Arts & Crafts  I did not work on my cape at all. I did visit Michaels for some items I've been wanting for awhile like a woodburning kit. I also found this kit for $5 on clearance: I know Hama beads didn't work well for me, but I love Wonder Woman. I have no plans to make this anytime soon. Perhaps in the winter as it's very large and I'll likely want to frame it. Decluttering & Minimalism  My hats have been gathered into one clear bin. My music stand has been moved to another location for now, so I can practice more often. Gaming & Streaming  In Minecraft  this week, I finished my garage, I started several cars, I built an arboretum, I built the bulk of a museum, and I mined a ton of gold. Goal Setting & Tracking  Arts & Crafts: Get cape 50% complete. Decluttering & Minimalism: Place all headwear into one container. Get set up better to practice recorder. Gaming & Streaming: Build an underground garage to house my cars in Minecraft. ...

Arts & Crafts  This week's crafting plan was the cape for my Drag & Balls costume. A friend offered to make a part for me and my shoes came in the same day I was meeting him. I love it when a plan comes together! That's a common Dad Roy saying. Decluttering & Minimalism  I think I decluttered myself out of the wig I was going to alter for my costume. I'd be upset, but I'll have a better wig that is stylable instead. I don't regret getting rid of things I wasn't going to be using. The old one was from a steampunk Buffy cosplay I did very long ago and it was just plastic crap. Gaming & Streaming  I've started the currently last tier of rich soil for my vertical farm setup. This final level is for flax, which gives me an animal-free way to obtain wool for things. I'm not much for the effort that animal husbandry takes, so this is nice. Chickens would be nice to have for eggs. I'd rather help someone else get cows going for meat and leath...

Arts & Crafts  I started and stopped my costume due to how busy the weekend was. I visited a monthly craft group and I found it a better time than others I've been to. The vibe was chill and people were doing a wider variety of crafts. They had had a materials swap earlier in the day and I was able to get some goodies out of what was left. I got some yarn that is quite nice and I'm looking forward to making a sweater vest from it eventually. Decluttering & Minimalism  I've not made any progress here. In my defense, it was my birthday on Friday and all I wanted to do was nothing when I wasn't spending time with my friends. Gaming & Streaming  I've been making a lot of rich soil and changed my farm to a tower setup that takes up less ground space. I'm working on the flax level. I'm going to have so much wool from that without dealing with sheep. Goal Setting & Tracking  Arts & Crafts: Begin costume for Drag & Balls. Decluttering & M...

Arts & Crafts  I've been too tired to clean this room up, so I didn't get to it this week. But I will be starting my costume for Drag and Balls very soon, so it will have to get done. Decluttering & Minimalism  This video was one of the best I've seen on how to help a person with ADHD clean their home. The use of see through bins is more helpful than a lot of people may realize. Also, just by grouping like things together, it helps take away some of the hard parts of decision-making, it lets them see just how many of an item they may have, and it makes it easier for them to decide on downsizing items on their own schedule. Gaming & Streaming  My Minecraft  house and car. Also, the pub I've been working on. Goal Setting & Tracking  Arts & Crafts: Clean craft area. Decluttering & Minimalism: Finish door repair and reinstall. Gaming & Streaming: Just have fun. Lifestyle & Sports: Continue with physio exercises and play softball. Mus...

We have reached the end of the first half of 2024. Please give yourself a high five for making it this far. Arts & Crafts  I really haven't crafted much all month. I've been letting myself heal. And I've needed a break. But I will be attending a different group soon and hopefully that will be good for me. Decluttering & Minimalism  After watching tiktok videos where people put their beds in their closets, I felt inspired. My bed is too big for that, but my rowing machine folds up and fits nicely, so I was able to reclaim some floor space and move my bike stand. That led to me figuring out some other pieces and I've been making changes that I'm excited about.  Changes like dealing with the bathroom door that has never worked well. I'm switching to a bifold door that I have already. The only trouble is that it needs a little repair because the hole for the part that sits in the floor broke. Attempt 1 to repair this was just to fashion small plugs for it: W...
