I started writing up a Facebook post this morning and got three paragraphs into it before I was like, this would make a better blog post, because I’m really going off the edge here. So, hey! Blog post! Re: the senior picture thing going around. I moved out of my …
So. Hey. How are you doing? I’m running the gamut from totally fine to completely tharn. I’m just going to assume that you are, too? Psst — come closer, I have a secret — that’s OK. It’s OK to not feel OK right now. (It’s also OK to feel OK.) …
Granted, mostly what I read was post-nuclear war fiction, and not pandemic/epidemics. But still. Alas, Babylon and Farnham’s Freehold were my two favorites. Babylon was set close to my area in Florida, so I always felt a connection of “holy shit, this is what I could do to survive” with …
Day I think it is because it can’t possibly be the 12th: the 2nd. Day it is in my head because I plan so far ahead: the 23rd. Number of times in the last week the steering on Truckenstein gave out: 1 Number of dudes it took to maneuver Truckenstein …
We used to have a thing we said in our department when I worked at the Enginerding company… when everything is important, nothing is important. I feel that way right now – everything that’s on my list is something super important and shit needs to get done… so I think …
For those playing along at home, here’s the current state of the union. Over the last couple of days I’ve transferred all my photos taken from 1999-2018 to my laptop (poor thing is very, very full now). I don’t need them all, but thought it was easier to transfer everything …
So, instead of doing my Patreon posts today – or at least two out of three of them, I did get one done this morning although technically it was due yesterday – now I’m sitting at an odd angle at my rolltop desk with a very, very fat cat on …
I got so much done yesterday it’s almost ridiculous. I packed up preorders. I packed up soap club. I uploaded all of my work social media for the week. I went through my website and added two categories, reworked the front page of HaldeCraft, and went through a few pages …
It’s gonna take me a while, though. (I actually took that screenshot a couple of days ago; I’ve gone another 9 miles since then and am only 10 miles away from Old Man Willow.) Only 1800 miles to go! Yay! Those Hobbits sure were a lot faster than me, though. …
The heat is melting my brain, y’all. And I was writing a post about how hot it was, and what I’ve been doing the last few days, and then the power went off — between the house AC, the studio AC, me firing the kiln, and then Cetty and Joe …
I call it multitasking. Here’s a typical example… I’m on the treadmill, I’m watching a documentary (Unseen; about a serial killer in Cleveland who had previously spent time in prison as a sex offender and had been let out – deemed “low risk” – and then he went on to …
Lately I’ve been on a rant (I know, when am I not, right?) about those memes that go around… I know you’ve seen them… they all say something along the lines of “here’s you” (small dot on the page) and “here’s all the good stuff that happens way the hell …
The rest of the story of that road trip Sharon and I took going on two years ago now. Did I ever blog about our week-long trip to Disney with Aunt Gay and Uncle Joe last fall? Some new things at work. New products, updates to old products, discontinuations, new …
I’ve been storing photos on Flickr since… gosh, I don’t know. 2005? Earlier? … although it looks like Instagram may have stopped talking to Flickr sometime last year. Hahah, whoops, I should get around more often. For the most part, once I started using Instagram for work, Flickr was where …
Dear Goddamn Diary; Let’s have, as my friend Becca says about her knitting sometimes, a “come to Jesus” moment. We need to talk about your future. I don’t want to be one of those bloggers who posts every couple of months and the first paragraph is all, “whoa, what’s happened …
Helllllllooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo What the heck, you guys. Time. It’s like a flat circle, like a frisbee, and someone just flung it out of my reach! August Lots of new tortoise activity around the property (Gramps went missing and at least two new tortoises moved in)… lots of blacksmithing… Amanda brought me …
I feel like I’m working in hiccups these days; fits and starts. Part of it is the weather. We’ve been getting hella rain this summer, and there’s at least an hour a day when our Internet doesn’t work because it’s satellite internet and can be hobbled by heavy southern cloud …
…. ah, shit. It’s Saturday, isn’t it. Well that pretty much sums up my week. I haven’t really gotten much work done this week, but I have arranged travel plans for the Florida Fiber-In, for NecronomiCon, and for a week-long Disney birthday trip with the fam. So I’ve accomplished things… …
I never liked naps as a child. I mean, who *does*, right? You could be up doing things and grownups want you to lay down? What’s WITH that?! There’s stuff to do! Books to read! Playtime to have! Dogs to play with! Swimming pools that need splashing in! Who wants …
I’m writing another blog post, but it’s taking longer than I thought, so I thought I’d just spew forth a quick one instead. I found out yesterday that an old high school friend, whom I hadn’t seen or talked to in close to 30 years but I have always thought …
Sunday I had a “fun” hangover (it’s when instead of too much booze you’ve had too much FUN the day before, and you’re exhausted and unmotivated) and then Monday morning I had to do all the social media stuff for the week for HaldeCraft that I usually do on Sunday …
The lecture series I took earlier this year (even though it’s only March and I feel like “earlier this year” is too early to be a thing). Some of it was very interesting – the lecture with the guy who mostly sells just through Instagram, by posting and saying “DM …
I’m in a whirlwind of trying to catch up with work and home, and so many pictures to share here, or on the work blog, or on Facebook with family… I’m really running around like a chicken with my head cut off this week. Yesterday was devoted to reclaiming the …
Yesterday’s Jacksonville trip was somewhat successful. I got a few new glazes and a couple of tools and some new clay to try out… but they were out of the clay I usually use, which means I’m going to have to go back in a couple of weeks. — All …
