HAPPY THANKSGIVING / XMAS
GOT TONS OF PICTURES AND NO TIME TO WORK UP ANYTHING - IT’S GOOD TO BE OUTSIDE RAKING IN THE COLD. NOW THEY ARE FROZEN LEAVES. I HOPE EVERYONE HAS A GOOD THANKSGIVING. FOOD IS SUCH FUN AT TIMES, AND IT IS A DINNER FULL OF FAMILY LOVE THAT LIVES ALL AROUND MANY. HOPE AND PRAY FOR THOSE THAT DON’T FEEL LIKE THIS. IT MAKES ME WISH I COULD WRAP UP MY FEELINGS AND GIVE IT TO THEM. HAPPY THANKSGIVING AFTER A WONDERFUL SUMMER OF LIGHT AND SOFT WINDS. LIFE IS ALL AROUND!
Dinner was way good!
This one was too long, it would be better if I could set up at this site with editing program! These are practice pics. I don’t think I’m going to get as light and thin on the point as I should be for standard picture drawings. I do better at just lines for set up for this journal, but it takes two seconds!!!!! If I get rested, I want to draw until it’s out of my system.
Wish I had more filters? This pic is so so, I don’t have time much, I’ll try and find something else, but, the subject matter for the pic disappears as soon as I run it. I can’t run ¾ of my picture’s subject matter in here. One grey barn and one white barn have been torn down. I hope I can take more pictures in the future, but I have many pics I took this summer and I have to index those too!! It’s harder to force edit something, anything, than to have it happen naturally!
HOPE EVERYONE HAD A GOOD CHRISTMAS AND WILL HAVE A GREAT NEW YEAR. I’ve been way to much to do. The snow storm really took any free time away. I’ve missed important stuff! Really bad! I can’t get it together. I really have too many notes written in too many places to recover and I’m trying to do other things that are major needed. I don’t know when this will stop???? I’m ready to quit EVERYTHING!!! I went to my friends for Xmas. It was a really great time! Then I forgot to report my job - I just didn’t have ANY time to do anything. I was going back to use her internet (Library closed) and was early so I thought I’d scout a picture. I shouldn’t have. It was a boat loading dock and the way down looked slushy but plowed. So I went down. A winding trail down a bit. I got halfway back up and stuck. I don’t have 4X4 and a little compact car. Spin spin spin. I was there a good 2 hours trying to dig out. I don’t have a cell phone, but there were people around (or some, it was a deserted lake in winter). Warm out and melting and raining ice and rain. The birds took pity on me and started helping because I was about crying. It was my own fault. So I dug and dug and cracked and cracked for all that time. I do have a shovel in the trunk because I know I am prone to going places in the snow for a picture! I made bit by bit progress until I thought it was just one wheel, so I dug a long track for it ahead, cleared all the other wheels real good (the left sides were in partial dirt anyway) and tried again. I still was not visible from the road, too much brush. This time I changed and used LOW gear. Boy that worked better and I sloshed and slipped all the way up to the road. But I was too late to report my job. They were leaving. That is the second time I have gotten stuck on that trail and the second time I have got myself out. The last time it was deep snow in a part. What a mess out. I’ve gotten pretty much all cleaned up, except the trunk floor. I hope the new year brings some time off.
I went to work and again all it was salt on the road. Fresh salt! I got a bit more photo indexing done. I need most to get on a computer now. Did you see...it's a bit lighter at night! The sun is coming back! Will I ever get anywhere on my indexing. I may stop it or quit my job to do it. Tempting. I’m having a hard time with the cold. There is too much other things to do. I’m considering dropping TV all together…just so I don’t have to set up something else and can do my indexing!!! January to go. I actually did not fall asleep this year and watched the New Year’s Eve ball drop in New York. In the past I have a party or get together…very recent. I remember my parents, they always went out to a dance club. My mother always wore black and silver. OH OH wonder my corner tree finally lost it’s leaves. I was out 2-3 days ago raking last leaves in 40F. I’ve got to go shopping and make calls tomorrow. I hope to get back on indexing tonight, but I probably will be too tired. How can I work on something as important as that with a light head. When I got home form my last jobs I slept one day away…New Years. I still feel sick.
