I DID work on my Jamestown strings - a very little bit (maybe 6 blocks worth), and I DID slice and dice a little bit.
Hoping to do better today - won't get all my goals done - but anything is better than otherwise!

Ta Da for Week 28 - WB 07-19-14
Oh my - nothing new - or at least not much!
I DID work on my Jamestown strings - a very little bit (maybe 6 blocks worth), and I DID slice and dice a little bit.
Hoping to do better today - won't get all my goals done - but anything is better than otherwise!

The Reason why......
The reason why I haven't been blogging the last couple of days............
My son came over Tuesday after work and got my tiller started - fresh gas - the whole thing! YAY!
Of course, this meant that I had no longer an excuse to not till - so I did. OMG! Am I out of condition! I am by NO means a lightweight - in fact I have 35 more pounds to lose (I've lost 40 pounds already! Two years ago!) and have been bouncing around on the scales + or - 5 pounds and generally on the fence about the whole thing. Still and all - when I was running the tiller I felt like Linus and the Security blanket in the Peanuts cartoon strip! That tiller ran wantonly all over the place and whenever I would finally get it to turn the corner, I'd go whipping around it just like I was taking flight!
About that time, my back decided it was time to kick in and make itself felt. DEFINITELY felt! To the point of tears! Son came back over when I called him to start the tiller again (it doesn't like me!) - and finished the last little strip! At any rate I told him that HE could keep the thing over there! And NEXT year I was getting either a high wheel cultivator or a Ro-Ho - both of which are NOT machine driven but people powered and both of which I can handle - probably with less pain! Nathan, being "modern" and very mechanical and machine "more power" minded, was not impressed!
At any rate - after tilling I DID get my potatoes in before it rained (just a spit and fit rain), showered, ate - and fell asleep right after I medicated my Widget cat! At 8 PM, no less! AND slept until 8 AM Wednesday!
After medicating Widget (morning insulin) again, I was outside again - weeding strawberry plants, planting beans, and generally leveling out the soil in the big garden as well as the strip garden (4' x I think it is 40' long). Came in, showered, straightened house, sat down - and woke up 3 hours later!
Geez! would like to think it is all the fresh air! More likely - it's all the Tiller Trauma and bending over! All I can say is - I sure wish I had invested money in those back patches! I'da made a mint by now! Just on my useage!
today - it's back outside for a spot of weeding (strawberries! and I have a hunch that it is either woodbine OR it's P***** I*y I'm pulling! Ugh! woodbine has 5 leaves, PI has 3 and this has either one!)
After weeding - it's planting any root crops, brassicas, salad crops. NOT planting peas this year - too late I think! NEED to plant corn now - but really chilly out and I'm not fond of having seed rot in the ground!
More later! Who knows - I may actually take pictures!!!!!

| Sigh! Remember when the grass was green and there were green leaves on the trees and flowers were in bloom? |
That one'd be wrong, however! Yes, I essentially keep things picked up. Yes, I am working on a quilt or two ... or three or four! Re studies..... well, moving right along...... (I am taking a course - Citizen Police Acadamy - not a game - but the real thing - as long as you keep the CITIZEN part on there!)
The point is - I NEED goals! Goals are something to strive for - maybe not achieve all of them, but achieve enough or enough strides towards them that I keep moving forward instead of drifting - something I am quite good at, btw!
AND - goals help me to NOT play Criminal Justice games to all hours of the morning.

I do truly hate it when I delete everything I want to carry over BEFORE I can do a copy paste on a new week! Urgh!
Fortunately in a moment of absurd obsessiveness, I decided to PRINT OUT (novel thought, that!) the OLD goal post last week in the insane hope I would finish everything on there (I DID finish those items indicated - then read the rest of the time! Was great!!!!)
I have as of yet to get new pix. The days we have had snow - have been overcast - so difficult to see decorations! Will try though!

