Block 5
I just couldn’t go to bed without making another block. I’m not too sure how I feel about it. I am trying really, really, really hard to have a wide variety of light and darks, purples and greens. I am so very bad at getting stuck into ruts and I don’t want all the blocks to look the same. I want variety. I’m already getting stuck on that and this is only block 5!
My back is now killing me. I really need to get some kind of set up that is economically correct. I was sitting in the computer chair and that did not work at all. The folding chair actually provided some relief and that just seems wrong. A big part of the problem is my sewing table. It’s a regular dining room table and it is too high. I really need to start working and raking in the big bucks so I can get my sewing/exercise room situated. My younger self (and I’m only talking two years or so here!) would not believe that I would desire or have any use for either a sewing room or an exercise room. My how I’ve changed.
Now I’m wondering if I should go to bed or just wait for Mike to get home. I have no real reason to wait for Mike to come home. I usually go to bed and sleep soundly whether he is here or not. In some ways I wish I could say that I just can’t sleep without him, but I guess I was on my own long enough to be just fine when I’m all alone. I am a little more nervous living here than I was living other places–I even dead bolt and chain the door whenever I am inside (even if Mike is here!). The news is so depressing. There’s a lot of murder and rape that goes on. There’s at least one a day. What kind of world are we living in? Luckily none of that has actually happened in the area we are living in (or at least it doesn’t make the local news). Still, why not lock the door when it is such a simple precaution to take?
I’ve decided I am going to try to get back into using ICQ. I used to be such a complete addict–over 200 people on my list, a constant conversation with at least six people at a time. Life has changed a lot. I just set it to come on when windows loads up so maybe I’ll remember it and can more easily communicate with people. My number is 7302146. The name should show up as Caleyna I think.
