Mostly kitchen really, cleaned out the frig, rearranged the cupboards a bit, do the stove, mop the floor. lol did I mention I hate my kitchen? No room to put anything away, I've seen walk in closets bigger than my kitchen. ( Read more... )

Today she was learning how to sing the old Mocking bird lullaby (she made me sing it over and over)A little while late cuddled in my lap I heard her singing very softly " And if that monkey bird don't sing,mama's gonna bye ( Read more... )

Ok I've gotten to the fed up stage with the whole damn rib thing. I seem to be generally ok during the day, some pain but functioning anyway, and then evening hits and the muscle spasms come on like gang busters (Renee busters actually) Mattie suggested maybe the weather was affecting me, as soon as it starts to get cool out I start to hurt, great ( Read more... )

Geezus, Some of you know some of you don't. Awhile back I had some trauma to my ribs, (koda jumped on me, while I was on the floor landed square on my back) Anyway nough background, been in pain for awhile.

Working on a set of vambraces now (Pam's tip of the month)as a prelude to doing armor. ok so far the results are: I cut it (easy) I designed the engraving on it (relatively easy if a bit time consuming) I heated it and shaped it (surprisingly simple and fast) Glued a form of stiffener backing to it (not bad) Now we get to the time consuming bit, ( Read more... )

Here I am, l.j. lurking and no one is saying much. hmmm... If nothing is really going on in your lives, could you maybe make something up? You know just for entertainment. I'm trying to distract myself here.

Enjoyed soft rp night, the players were really on their game and the role playing was terrific. They worked on several little puzzles that had been bothering them and we saw some really good team playing. Working together always helps, its true for a larp as it is for a table top. Mike Chaos persononfied some of the npc's and did a great job with ( Read more... )

Gonna try and get some work done today. lol got my kitchen partialy cleaned up anyway. God if that is a ( Read more... )

Bloody hell, I'm stiff, sore and generally feel like someone beat the crap out of me. Forced myself to go out anyway, paid my insurance (had to get it in on time you know)stopped at Hobby Lobby to get needed supplies (they didn't have what I wanted),felt so ill at the store (not to mention disgusted with their selection)had to leave. Was gonna make ( Read more... )

sooo... well... hmmm... Kinda just there, been a week. My mood is down, but easily reversed. Staying positive takes an effort really, good friends help quite alot. Activitie helps, but I find I have to work up the strength and stamina. Lots of things going on that of course I can do nothing about, so trying to take care of the things I can do ( Read more... )
