not going to miss another day
I missed writing in this thing yesterday, possibly the day before. I don't pay enough attention to calendars to be sure. it's because I was painting. I did two marbled boxes friday and a sparkly one Saturday. I had to go out early in the morning for more paint and then in the afternoon for groceries, so I didn't start the sparkly box till evening. Damn thing looks like crap, LOL. I masked off the ribbon where the edges weren't straight and even and I'm adding a silver border against the ribbon. I still need to very carefully cut along the tape edge so it pulls clean but I'm hoping I'll be able to gloss that all in and get a spiffy result. I can't be selling boxes that look a child did them.
I think menopause may finally be coming. I went into perimenopause almost 20 years ago but when I got my health improved it backed off. I'd been having all the symptoms and even found some illegal estrogen for HRT since asking the doc for it would have been fruitless. I find the black market and self medicating just works better for me. I just don't find doctors know enough about even their tools let alone my needs. So I was getting the vertigo, the night sweats, the mood swings, etc. I still get too warm at night but I find it's because the tiny loft warms up so much and it's always actually warm. I haven't had a hot flash since going paleo, in fact. actually, my whole heating/cooling system has worked really well this last year and a half. My monthly got erratic back then, and stayed erratic till I got the thyroid meds and iron supplements and improved my health. Now it's going erratic again with pretty much skipped last month except a brief staining. this time it's here for sure but too soon to know if it's going to be usual or sparse. I sure would like to be done with that nonsense!
Dan's mom got an iphone so we had a nice facetime this week. I want to see if I can facetime with her while I make a pie with marizpan crust. I don't know how much cooking she does anymore but I'd love to show her my tricks. I think she'd welcome a chance to have sweets back in her life without getting sick over them. I really should mail her a box of chocolates! I really ought to. How many do I need to make? Maybe a half batch is enough, maybe even a dozen from the current stock?
Thing is, from decision to action is always a shockingly difficult haul because I get stumped at every part of packing and shipping things! Having to send bought boxes from Etsy could help a lot with that problem. Get me used to it, since I cannot be lackadaisical when people have sent me money to get it done. I really haven't a procrastination problem if anyone really cares about something. It doesn't' only have to be me that cares. Just one person who's counting on me and I'm on it.
The sky of late has been a forbidding grey, the trees whipping around violently and just enough rain to keep it damp while the cold artic air tickles all the plants to sleep. it doesn't encourage me to be outside but at least I don't feel guilty when I stay in and do crafts all day.
