My first post in the new squarespace digs. Woo hoo!
I had a really great lunch with my mom today. She sent me an unexpected email this morning asking if I wanted to meet up today. Unfortunately, I'm kind of doom and gloomy and automatically think she must have some bad news for me - something that she needs to tell me face to face. Nope, she just wanted to give me a ticket to Dad's company picnic on Saturday (all the cotton candy I can eat!).
Bonus good news - if they buy a new flat screen television, I'll get their "old" one which is fairly new and HUGE. My tv died shortly after the move and, while I have an extra tiny one, I'm not going to turn down a gift like that. We also talked about what else I would need to pick up/replace when I move and it was such easy conversation. Like a relationship wasn't even involved.
It's weird to talk out loud about moving into my own apartment when Rick and I haven't even talked about it but as my friend Ginny said, I've already checked out. My mind is made up and I'm pretty sure he's on the same page but it's too stressful to think about talking it over with him right now. I know there would be fewer tears this time than last but it's still hard to point to the end of any relationship - especially when the end is still several months away. So, for right now, I'm going to work on keeping my chin up as much as possible and, like I said, work on making me happy and getting myself into a good place before the move.Speaking of making me happy - I signed up for July's Pink of Perfection Project which is to create and post a list of things that make you happy. It's something that's also on my 101 in 1001 list and I think this is the perfect time and opportunity to get it done.
On to the fowl portion of this post - I made the little guy you see on the left for Chris who had commented about wanting to raise urban chickens. It's a really cool idea but he's probably as close as either of us really need to get to having chickens on our property.
I'm really going to take care of my next camera. I carry this one everywhere but not in a case like I should and it really takes lousy photos anymore. Or at least it takes really lousy photos of things that are white. The white stripes on the scrapghan in my last post practically glow....
I started making a market bag out of sheet I bought at a thrift shop but work on it has been put on hold due to the fact that working on it Sunday night nearly killed me. Today is the first day I've been able to move my wrist without pain. Seriously, crocheting with fabric is HARD. I think the crocheted containers I made last week were easier because the material was kind of slippery. The bottom of the bag and the few rows I started around the edge look pretty good, though, so I'll get back to it eventually.
Okay, so far so good. Posting photos is a little different but I'll get used to it. At least I was able to get through the entire post without loosing it....