I tried it - BUT......
 |
| One of two bridges going from north Westfield into Westfield - the main part! Picture taken by my holding the camera up with fingers on button and randomly taking pix (hopefully without my fingers in the way) as I drove! |
Yes - I will continue the weekly goals post. NO I will NOT continue the daily goals post - that is MY problem! BUT at the END of the day I can post what I did and didn't do - on the weekly goals! And as for a daily post per se - just post those things that were interesting (to me!) or fun (to me!) or were bothersome or whatever!
All this is in an attempt to relieve the ever burgeoning boredom that tends to go with my posts!
Yes - I will continue the weekly menu post! Also the stash report and design wall.
All these things were in an effort to GET ME GOING - and then to KEEP ME GOING! and FORWARD - NOT backward! Did it work? Yes and no! It made me aware of what I was doing. It also made me aware of areas I have been, if not ignoring, doing my lily-livered best to ignore - and fairly successfully!
So - then - what to do? Several possibilities....
1. Accept that I can and will ignore those areas - and just accept that and go on.
2. find ways to make those areas MORE acceptable and do that
3. Change from what wasn't working to what MIGHT work
4. Continue with what I was doing and just hope for the best
And I am sure there are other possibilities as well.
Re what I view as possibilities.... - the first and 4th really aren't that acceptable to me. we don't grow within if we refuse to accept the idea of change or refuse to strive for growth. And inwardly I need a LOT of growth!
The second and third possibilities really are different facets of the same thing. find out what WAS acceptable (what works) and change the areas where things aren't working (what doesn't work) to something that MIGHT work (making more acceptable).
Then too - change itself may be a key - sort of like jumping from one diet to another - it is the NEWNESS or jumping on the bandwagon for specific goals that is what's working - NOT so much the thing itself! At least initially - it may work, even though ultimately over long periods of time the word would be No!
Housework - pretty much a given as far as I am concerned about what is SLOOOOWWWWW about working! Flylady is fantastic, so are little games I play - like Flylady Bingo, beat the timer, Need to do this before I can do that, - things like that. And they work! Mostly! Still after having belonged to the flylady.com group for eons - I still remain a member and periodically I go back to ground zero and review over everything. Admittedly I don't have as much decluttering, changing attitudes, or whatever to do as I used to - and I know it works! for the most part - this IS a fairly peaceful, unstressed place - excepting my study and the dining room which I do NOT want to discuss at present!
So - maybe I can explore possibilities on this blog and see what can be done!

| Sign of the golden arches! LOL - this is my 3rd home away from home! Grocery store is my first, Walmart is my second! |
Riddle!! Why is it that a house that has only ONE person in it can become a total disaster - and I DO mean total disaster! - when that person has a nasty cold or does not otherwise feel well?
Yesterday I did get a lot of pickup/clean up things done - despite showing only one item on my list - but had to have a 3 hour nap (which is short compared to the ones after surgery and with the worst part of the cold hanging in there at the same time!) I mean since I was sleeping most of the time - WHO turned this house into total disaster????
BTW - I want to buy stock in the Kleenex corporation! I should make a mint!
 |
| Pumpkin block! I removed the areas with the Y seams since they either puckered or dimpled and were driving me crazy. Not wanting to be committed I thought it would be better to go for simpler! This is the result. HOWEVER - the stem COULD have been smaller (I think it was on all the others!) and the block COULD have been centered more - a lot more! This was the block i kept at home. Others are GONE and on their way to the swap hostess! |

And it's ..... SATURDAY!!! Hooray! WAIWO 11-02-13

| My favorite trees - outside my apartment building |
I'd like to blame it all on the cold and my boob surgery - but, honestly, I can't! Let's just say that if wiring was all that was needed to light up all the holiday lights for Westfield for the holidays - and that since I'm the one who ate something like 2 pastries, 2 cups hot chocolate, and 4 doughnuts and was considering a 5th - then I should have the lights up and running - for the next TWO years - at least!
Am about to head out and take some pictures - mostly because I am totally T-bored with everything I have. Not that these will have to do with flowers.... but - there IS a lot of other scenery... isn't there?
Have found - it is REALLy hard for one person to take pictures - especially since weekends are heavier traffic times - and almost every place (excepting for this tree) has NO WHERE you can really stop and take pictures! Re pictures of the college - there were events AT the college (football game) and at Stanley park across the way - both today! I had NO idea how the pictures turned out - until now - especially since most were drive...hold camera outside window with one hand.... hope a lot!..... and take the picture and keep on driving! So - we'll see! NOT done - will continue to working on taking pictures as time wears on, I think.
STILL haven't made up my mind on the setting for Holy Toledo - but am thinking of Barrister's block - which is VERY VERY similar to Bonnie's! Still would like to put this on point - but honestly - I don't have any of the same kinds of green I used and I'm VERY jealously hoarding all the rest of the greens while waiting for the mystery!
GO AND DO
DONE go take pictures of sites in Westfield
