Lovely boxes keep me awake

I stay up late putting one last coat of gloss on a box.  I lay awake thinking up new colour schemes and trying to remember them till morning.  Only "Lemon Chiffon" remained this morning but it's my next one!  But I have to wait, and stop, and do something else.  It's so frustrating!!!  I need to buy a new steam mop because the old one broke yesterday when I interrupted my painting to catch up on housework.  Every day sees 6 hours of daily chores over the day too.  I just want to paint.  I'm so in love with this project I just believe it will do well and I'm considering going straight to Etsy after the first dozen are done.  Seriously considering it.  I mean, I think I've just decided to do that.  It would be much gentler on my nerves, I think, than approaching local merchants of any sort.  Money could start coming into my paypal asap and we could use that directly for all the paypal stuff.
I need to research etsy and check the pricing structures.  If they're going for yard sale scale it's not enough.
Ok, so now I have to go deal with my fish pond if the weather permits or go on errands if it doesn't.

End of January, good news mostly

I feel so solitary tonight. Like, I want to just talk about things but there's not really an outlet. I went to the knitting group for the 3rd week. I was proud to show off my socks but they were ignored, except maybe for the dude who soon after went from sitting beside me to sitting across the room and table from me. Swiftly, much less. I found that move so pointed I just packed up and left. After all, I wanted to learn socks and I did.  This has me having to think more deeply about my desire for community vs my nerves. See, another thing I just figured out is what ails me. It's not CFS, or MS or another mysterious nervous system disorder. No, it's simple nervous exhaustion. I didn't realiize itcould manifest like this.With such a wide range of alarming symptoms. So I am now adding nerve system rest to my lifestyle. One way is to lay quiet with ablindfold, possibly knitting, or with ambient or classical music playing and no ads. Another is to mask the city noises ...

locomotive speed

I wanted things to pick up.  I guess I'm getting my wish. LOL  I've certainly made an effort to prod things into movement. So more appointments are booked. Turns out the cancer society/center folks are on my case and just powering ahead without worrying about if I get it or not.  I've got zero choice in appointments most of the time.  I expect I'm getting the ones leftover spare for emergencies.  I hope they don't collide at some point but then it's likely the staff booking are keeping track of that too? I cancelled the nurse for today and the stoma clinic 2 weeks away.  What the hell is a stoma clinic anyway? What more could you possibly need to teach me? From what I can see, I've got it.  And got it again. if not, google's been excellent including videos from other stoma patients showing solutions to things, volumes of forum posts with information.  I have nothing better to do than sit on the google.   I just think I very strongly need to...

Blog entry, water and tyranny

So I've been parked here since february. Going for water at the empty icbc building, being careful not to draw attention or overdo it. Then the situation over on the other side of the creek got ugly as local businesses decided to fight with their RV population. Who arrived here and parked at the icbc which used to be strictly policing the yard and now seem to have abandoned the building. A week after arrival this jackass is letting water run out on the ground so he can have nice sod to lay on (wtf?) and giving the others permission to steal electricity from the building. One person argued with him about something and he declares it's his territory because he was there the longest (not at all) and if they don't like it, too fucking bad.   This jackass is going to get the water cutoff at the least, get us swept and the local laws changed at worse and I haven't a clue what to do. I have run into this kind of bully before and they work strictly on the basis of cheating a...
