We have been working on replacing our roof. The roof had way more problems than we realized though we should have expected it. We did buy a house that had been abandoned for more than 12 years, that had been gutted as well.  This home improvement project is taking a lot longer than expected (don’t […]

Since I work for a food company, which I do not name on my blog, I am deemed an essential worker. I have been working more than 40 hour weeks for so long, I’m burning out. But, I still have an income, so there is that. On the other hand, hubby had a quit or […]

Today we celebrated the youngest’s birthday by going to Ultimate Pizza. It’s a really cool buffet with games and rides and a laser tag place among other things. When the kids and hubby were playing laser tag, this is what it said on the scoreboard. A dear friend used the name Tidal on the MUD. […]

I’ve been having issues with work. I did end up back mostly in the job I had back in January when we were told that our jobs were moving. However, it was a long circuitous route, and it took about 6 months for that end result. In the meantime, since I suffer from depression, that’s […]

Just a note since I’ve been struggling. My job went away again, and I had to find something else internally. I finally did, but it was a stressful 2 months. Later this week I’ll post a video of the Rube Goldberg machine my youngest made for school. I kept putting it off because the setup […]

So, I had been doing well at making sure that I wrote at least once a week here.  Then life happened.  I started focusing too much on writing on 750words.com instead of actually doing any productive writing – as if writing here is very productive.  All it does is get out the thoughts that are […]

So, I’ve been spending a lot of time working on my crochet projects lately. I’ve actually had to repeat the same projects over and over, since I have a bunch of people I want to make them for lol. I’ve got dishcloths going, and towels with crocheted toppers. I’m actually focusing on being able to […]