I've been way to rushed and it's gone on too long and too much work. They are cutting and trimming trees at my place...and all over town I guess. I hate that. I sometimes wished I could live furrther out of town. So I could go out somewhere and read or work. I'm so thin skinned when ever a dog barks or a kid screams it gets on my nerves. I try to use a CD player on white noise, but that hurts my hearing. I got a strange charge on my one credit card. I try not to use it, but sometimes it really does come in handy. But not very much because I don't get out of town much. And don't have that much to spend. I hope that changes. I would love to go clothes shopping. I am out of town now, I drive to work a bit. A week ago or so I was I was driving home from work at night in the dark. It was one of those nights that was close to 0 degrees, snow all over. The back way I take has many miles of a tared road that is not used much. It is a diagonal direction to my town and it saves time and miles. I just got done thinking worrying that...What if your car broke down now? I don't have a cell - I'm trying to cut my phone back for money now. I mean I couldn't take the cold. I did have many many tons of clothes in the car if such a thing happened. Well I turned down the diagonal long road to nowhere and all of a sudden a loud grating and grinding noise that didn't stop! I thought the car would stop at any time! I couldn't believe it. I stopped and the noise stopped...while the car was still running. It didn't seem to be anything with the engine but I couldn't tell. I got out and looked under the car, but I saw nothing. Back in, I moved the car, the noise started. I decided to drive 10 miles an hour down the road hoping to make it to the next cross roads hamlet. I did and I did make it home and the car's engine did not seem to have anything wrong. I couldn't get out and chase the car as it moved so I never really knew where the noise was coming from. It did lessen and then it stopped before I got home. I took it to the auto shop and they could find nothing wrong. I was expecting an astounding bill after driving that distance with the noise. They said that something may have got caught in the wheel, but they found nothing in the wheels or the engine. Brother. I had a branch do that one night, but I could see it under the car. Couldn't get it out, drove slow, and then it fell away. I enjoy driving home at night. It's restful. Things. I mean right in the middle of the cold winter, a little mouse runs across the road thru the snow, a deer crosses. One time something crossed and I couldn't tell what it was. Just out of headlights. What has stripes on it's flank? What moves in a very feral way deep in the night. At the time I thought Tasmainian Tiger, but they are not here or alive at this time! So I've explored most of the stores in this town on my off time and I am going now to work on photo indexing notes. I'm setting up steps around importing photos at this time. Also I have to set up steps to follow or refer to when I index new pictures. I have all my referal notes mostly. This time is way more to get ready for than the past when I had my old camera. I just set up my own steps then. But this cataloging program is hard in that you must know or build a work flow that is safe and will grow into the future. You must know about pitfalls and choose between many options, and learn the program good. You must have a good backup plan. A big mistake can really mess you up down the road. So I have tried to be as careful as I could. I hope to side step many dangers and pitfalls. I worry though that 100 % will not be side steped. I hope what I don't do right (if I've made a mistake) doesn't hurt me too much.Today I tried as quick as I could, but a job that was listed for my town disappeared one day after I looked for it…I couldn’t find my resume. I don’t like working anyway, even so I’m always working at what I like, in the way it seems it should go. I got another big blockage out of the way with doing the yearly chore. It’s still too cold! You dredge and dredge and it never ends, you think your foolish and your wasting your life...but then it all happens! You can't believe what you have done!
Now I have to work 3 jobs and I can't because of a back problem. I just don't have the breth to do it. I don't know what I am going to do. It's just this week though. I know my body, I can't work that much physically. I look like I can but I can't keep up the work day after day. I didn't work quite as much this year and all I remember is that I felt normal and healthy for a few short peroids.
Dinner was way good!
