It's Been Soooooooooooo Long!

I haven't blogged in such a long time that I don't even remember how to do it.
What do I write about?  Who is my target audience?
I live such a mundane life...we go camping in the summer, in the winter we stay home and play World of Warcraft most of the time.

I'm not a winter person, not much for driving.  I don't like shopping, as a matter of fact, I absolute HATE it!
I go to work every day, and when I get home just want to relax.  Sometimes I play WOW, sometimes I watch TV.  Most of the time I am playing Angry Birds on my Kindle Fire.   That game is so darn addictive!  I've got 2 of the games in the original Angry Birds completed with all 3 stars on all levels, and in the Seasons I am close to completing one of the levels with all 3 stars.  Right now working on the Halloween game, still have about half of it to get all 3 stars on.

I have some new favorite shows that I like, some are off season, others are still on in reruns.  These are Restaurant Stakeout, Undercover Boss, Storage Wars, and Bar Rescue.  Not sure why I like these,  but they are interesting and different from the usual sitcom and reality shows that are on.  One show that I absolutely do not like is that one with the little girl from the south who is in pageants.  Just too much attitude on her for a little girl, needs to be a little girl and not a small version of a smart-ass adult.  Just my opinion.

I hate getting old.  I've been diagnosed with osteoarthritis, and also have a multitude of other issues that I seem to take a lot of prescriptions for, but if I don't take them, I suffer.  Diabetes, Acid Reflux, menopause, arthritis, nervous stomach.  My doctor just took me off one of the meds I was taking for the menopause and night sweats because I was having some issues that were related to that one.  We will see if that helps, seems the one I was on causes  problems with short-term memory and concentration.  Hopefully those problems go away, since they were a source of frustration and problems at work.

Well I've whined and commiserated enough for now.  Maybe later or tomorrow or another day I will think of something really interesting to write about.

Toodles.

PHTD - or - Post Holiday Tree Disorder

Yes, that's what I have. Post Holiday Tree Disorder.

The tree is still up, but hasn't been lit since the day after New Years. The only thing stopping me from taking it down is the lack of storage boxes. They're still in the shed. And I'm not about to go out there after seeing the possum hanging around the shed a few weeks ago.

But not sure if PHTD carries over into other things, such as making new jewelry to put in my shop. Or taking pictures of the jewelry that I already made and getting it listed. The cold has done a number on my arthritis and my hands are so stiff I can hardly hold my pliers long enough to open a jump ring let alone create loops at the end of headpins or do wire wrapping. IB helps but also makes me tired so I don't feel like doing anything! I'm damned if I do and damned if I don't.

I need sun, warm weather, and a good old fashioned thunderstorm! Well, maybe not in that order, and not on the same day. But you get my drift.

I have so many beads and charms and other materials to create with, but no ambition or ideas, although I do have a potential order for two bracelets, and as soon as I get my bead order I will get to work on them. But I am trying to find my niche. Something that is me, not a clone of other things that are out there. It's easy to put a few beads on a wire or pin and attached a clasp or earwire. I want to really get original, but I don't know how or what.

I know what I have to do. I have to psyche myself into thinking that Saturday is Sunday. Because on Sundays, usually later in the day, I sit down and finally get to creating. Once I start I can't stop, but the problem I have is I have to get up for work the next day. If I make myself think that Saturday is Sunday, and get ideas and start creating late in the day on Saturday, I can keep going til the sun comes up because I can SLEEP ALL DAY the next day! Yea, yea, that's what I'll do. I could call it turning my mental clock ahead one day, but only until Sunday night. Otherwise I would go to work the next day thinking it was Tuesday, and be very disappointed when the payroll doesn't get here.

Oh, by the way, the picture...it's not me. That's my husband Russ, the "Ru" in "RuKar", after dinner on Christmas Day at my brother's house. The dog is my brother's white shepherd, Daisy Mae. But this picture pretty much sums up my level of energy the last 2 weeks.
