgotten how much Evanescence always gets me going... weird, since their music's pretty dark and dismal and I'm normally a Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell 'Ain't no Mountain High Enough' kind of girl.

Playing an old game.....

..... Ally and I. It happened as we were driving down Ustick Rd. the other day and saw a car with a Hawaii license plate.... then 20 seconds later Connecticut and Pennsylvania.  Now, if you've never been on Ustick Rd, you might not understand the significance of that. Ally got Alaska yesterday. Guess I better get out more.

Turning the full-of-stuff-bins in my garage into an etsy store

It's time. I've been chattting this up for years.... YEARS. Been cleaning out my garage. Getting rid of soo soo much. Have sold a ton of stuff and donated lots. But there's still so much fabric, paint, wood, floral supplies, paper, jewelry making stuff... you name it, it's out there. I even have friends that will call up sometimes and ask if they can "come shop in my garage".  I dare not even put a round-about dollar tag on it all. The only way I can begin to justify it is by creating. Finally putting it all to some kind of use. Sooo, there it is. And here I go. If I think something might be fun for someone else to try I'll blog about it with instructions and photos and such. It feels weird saying that because like most people, there's WAY more I can be taught than I could ever teach others. Anyway. See ya out there!

New normal

Virus's, masks, hand sanitizer, staying home, conspiracy theories, hoarding, facetiming, toilet paper shortage, the worst of incompetency from the very highest level, gaslighting, so much blind and deafness (though, not literally), smokescreens, bold-face lies accepted without explanation.... the list goes on and on. First and foremost though, this is nothing to be made light of. The meme's were a good laugh in the beginning, but they're stale and old now.   People are suffering, people are sick, people are dying.  Medical workers all over the world are putting their lives at great risk everyday, working to save and protect so many.   Grocery and essential store workers, truck drivers and delivery people are making sure store shelves are stocked so we have what we need. It's hard to see a light at the end of the tunnel.  Until there's a vaccine there isn't much "finality" in sight. People.  Oh, the people.  In so many ways huma...
