current life
I'll be going to a class in North Carolina from May 24-June 7. (the same school where I took my glass blowing class two summers ago) I'll also be taking a class later in the summer, Aug 10-22. If I get into the ones I have as my first choice, I'll be doing "the basics of steel smithing" and "hot summer fun" which is glass blowing. My girlfriend is also applying to take the classes with me. If we get in to the same stuff at same time and with some sort of scholarship, we'll get to have a bit of a learning vacation together. Won't that be a real blast! (not like it wouldn't be fun on my own... that would just make it amazing!)
This semester I've decided to skip any credit classes and instead focus on taking classes of stuff I want to learn. So, I'll be taking beginning glass beadmaking, beginning stained glass, and glass slumping and fusing basics from a local place as well as some belly dancing. My girlfriend and I will be taking a course in couples massage. :) I'm totally excited about all this. It's all non-credit, so no stress, and low-cost. Most of these are evening classes starting around 7pm.
Whenever I have energy, I'm working to get my house under control. Things are feeling okay today... I've really been fluctuating high and low lately. Today I'm up and working on cleaning my room. Hope I can get it done, or at least mostly done before I swing back down to the low end of my spectrum.
* house plants aplenty
* somewhere to sprout and grow baby garden plants
* desk drawers organized
* laundry basket placed in such a way that I naturally throw my laundry into a basket rather than on the floor
* dresser of clothes easy to get at when i wake up
* empty table to put together puzzles and play simple games with my girlfriend
* bookshelf organized with paperbacks
* videos and dvd space since I moved the tv, vcr, & dvd player in here
* floor vaccumed
* organized space for my knitting & crochet projects
* everything else OUT
* ? pets - ratties and hedgie in my room???
Yesterday my mom paid Shae to come and clean our kitchen. (what an amazing gift!) It had just gotten to the point where I was unable to get it back under control. It was simply too much. Now it's clean. I'm much better at keeping it up than I am at catching it up. Hopefully I'll be able to maintain it for a long while.
I'm close to caught up on laundry. Need to put away the folded stuff and that should be about it... maybe one or two more loads of the stuff that's straggling around in the mess of other stuff. I even managed towels, sheets, and blankets. :)
I have my daughter's room under control. I have more to go in there, so that might not last, but I have the potential to keep it organized. She loves having it nice and clean and does a lot to help maintian it luckily.
That's it for now... maybe will write again soon.
