Zan, my energy level isn't anything to brag about. Customer can't have the place torn up forever. That and I need a few bucks now and then....
....now is better.
I'm working for some very patient people, so that helps a bunch.

I might add that I left my job Friday with a big tub of thick, homemade chicken noodle soup. Yum! She is a great cook.
Life is like a helicopter, I don't know how to operate a helicopter....
I have a hard time with pencils.
Highup, I wish I had your work ethic then. I inherited my Mom's. LOL. I think my problem is getting started. I need to work on that. It's great when customers make food for people. We used to give people fresh fruit from our garden when they did work for us.
Friend's ex was hitting me up on messenger late last night with total BS about how my friend wanted her back but she was confused bc he wasn't answering her. I fwd some of it to him and he said she's absolutely nuts. He wants nothing to do with her now. She was getting jealous that he helped a female friend (female friend just left an abusive relationship and he helped her put together a bed for her kid). He told her she has no business getting jealous when she was messaging him from another guy's bed. She kept whining to me and I finally told her she ripped the bandaid off and couldn't put it back. The bridge was burned & that if she truly cared about him, she'd let him go and move on. She said she's happy with the new guy. My friend marked his status as single and already has 5 dates lined up.
Took my friend to get a bathroom cabinet from FB Marketplace. Sellers originally came from Montana. They'd gotten the cabinet for $300 on wayfair and it was smaller than they'd expected. So they sold it for $60 and were renovating the bathroom. The husband showed me his water filtration system and said where he got it from. I looked at the brand and will be looking it up shortly. They chatted a bit about home improvements but it got too cold outside so we parted ways.
Got the cabinet in, ordered some pizza. A woman my friend dated very briefly was the delivery person. She jumped into my friend's arms and wrapped her legs around him when he said he can add her back as a friend on FB now that he's not with the jealous gf. It started raining ice so we decided to head home before it got worse.
I got food for Mom and now i'm under a pile of cats and dogs.

Went to the store. First time I have been anywhere since I fell. Knee still hurts getting in and out of the car.
Only thing I've ever used for pain is ibuprofen. What's your poison?
Can't use ibuprofen because of my kidney disease. So it is Tylenol, which does nothing or tramadol, which I have for arthritis. Most of the time, I don't take anything.
From a woman's FB memories. look at the date.
There have been illnesses that cause loss of sense of taste and smell before. I lost my sense of smell for a few months before when I was sick. Made changing litterboxes a lot easier but food didn't taste as good.
I decided to be honest with my friend's ex and break it to her that she blew her chance with him, they don't have anything in common (aside from having had physical attraction), they weren't happy together, and she can't expect him to take her back and that he will never take her back. I told her to put herself in his shoes & think about how she would feel if he'd done that to her. I told her the relationship is not something that can be repaired at this point. He gave her multiple "last chances" and every time she hurt him. But, he realized the reason she wants him back-- new guy doesn't have a job or any means of supporting her financially. My friend just got his job back and as soon as that happened, she started wanting him back. She's trying to use him. She asked if she could move her stuff back into his house to "store" it. He laughed at her and told her No. He reminded her how many days she has left to get the rest of her stuff out. She cried and had a fit (which used to get him to cave). But he's not falling for it.
Friend called to talk on the phone. He's doing much better mentally & physically. His job is not making him work long hours. So long as he goes in and fixes stuff, they are happy with him. His boss is actually very sympathetic to him. He's got another puppy (sister of the one that died) and was going to give her to his Mom but his mom's boyfriend has Covid so he's not going anywhere near their home.
Went to the grocery store with my brother and stocked up on some stuff. Got a bunch of containers to store stuff in the pantry to keep mice out. Sometime this week we need to clean out the entire pantry, get rid of all the mice, and I need to put a new doorknob on the pantry (old one broke and fell off) to see if that will help keep the mice out. The walls are lined in metal screen so the mice can't get through there.
I finally made a good sauce for the tortollini we get from samsclub. Past sauces were too thin or too lumpy. This one was nice and creamy. I think it needs some more seasoning though, but I'm happy with out it turned out. I heard a tip from one of the kids on Kid's Baking Championship on how to thicken stuff and tried it. It worked. LOL. I whisked corn starch in to heavy cream and some milk and added a little bit of hot water while I had butter melting in a pan. I then poured the contents of the bowl into the pan and whisked it and added garlic salt then brought it to a boil. I'm sure there are better ways to do it, but I'm happy with how it turned out and Mom really liked it.
Found out my dog, Princess, loves stuffed crust from Pizza Hut. I gave her a small piece and she took it gently. Next piece I gave her she nearly devoured my hand. LOL.

Ammunition is really scarce.
Here is a little project I have been working on the last week or so.
Is that carpet?
I have seen some photos where Daris has done some really neat patterns like that
Its as fuzzy as it gets. I got a bunch of leftovers from when custom rugs were the thing. So I thought I'd use some of it up. will probably get started on another one tomorrow or so. I got maybe 2 hours left to finish this one up.
Stopped at Bi-Mart tonight. Only thing on the shelf with shotgun shells.
Big ones or little ones?

That one was a 3x4. That was the size the background color was. I have some pueces that are larger than that but we will see what happens when I choose a pattern.
I just skipped back a page. I didn't realize you had posted a photo.
Holy crap that's a piece of artwork.
And the best I can do is build a tarp setup to work under at the job I'm on.
The weather for the past 2 days has been rainy and the steady 15 to 25 mph wind day and night. The only place I have to cut materials is outside because the garage was made into a craft room.
Last summer I worked outdoors and was able to leave my tools and vacuum cleaner outside on the deck. I did this one other time back in the late 80s for the same reason.
