October Fun

After doing some cleaning in my office on Thursday, I spent the bulk of the night immersing myself in music. I took out my guitar and was terrible, but that's OK. I also took out my trumpet, which I haven't done in a long time. I want to get back to it. I also sang along to some songs like Black Velvet and Creep. It was the best evening I've had in awhile!

It probably sounds random, but I've switched to the ukulele path on Fender Play for a bit. Who knows, perhaps I'll prefer it to guitar? I'm almost mid way already. I might have ordered an electric tenor one that is due to arrive this week...

My finances are improving. I was approved for a line of credit, so I'm able to get rid of one credit card or reduce the amount down to keep it as an emergency for necessities. As soon as the line of credit is active, I should be able to move my balance from my main credit card to it at a much lower interest rate. And we're still in an interest free status on student loans, so it's looking up!

Aside from some much needed items like some car repairs and a dental crown, this line of credit may help me with my publishing goals, so I'm really excited about it!

I brought some boxes to donation this weekend and I'm slowly reclaiming more and more space in my condo. It feels great!

On tap Sunday was a cemetery walk, a Hallowe'en market, and B-movie night and I enjoyed all the spooky fun :)

I have no idea if they're relatives, but this plot was right outside my parking spot.

I meant to post this yesterday, but it was a long day. My Lehanu tenor ukulele came three days early and it's so much fun! Nearly halfway through the lessons, I found something hard that I'll stick with for a bit.

2020 Vision

Mostly, I’ve been planning for the new year, but I discovered I know Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. It was a recollection under the influence that brought this to light. I also discovered I still suck at drawing, but I’m okay with that. I used to think I had to be good at everything, and I’ve realized that’s just not so. Some friends and I recently hit up a local board game pub. It was a pretty fun night. The first game was Balderdash and I was terrible at it. Because I was the writer in the group, some of my friends thought I should be more embarrassed about it and hide the fact that I don’t spend all my free time learning advanced vocabulary. But I’m not upset about it. Why? Two reasons: 1. I now know what I don’t know. 2. If one takes a close look at the top selling novels on the market, the level of the language used is not the level of many of the words in Balderdash. Not that I’m comparing my own work to those, but audience is what matters in writing. To me, it is far better to e...

2024 - Week 9

The week felt really long.  Arts & Crafts My calendar was looking quite packed, so I wasn't sure if I would get the time to reclaim my crafting space or not. Luckily, I had Friday afternoon off because I have some vacation I need to use up. I've got time off every Friday in March and I'm looking forward to it. I began reclaiming it on Thursday, so I could relax more on Friday as I had that earmarked for reading and relaxing. On stream, I began sticker bombing the doors of my media cabinet. One has dinosaurs. Another has games and music. Door three has neon stickers. The final door will have pride stickers on it. I didn't get started on it. I also ran out of stickers, and had to wait for more to arrive. I'll be working on it more during the week and I will likely not finish it on stream as I'd like to get my doors back onto my cabinet as soon as possible. The craft is a mix of fun and frustration. Decluttering & Minimalism I took it somewhat easily this w...

Change is in the Air

I've been making a lot of changes lately around my home and some of them might seem a little odd, but they're making me happy. One thing I've done is taken apart my dining table. I never eat in there or have people over to eat. It was just another horizontal surface that would collect things like receipts, odd screws from various projects, and countless piles of paper. I had been frustrated because of the clutter it encouraged, but also because I didn't have a space for my Yamaha keyboard. I had been trying to use my keyboard in the living room, but it felt too cluttered and it wasn't sitting at the right height. With it now in my dining room, I was able to relocate my storage bench, which happens to be the perfect height to sit at while playing my keyboard. I now have much more breathing room. There is still a lot of mess to handle here yet, but I'm making solid progress. A lot of people suggest the bedroom is the place to start when decluttering, but I haven...
