The Road To Hell....

Is paved with me saying I'll try to post daily...yeah, right.
So here it is October 1st.
So I'm a procrastinator. Maybe that should be capitolized? Am I spelling capitolized correctly? Is it the other capital? So many questions.

Anyway, Here it is October 1st, and it feels like it. Chilly, leaves changing.
Autumn used to be my favorite season. It energized me, made me feel more alive. The crispness of the air echoed the crispness of the leaves as I shuffled my feet through them, which echoed the crispness of a fresh apple as I bit into it. Ah, crisp Autumn! Apple Crisp! Yum!

My, how things change. Now Autumn is just the precurser to Winter...which I dread. Cold, Bitter, Biting, Freezing, Nasty Winter. Take a breath and your nostrils stick together kind of cold. NOT something to look forward to. Not me anyway. Maybe, if you ski or snowboard or iceskate, or actually LIKE being cold, THEN you might look forward to Winter, but alas, I do none of those things, so Winter just sucks.
And, because Autumn comes just before Winter..it sort of sucks by association. It never used to be that way before, but it sure is now.

That being said, let's get back to why I'm here. What I intended for this blog initally, was me, rambling on about different subjects. I still intend that. But maybe with a more or less specific intent. I think I'd like to write about my jewelry. Since it's what I do. So here's the plan: I write about my jewelry, what I'm making, how I'm making it, the steps I go through...and I'll just go off on tangents when and if I feel like it. Like now.

I don't know if I'll actually get around to making any jewelry today. The kitchen still looks like a bomb went off. I need to get all the stuff that's out of the drawers back into the drawers. I need to make the lasagna that I didn't make yesterday. I need to make my bed, do laundry, try out that new spray cleaner on the tub. And let's not forget that bottle of DIF that I bought a year ago that I finally brought upstairs. It's looking at me. I hear it calling to me. For anyone reading this, who doesn't know what DIF is, it's a chemical that's used to remove wallpaper. You score the wallpaper, spray on DIF, and then start scraping. I've been meaning to do this for more than a year...to the bathroom. The wallpaper is disgusting and has probably been there since the house was built. I want it gone. But after my kitchen cabinet fiasco, my hands are still complaining. Not as loudly and as unrelentingly as they were on Friday, but they are bitching at me just the same. I think they are saying something like, "You stupid twit. Give us a break already! You better listen. You know how we swelled up last week after you abused us? Well...(heh, heh, evil chuckling here) You ain't seen nuthin' yet!!". So, I'm thinking maybe, I should listen to them. At least today, and not do anything to piss them off.

Jewelry will have to wait too. If my hands won't cooperate to scrape wallpaper or scrub the tub, they certainly aren't going to be helpful doing delicate beadwork. I guess I'll do something that takes less precision and inflicts less abuse. And to be completely honest...this typing I'm doing is making them none too happy either.
