Jewells of Thought

A few years ago Hallmark debuted the ’27 Hour Day’ movie. I thought that was something I would not need to worry about. Yet here I am with so many irons in the fire and only so many hours in one day to accomplish certain goals within.

On top of these goals I have family duties which are also imperative and things I want to do. However, they take me away from my schedule. I got zero articles done yesterday, because once again I was at an appointment and taking care of some sweeper business for our sweeper and my uncle’s. Then I made a couple of stops on the way home for my projects to see what trimming would add and finish a couple of them fairly quickly.

This takes a little time. We took off yesterday morning at a quarter till 9 and didn’t get home until after or close to 1 or 1:30 in the afternoon. I did get a pillow completely finished and started on another one. This brings my total up to 3 once this current pillow is finally trimmed today. I can finally start I am excited about what I have learned with each pillow and level to each project it’s fun and challenging it allows me to use my creative juices in a new dimension.

The downside is that it is also summertime and the driving back and forth and waiting at appointments and getting in and out of the heat has been working on my body all week. Last night I was thoroughly exhausted, before I realized I hadn’t made my Father’s Day card yet. I was all ready to and set up to make it and yet was so tired and uninspired by creativity to work my magic. A couple of ideas did stick out, but it also requires cutting a few more pieces out which will be the next step for the card.

I have always been like this I can’t sit still. I can always find something to do I may be sitting picking out weeds or researching for an article or but God has given me so many ways to keep myself busy with fun and necessary work to never have idle hands. That’s the reason I have already had carpal tunnel surgeries on both palms. I am very much like the women who have surrounded me growing up. It certainly makes for less dull moments and you never know what will happen next.

I really don’t think my boyfriend truly understands how comical and busy our life is around here. It’s hard to accurately portray this to him via a text message. Our phone calls haven’t been connecting long enough to actually talk either. I blame the California grid, there really isn’t one due to the ‘Green Agenda.’ Although our connectivity here hasn’t been stellar recently either.
