Hands hurt. I was cutting book board this afternoon and my fingers are complaining. Yes, I'm making another book. An inverted cover "scrapbook" type thing that I can add/remove/rearrange the pages in. Once I get the hang of it, I may make another one for some material that I have in a binder that really deserves to be in a book rather than a binder.


I am FINALLY done cutting and making holes in bookboard. My hands are TIRED and will probably ache before morning. Smiley
Tomorrow, I'll start VERY CAREFULLY gluing the board to the bookcloth. I'm taking it slow because the posts a.k.a Chicago screws have yet to arrive. I'm not even sure that they're in the delivery pipeline. It could be that all that's been done "delivery wise" is printing out the mailing label. So they'll get here when they get here.


This project is nearly finished. If I can get the lining paper I want tomorrow, I can finish it. Then all I'll need is the Chicago screws which last time I checked still haven't entered the USPS system. Smiley  There are still some small details to add for "coolness" but the "heavy lifting" will be done.... until I start on the next one.....

Staying off of Facebook and listening to Two Steps from Hell's Invincible album hoping to keep anxiety at bay. It's crazy out there and I'll be really glad when Skywise is safe at home.

Afternoon.
Busy day so far.
We got to Greenwood and back without incident.
I bought a load of stuff at Hobby Lobby and my two favorite necklaces are repaired -- FINALLY. One thing they didn't have I'm going to order so I can finish "Stage One" of my book cover project.
Part of what I needed for another project arrived today so I'll be working on it around various chores.
But first, I'm going to see if the world is still out there and what shape it's in......

Well, I slashed my right thumb open with a utility knife a while ago so that kinda put an end to at least some of my plans for the day. Moonie is going to have to be my hands for the rest of the day to a certain extent. Peeling potatoes and food handling in general is hard when you have a bandage to keep dry and I have a doozy on my right thumb right now. I'm not worried about infection. It bled like the devil in the first place and in the second, I washed it thoroughly with much soap and water and the girls then doctored me with triple antibiotic and much bandaging. I expect it to be sore but not infected.

Took a nap which I apparently needed and I'm now taking a break from dishwashing since I can get dishwashing gloves on over the bandage.

Watching live coverage of the riot in Indy. It's closer to the PO than it was last night. At least Skywise isn't there but people he knows probably are. The loading docks can't be closed up but the rest of the building has a limited number of entrances and aside from the public post office in the front, no windows.
If this doesn't stop before he goes to work on Monday, I'm going to be a nervous wreck.....

Afternoon.
Beautiful day, cool and sunny with a breeze.
Back from lunch. The dining room was open so we ate like civilized human beings which was nice even with social distancing.
As near as I can tell so far, everything is quiet in Indy.
Now to get caught up.

The Mayor of Indianapolis has declared a curfew for tonight. I hope it helps.

The governor has called out the Indiana National Guard to protect state owned property in Indianapolis, assisted by the State Police.

Aside from finding out things like this and checking on people, I'm staying off of Facebook. My anxiety level is high enough, thank you.

So far, the curfew in Indianapolis is holding and while there have been a few arrests, all is quiet.
Hope it continues.

I'm extremely jittery and anxious so I'm going to head out and try to relax before bed.

Afternoon.
Gonna stay away from my Facebook newfeed today. Gonna watch a couple of shows on my page and that's it. I'm anxious enough as it is without watching what passes for news these days.

My scrapbook cover project is going well. It would be going better if the last parts I need for it would arrive!

Morning.
We've been to town and back already this morning.
Had breakfast in town. Had pancakes. I'll have to be "good" all day as far as carbs are concerned.
Now to calm down and get caught up.

I am caught up.
Facebook makes me sick.
I'll probably have a shorter friends list before long and I don't care.
I'm sick of the apologists and enablers for the rioters. It isn't about "justice" anymore, it's about senseless violence and destruction and lest we forget -- looting. Can't forget about getting free high end electronics.
I'm sick and furious and totally fed-up. I hope Trump DOES invoke the Insurrection Act of 1807 -- look it up! -- and sends the military in to restore order so ordinary people can put their lives back together and if some "Democrat" governors find themselves under arrest, more the better!
Rant over..... for now....

According to tracking, the Chicago screws I'm waiting for are in Greenwood in the process of being transferred to the USPS. The end papers I ordered from Hobby Lobby are in Oklahoma City and they're on the way. I'll be able to finish it up -- mostly -- when they arrive.
Then it will be on to the next project......

I'll be glad when the ego stroking/virtue signaling/empty gesturing is over. It helps no one but it DOES make sure everyone knows that you're "supportive" -- whatever that means -- and it doesn't require you to actually get out there, get your "hands dirty" and DO SOMETHING.

Morning.
Got the car back from the shop. Spirit is happy. She likes to relax in the van during the day when she's feeling a little overwhelmed.
Now to get caught up.

Painkillers in my future but I'm going to put them off as long as I can.
