@Ava: Oh, hello Ava! It sounds like you're set up to have a fun day today, after having a wonderfully relaxing morning!! What color are you getting your hair dyed? - anything fun?

I have some graphics to do today. And I'm procrastinating doing them for some reason. :(

@Wildfire: Makes sense about FB. My husband got eaten alive anytime he posted or commented on anything political. I made One comment once to disprove a political post that I knew with all my being was incorrect info. I remember wording everything nicely and pulling sources [so I wouldn't be eaten alive]. Anyway, my friend who posted the false article called me names. That stuck with me for such a long time. Someone I knew most of my life disowned our friendship over something so silly as a comment on a FB post. I think that's when I got turned off by social media. People disown you so easily over the internet, but they wouldn't do that if you were sitting in the same room discussing the same topic. Anywho- I got my social media opinions. o3o' Lol, even though I have an active account on most social medias. XDD
I think you did good by having made your secondary account.

@Koah: Yup - that's it exactly. I was spending far too much time writing, researching, footnoting, and defending any comment I made... and I got tired of the bullying and generally juvenile antics that became somehow acceptable overnight. So... yeah... I'm pretty much done with it. And there are so many better things to do with one's time and energy! :3 The second account seems to make sense, but it's not the same experience (which is both good but also somehow incomplete...)


@Ava: Doing just about anything the last year or so has been difficult! Has this stylist done your hair before or is this a new one that you're trying? The color sounds lovely. I hope it goes well for you and that you're happy with the outcome :3

I have started doing the graphics work that I need to do, so yes, it's a nice feeling knowing that even if it's not done yet, progress is being made and the project will soon be off my plate. I really don't know why I'm procrastinating doing it - it's not an onerous task to do!

@Wildfire: I understand completely. I think we have similar opinions about FB.
I disappeared for a while to buy plumbing items. I called the plumber and no one picked up. I saw their truck downtown on my way to the store. I'm sure they've got their hands full with the building that's being built down there.
I know that I got the right items at the hardware store because an employee asked if I was looking for anything, saw I was holding the tools, and went "OOF, we've all been there." and I asked if he recommended anything in particular and he just said "nope, seems you got it all."

@Koah: So it seems :3 LOL at the hardware store employee comment... but yeah, we've all been there at one point or another!! XD Good luck.

I had to bring hubby to pick up his truck, so I was gone for a little bit too. BUT, I got two of my graphics done earlier today - they're nothing special, but they'll work. Now I have some code to put together but I have a bit of a headache, so that may not happen right now.

@Wildfire: heyy at least you got the graphics done. c:
My plumbing adventures failed. So husband called me from home depot asking what he should pick up since I've been working on this almost all day. =3=
I don't look forward to the next step of this annoying task.
I've learned so much about plumbing today.

@Koah: LOL! I'm so sorry you're learning more about plumbing than you'd like to, and that your efforts have taken a good part of the day and not had the success you'd like to see!! What is the next step - keep trying on your own or have you guys decided to call a plumber?

@Ava: Yeah...not all stylists are capable of dealing with different kinds of hair, unfortunately... which makes you wonder why that is or how that even happens - they went to beauty school, right?! I hope this one works out well for you when you manage to get in for your rescheduled appointment. I hope your auditions went well - that's a good reason to miss the hair-dying session! :3 <3

Yes, I got my graphic done, thank you. It's not exactly a masterpiece of art, but it doesn't need to be one.

Good morning and Happy Saturday to you!

I have a couple of online things to do today, and then I should probably at least think about cleaning up the house (vacuum, etc.) - the dog toys and dog hair seem to be everywhere again, which is usually a pretty good indication that it's time to clean XD Other than that, I'm not sure what my day is likely to look like. Right now, I'm just trying to drink my coffee and wake up some...

@Wildfire: Good Morning.
We called a plumber. We narrowed it down to probably tree roots. and the plumber himself was expensive. -sigh- but tree roots have been confirmed.
He's coming back today to finish the job and probably pump the septic and take our money.
We're staying positive. Making light fun of the situation. We're back to struggling for a bit. Nothing we're not used to.
My dead blueberry plant is making a strong comeback though. I checked on it today and it's got a new set of leaf buds that weren't there 2 days ago. c:
I need to make coffee and maybe try and lure the husband awake by making bacon.

@Vixen: Good morning.
I'm doing ok, thanks. It has been a weirdly busy day so far.
How are you doing? Are you doing anything fun today?


@Koah: Oh yeah... tree roots can cause all kinds of mischief! But at least you have an evaluation and hopefully, a solid fix underway!
Bacon... that's a good lure! XD

@Wildfire: The trees we've been talking about cutting down, need to be cut down as they're the root problem.
I haven't heard from the plumber yet.
Today is going to be lazy and hopefully a little bit productive.

@Koah: They're the root problem... with the roots... being the problem... XD
Same here, I think, for today - a little bit lazy, a little bit productive. We'll see, I guess :3
Hubby and I got breakfast out this morning, which was nice. Now, he's outside supervising the washing of his car and I'm puttering around online and trying to work on an illustration but it has been a little on and off so far today - I keep getting distracted! OH! Speaking of distractions and art - are they still taking submissions for that photo contest thing?? I'll have to go check...

@Wildfire: I love a smooth pun. <3 c:
I think the event threads are still going. o3o I'm not 100% sure. Hopefully, though, I'd love to see what you'll submit.
My husband bought some wood carving tools yesterday and I wanna use them at some point today.
I have a desire to clean the house too since I feel dirty from all of the plumbing issues. =3=

@Koah: It was a good pun. Very clean. Unlike your shower, apparently XD <3
Yes, they're still accepting entries until a minute before midnight tonight. I was just looking at the frames, etc. I think I'm going to do something - probably take your approach to it -relatively quick and just for the fun of it- but need to figure out what I want to do

Voltie Posted 4 years ago ( 2021/05/1 17:48:05 )
You're also making me wonder what happened to all the wood carving tools my son had. He's not doing carving any longer, and if he's not using them, then I want them...

@Wildfire: lol, I can't even clean my bathrooms until the plumbing is fixed. meh.
Oh please do put an entry in~ so I don't feel like the only one that rushed a fun piece in. XD
Good luck finding the wood carving stuff. I think my brother hijacked my leather tools a few years back when I was in the middle of moving around the entire midwest. XD lol

Voltie Posted 4 years ago ( 2021/05/1 18:27:44 )
@Koah: LOL. Nope... there is no way I am even going to try finding the wood carving stuff without him here. His room is ... a crammed messy mess! And he might want to keep them for himself, although really, he is keeping himself far too busy to do anything with carving right now.

I'm working on an entry. I don't think it's possible for me to a super duper quick fun entry, but I"m trying!!
