Second Tuesday Update 6-14-2022
My parents visited and I have most of a room free of boxes. Weeds were whacked. A nice rany start to summer is here.
started trying to do 2 streams a day and seems good so far? one short one at lunch and then a longer one after i get out of work.
an... thats about it.
Second Tuesday Update 5-10-2022
The weather here has been absolute crap. The nice weather seems to happen when I am out traveling.
I did get to do a little gadening on Mothers Day, so that was nice.
Watched some streaming and that... is pretty much my month. This is a weird time and it's like my sleep schedule is fighting for winter vs summer sleep patterns. Either way it kinda sucks until one wins.
Second Tuesday Update 4-12-2022
First, if you are planning any serious outdoors things or gardening go get a tinnitus shot. I got my 10 and i am going to nag my little sister until her family gets them.
Second, March was a relatively peaceful month al la my personal life.
I have plans for April that have been changed a few times already so I will asume that they will change again.
and this was published on 4-15 and back dated to 4-12
Second Tuesday Update 3-8-2022
. . . . well there wasn't much to talk about.
Second Tuesday Update 2-8-2022
Good new is for now, my desktop computer seems to be working. Unfortunately due to the supply chain and crypto miners the parts for a new desktop are far over priced. Hopefully it will be fine for a while or a few years.
I picked up a few new projects. A comic/graphic novel idea that was adamant until i wrote most of it down. I also picked up a few dolls to repaint for the main characters of said art thingy. One did not have adjustable writs so that is going to be a bit of a pain.
I don't have any of the necessary materials accept the acetone to take the paint off the face. They will need their hair re-rooted and i don't have any of that. I might just get a ton of samples and a tool from someplace to see just how hard it is. I do have a few 'extra' dolls that I can practice with so one small plus.
I am debating trying to make costumes or to drop more cash on pre-made things that more then likely wont fit. I think I might try sewing first. Hopefully i might be able to glue or use iron on sewing stuff to make the cloths? My hopes are not high.
*update 2-8-2022 because I forgot to hit post.
Doll customization is a money sink & I actually discovered that there are art supplies that i don't have.
I also got distracted from things with mushroom armor.
Second Tuesday Update 1-11-2022
Things seem to be... Being?
I gave the fonts on here a slight update. Just a little bit to freshen it up from the default starting settings.
The second round of holidays happened. Not much beyond that.
My area finally got snow that is sticking around. This is only good for my allergies and a few plants.
My town uses the county to plow so the roads are not the best. Fortunately working from home is an option for my company.
well... Thats all for now.
Second Tuesdays Update 12-14-2021
And then there was snow. I am never fully ready for the snow.
At some point I am going to be making a post about my mechanical keyboard that i got. It's not the best but I like it and trying to use the click click as a reward to myself. The squeak might drive me batty tho...
You know, assuming that I actually type anything with it. My family loves the feel of it but my mom & sister don't really like the sound. My dad didn't think the squeak was that bad.
My sister doesn't like the round key caps but she loves the colors.
Actually, the sound/feel reward for typing seems to work because this is the most i have typed in a long time in one sitting. I made a few other posts to social media and wow. Yeah this works for me.
Mechanical keyboard rabbit hole post will happen but... on to other things.
I was able to fill some gaps in the front deck/porch but not all of them. I really have to replace the steps and that will have to wait for next year. Most notably the draft has gone way down. there are still a few spots that I need to fill but it's an improvement. Baby steps.
The urge to paint some of the walls in my house is growing. but since I can't open any of the windows and I am not opening my doors to get a draft gonging, it's just going to have to wait until next year. The unfortunate bit is that the pink actually goes with the furniture bit I added and is starting to look good. but I can't stand it. That room is going to be a few shades of grey.
So! On to next month!
Second Tuesdays Update 11-9-2021
I had a surge of "need to do" and I moved a little furniture around. I also almost broke my arm because of physics and I did not plan for adjusting my grip on the shelving that I almost had to lift over my head. Yeah... It turned out good tho so now I just have to load it up with dishes and then... pick a paint color and paint the walls. After I take the thing down again.
I was going to paint everything first but then I just didn't.
Slowly my witch aesthetic is taking over my house. If only it would unpack as it went.
Blog related news, I have started a post and it is going to have affiliate links in it. I'm not sure how to feel about it. On one hand I have used said products and feel relatively good about linking to them. On the other hand... I can hear googles algorithm just biding it's time. Waiting in broad day light to either strike my blog down or god knows what.
Which... It seems to be much harder to have a new blog these days. Goint to have a post on that also.
I also started playing a pay-to-win fashion game on my phone. I spent so much money on the Halloween dresses. Well, so much money for me because I don't really like to spend money on games. Oh well.
So I was talking with my friend about how if I exercise for two or more days then it’s like my body goes into starvation mode & no amount of food will stop the hunger. Like, usually it would happen but not with such intense ravines unstoppable hunger.
And then yesterday I decided to track my calories and holy crap am I totally not eating enough.
So now I’m hunting for super extremely easy meal ideas.
This is less easy because.… everything that says ‘easy’ has like 12 ingredients and prep time. My ADHD says no. My grab & go instinct says no.
It’s funny because the last time I tracked calories a serving of chips was closer to 200-300 calories per serving. Yesterday I found out it’s now just over 100 calories per serving. Oops.
For now I think I will be adding back one sugary drink into the mix because hey, easy calories! Right up until I can find anything better that doesn’t have high fructose corn syrup in it. That crap just doesn’t do anything for me.
I also need to figure out a waist wiggle exercise program to do that won’t kill my back. Old back injury = ow.
And I need to figure out what part of the day is best for me to exercise because it used to be right before bed but now my knees are disagreeing with that.
Oh well.
late Second Tuesdays Updates 9-13-2021 (9-15-2021)
Well, I am still waiting on my car. The rumor from the dealership is that the part might be made and shipped out on 9-20 but i'm not holding my breath.
and then the weekend got away from me and that is why you are seeing this very short thing on Wed. Sorry.
Second Tuesday Updates? What am I thinking?
Chaos mostly. Let me explain.
I'm trying get any kind of schedule for both blogging and writing. I knew getting into this that it wasn't going to be easy. I have an old blog post were I Did Math and regretted it.
Honestly most of this had been out of spite at an old job. Surprisingly not bad spite. Just spite of the I-know-what-I-am-talking-about kind of spite. Scary to think what the numbers would have looked like if some life things hadn't have happened. Oh and the whole certain company getting sued because they didn't pay bloggers their less the $100 when they cleared out bloggers with out reason.
So! Second Tuesday Updates are going to be general updates. They will be a little out of date because *gestures at entire blog* precedence?
I might end up making a cushion of 1-2 posts just so I can laugh at my own hubris. Actually, that give me a really good/bad idea for another type of post that I could be able to buffer.
Maybe this isn't that bad of an idea?
Well... here goes something.
