Another Project – Text
This was a putsie project involving the text. Point of it all was to make the text follow around the dog. I got it done, but not sure it was such a big deal. I am thinking I made the text too small. It was fun to visit this snap shot again and find some [...]
New Software – New Hardware
I have had a Wacom pen tablet for years and had a love hate relationships with it. I loved what it could do and I hated the fat nib. My employer recently bought a newer version and today I have been working on getting used to the differences including the wonderful small nib. At the [...]
Decision Made for Me
My baby chick debate decision has been made for me. I started my order late, and then took too much time debating the small flock charges. In the meantime others snatched up the best birds. Today over half the breeds I had planned on getting are gone until May. Since I like to start my [...]
New Year – New Look
One of the things that my blog host, Word Press, does is supply an assortment of free blog layouts. Designs are all styles and formats to support the different focuses and styles of blogs. Some are design to show off photos, others are conducive to the written word and every combination in between. Changing [...]
Chick Dilemma
I have already wait too long to order chicks. Three of the breeds I was hoping for are sold out until May. I wanted to start new chicks the last of March or first of April. So I picked my breeds to make a minimum order, then got to check out and choked. It [...]
Another Use for Duct Tape
Our house was built by a fella we call the “Deadbeat Idiot” (DI). He built much of our house with what he could bring home in his lunch box. It was cobbled together and half-finished in so many ways. We have had to have the plumbing redone; the wiring cleaned up. Ten years later you would [...]
Familiar Grounds
When we packed up our kitchen and planned for time without a sink. One of the things we did was bring in some dishpans we had in storage. Almost immediately our cat curled up in them. She had spent time in a shelter before we adopted her. They used dishpans as cat beds. [...]
Kitchen Part 2
In the spring we added new cupboards to our kitchen on the west wall that had none. Now we are replacing the existing cupboards, adding a pantry and a desk area. The existing cupboards don’t look too bad, but when one looks close they were bottom-grade builders stock glued together, particle board construction. The [...]
Happy Place with Christ
A friend and I were talking about the power of the mind, mediating and visualization of your happy place. She shared hers with me; it was looking into the face of Christ and him touching her shoulder (apologies to my friend if I don’t have it just right). It was so cool to listen to [...]
Migraines
I am a migraine suffered who’s most predictive trigger is the barometer. It means I can predict weather better than any well-school meteorologist. I have all the common migraine symptoms, throbbing severe one-sided pain in my head, nausea, and light-headedness. But my most difficult symptom to manage is the audio sensitivity. I don’t crave a dark room, like light-sensitve migraine sufferers. [...]
