Okay. Eyes are complaining. Time to get away from the comp for a while. Later.

How very true. Which is why I'm hardly on it anymore.

Oh, and hi  Smiley

Hi, hon! Smiley I'm having to be VERY stern with myself about it and I'm trying to cut back. There are a few profiles that I MUST check every day but once I've done that, I try to stay away from it.

Skywise is home and I'm heading out. He has to leave early tomorrow and if we're going to get anything done, we're going to have to hit the ground running.

Everyone sleep well and be safe. Smiley Smiley

Skywise left about 90 minutes ago and I've been working on the larp and the storage unit. The larp is going better than the unit. I noticed something "odd" about it yesterday and today I got both of the sides up on the sawhorses side by side and it was obvious that there was a problem. The shelf supports on the side I did second don't line up with the ones on the side that I did first. Since the supports on the first one are correct, I'm going to have to take the supports off the second side and do them over. Fortunately -- sorta -- the glue isn't holding all that well on the plastic laminate coating on the sides so all I have to do is take the screws out, pop the supports off with a screwdriver and reposition them, apply glue, clamp them, drill new screw holes and put in the screws. Smiley Not all that difficult but a bit time consuming and damned annoying......  Smiley

I've been filling in forms for the larp. My eyes are killing me so I'm going to get prone -- which the knees will also like -- and rest them for a while.

I realized that I'd left something important out of the larp and I've been correcting that. I got some of the package deals filled in so I am making progress. Anyway, dinner is over, Skywise is home and I'm heading out.

Everyone sleep well and be safe. Smiley Smiley

Smiley Morning. I'm not awake yet. It's cool -- so far -- and I think the humidity is going up.
I need tea.

I've been plugging away at the larp, filling in one table after another. And the more I work the more things I realize HAVE to be included because if I don't things that I've already included won't make sense. Yes, this rulebook is gonna be in excess of 400 pages. Smiley
Also asking myself how would I take over the world if I had around 500 years to do it. The things a writer has to think about....

Yeah Sita!!  Good to see you! 
You two are so right about facebook.  It's a definite time-suck :/  I try to use it mostly for good, missing people, missing animals...  It's still the easiest way for me to keep in touch with all the different people I know though, so it's a necessary evil.   Without local tv here anymore, fb and twitter are the best bet for local news including emergencies.   

It's been a busy week.  The youngest turned 19.  He is enjoying his last summer of freedom before he has to "grow up"  Our roof has been done!  The cedar shade looks so much better than the grey did!  Not too light, not too dark and it sets the brick off nicely!  My latex allergy is working over-time though :S  Every time the house heats up, all you can smell is rubber :/ .  I know it's just a matter of time before it wears off but it really takes the energy right out of me. 

I'm really hoping that I'm winning the battle against the rodents because I  haven't caught a mouse in about 5 days now.  I'm sincerely hoping it's not because they've gotten smarter!

Morning!/Afternoon!

We had to make a catfood run so we took off early this morning. Yeah, RT. Facebook is a necessary evil. I use it to keep up with my out of state friends, keep tabs on my favorite show (Agents of SHIELD), local news (mostly weather) and some other pages that I'm interested in and heroically resist the urge to check all those pages every five minutes!

I'm half drowned but my hair is red. Skywise said it was time and Spirit left a dye applicator on my bathroom vanity...
So I broke down and did it!

He brought me a Milky Way which I am eating at this very moment. I haven't had a full size Milky Way in a long time....

While we were in town, I got more pvc pipe for the window well drain. I'll probably be working on that this weekend if it doesn't rain or as soon as we hit a stretch of dry weather.

I got two more tables filled in for the larp last night. They were MUCH easier to do than the price lists which I'll be getting back to when I feel the need to numb my brain.....

I've been working on the larp and since what I was doing didn't involve a lot of brain power, I did some thinking.

Being a caring, compassionate person has a serious drawback that no one ever mentions and that is that there is limit to how much "compassionate caring" you can do before other people's "stuff" starts clogging up your system.
I think my system is clogged. Almost to the breaking point.
So, except for some entertainment sites and a local outfit or two, I'm off facebook. Not going to watch the news: local, national or international except when I need to keep track of the local weather. Going to be damned choosy about which blogs I read -- lots of excess drama on some of them -- and just generally be an antisocial hermit for as long as it takes. And it may take a long time the way I'm feeling right now. I'm going to get out in nature even if it's only sitting out in the yard listening to the birds. I'm going to get my target set up in the back yard so I can start shooting again. I'm going to say "the hell with other people's drama!" and let them find someone else to listen to their bitching.
I'm going to build things, learn new things, create things -- books and and a larp -- and eventually get back to where my capacity to care about what is important and relevant to me and my life isn't buried under the manufactured drama that I'm "supposed" to care about. If I can't do something constructive about a situation, then I'm not going to concern myself about it. And let's face it, there is a HUGE amount of "stuff" out there right now that "everyone" is screaming that we "SHOULD CARE ABOUT!"
News flash: I'm "cared" out. "Light and Love" will be sent when I can spare it but only then. I'll be here on Sanctuary while I'm doing all that -- this is "home" after all -- but I'm done with drama and "caring" and "listening" and all that "stuff".

"Not my circus. Not my monkeys and most DEFINITELY NOT MY MONKEY POO!" is gonna be my mantra for a good long while. Or until reality changes, whichever comes first!

The rain's stopped. We had a nice gentle rain for most of the afternoon and now I'm sitting here with the back door open listening to the bugs of the late summer night. Very peaceful.

Afternoon.
Oh joy! Oh bliss! Oh Smiley! We just got home, Skywise turned the engine off and..... nothing happened. The engine kept right on running....
He checked a few things and finally pulled a plug that shut everything down and when he put it back the engine didn't restart. We're pretty sure that it's the ignition. *sigh* The shop is closed until Monday so we'll have it towed then. Hopefully, the bill won't be TOO much....
