Daily Dose - Tuesday... even though it is actually Wednesday now

Morning:

Well – I already regret taking that nap yesterday – it had to have been at least 3:30 before I could fall asleep and now I just woke up – it is 11:30 am… and it just started raining again – crap!!

Afternoon:  

What an interesting day this has turned out to be – first the rain, which was pretty intense sometimes, and I was a little edgy as I watched it pooling up outside the front door. I had a terrible time getting the water heater to kick in, so I didn’t have hot water until around 4:00 pm. The minute it got to a decent temperature I rushed to take a shower so I could get dressed and start trying to look like a human. The Sun came out and was followed by these thrilling activities:

‘relaxed’ a little bit

Washed dishes

Swiffered the bathroom floor – which brings up the question as to why am I not bald, considering that I sweep up enough hair in a week to make a full wig .

Put on real clothes - well, yoga pants and a tank top, does that count?

Drank iced cucumber/lemon water and looked at catalogs - Contemplated ordering a new “massager”

‘relaxed’ a little bit more

Ate dinner

Watched tv

Drank wine

‘relaxed’ some more

I’m out of things to say.

Evening:

A GHOST STORY – a couple of nights ago I was sitting in my chair watching television or a movie or something, when I glanced up at the window in front of me, the rod on the blind was swinging wildly back and forth. Strangely enough, this did not freak me out, even though I know damned well that neither the air conditioner nor the ceiling fan could make it move at all, let alone start swinging. The only thing short of an earthquake (which I would have felt), would be someone/thing actually hitting it.  The End.

Daily Dose... Monday

I don't know if it actually rained today - if it did I probably slept through it.

I wish I knew why I am always so tired on Monday, even I don’t consider working two days a week excessive – it’s not a physically demanding job, but there are times when it can get a little stressful, could be just the fact that I am trying to cram seven days of work into two days. Maybe sleeping all day is my way of celebrating that my two day work week is over. 

This is my favorite picture of me and my sister Kathleen. Friday was Kathleen’s birthday, this year I sent her a text message, I usually send her a card, and to be honest I think I only do that to aggravate her, she stopped speaking to me when I was going through the roughest point of my life – which doesn’t really surprise me. When she was at her lowest point I was there for her in every way possible – so why the hell haven’t I figured out that no matter what you do for people, they will always take the first opportunity to stab you in the back. But hey – I’m not bitter.

Happy Monday – peace and love 

Daily Dose... Sunday, Day 5

Well... this posting a blog every day thing is probably not going to work, I already 'blew it' yesterday; I had a little blog all set to go, only needed to post it before I went to work - and I totally forgot about it. And oh look!! There's a 'schedule' link in the settings column - I wonder what that does - uh duh!

So... here's a picture of one cat licking another cat for your general amusement, I have to get in the shower and get ready for work now - have a nice day.

Peace, Love and Blessings

Daily Dose... Saturday

Turning over a new leaf?

 I have decided that every day, I am going to make a conscious effort with myself. Not just taking a shower and brushing my teeth, but making sure I use all the skin care products and wear makeup every day. I feel so much better about myself when I have some makeup on, there were a couple of days at work last week where I actually felt pretty. I don’t think I have ever thought I was pretty, average at best, never pretty. But if I am going to get serious about this YouTube channel thing, I need to be able to look at myself without hating what I see.

Daily Dose... Working

 2014.9.17_Working

Have I ever mentioned that I hate working? Well, I pretty much hate anything that has to be done on a regular basis, like dusting and washing dishes; or takes me outside of ‘The Estate’ like grocery shopping, and working.

So, I have been trying to come up with some ways to make money that would essentially make me happy – I actually have it written down in my daily affirmations (that I should be repeating daily, but am not):

·         I want to earn money using my talent and creativity

·         I want to live in a safe and nurturing  environment

·         I always want to have a secure income

·         I want to be in a healthy and loving relationship with someone who adores me

·         I want to be spoiled, pampered and loved

·         I want to go through life always having full and total confidence in my abilities and myself

comunque  (Italian for anyway)  – I thought at one point that I could make money at this blog, but that is obviously not gonna happen with only two followers *sheesh*, and I would have to add ads, which I personally find annoying when I try to read other people’s blogs with these stupid things spliced into the context. So – good news is, I can continue to randomly prattle on with this venue since nobody reads it anyway, bad news is that I still need to find a reliable income source that doesn't take me out of my comfort zone.

The second idea is of course the one that I have already started and invested a ton of money in, and that would be making jewelry.

This of course would involve me actually making something – unfortunately I have fallen completely off the artsy fartsy wagon since the last semester I was in school – and now my worktable/desk looks like this… which now that I think about it, is cleaner than it was last week. 

So it will obviously take some cleaning up before I can even sit down – plus that, most of my projects right now are repairing previously made items, which I do not find enjoyable in the least. All of my listings on Etsy have expired, and I even though I am considering posting some stuff on ebay, that site needs a major amount of ‘tweaking’ before I would probably use it. But – that’s an option. I NEED TO MAKE A LIST!!! There are so many things I need to do just to get that kickstarted.

Soooo…  my other idea – which really is pretty harebrained, is for me to start a YouTube channel. Technically I already have a channel under the guise of ‘The Video Virgin’; even though I started it at least a year ago, I haven’t posted anything so far. But I thought it would be nice to do some tours of the area, festivals and local attractions, plus some on subjects that interest ‘funemployed’ senior citizens such as downsizing your life, small space decorating, and cooking for one, and online dating (of course). This would probably be a great idea if it were not for the fact that I despise looking at myself in pictures or mirrors, and I can’t stand the way I talk – my voice has a sarcastic tone that I find especially annoying!! So I predict filming will be pretty awkward. I need to start practicing talking to myself – which is only hard to do if I actually want to talk to myself, any other time I’m prattling on to myself all day long. I need to start describing everything I do out loud and not just in my head, in order to get comfortable with the camera – and do some test filming to see how ugly I am on camera – ugh!

But in the meantime, I will do what I seem to do best – getting ready to get ready – I already have my notes, lists, and post-its project underway, so now all I need to work on are elocution, and not looking scary on camera.

The Daily Dosage

Monday 9.15.2014_Daily Dosage

Yesterday I thought that I should experiment with posting a blog every day just like I make my daily entries everywhere else.

 Let me explain that – I have a mini diary program on my phone and a journaling program on my kindle, two handwritten journals, and notebooks full of thoughts and ideas everywhere. I write, in some form or other every day.  The daily posts don’t have to be the long-winded novellas that I usually post – not saying that I won’t be posting them, after all, I have at least three of those in the works right now – just saying they can be as simple as the little words of wisdom that I post on facebook on an almost daily basis.

And, of course it has taken me two days to get around to posting one tiny blog – this should be interesting - Namaste.
