Hoping that this February storm is what could be called the crux of winter. We're on the down hill sloop and on our way to Spring. I've had enough cold weather let alone snow. I want to get some work done and can't as long as it's snowing. Need outside space to cut wood. Had a good time preforming at the Br00mfield nursing center. One of the old gents asked me if I could play "Going Home", I could almost remember it, I'll play it next time. The more I have to work with stresscos program the more I want to go job hunting. It's going to really slow us down and lose us customers and we're going to get blamed for the lost business. I'd really love to know if I can read minds. She's not too far from the other side, so pale and she grabs the nurses, but when she took my hand, it was soft and gentle and I thought I heard a "thank you, lovely music" but she can't talk. That's why I go back each month. Playing for their Sweetheart social was a ball too. Played for a full hour and was appreciated. Dad goes for his NICET 4 next Saturday. Finally that milestone will be past and supposedly they'll be a raise. R's wanted it for years.

Another week goes by

More overtime for R should be a nice paycheck. Trying to go the gym everyother day, still not working out. Quit DUP got tired of feeling like I don't belong. Was looking for a service orginazation, not a "sit down and read stories about stuff in a museum, " group of people that 3 years later I still don't know. Relief Society doesn't serve mankind, DUP doesn't either, still got a void. Back to making slipper, quilts and sock dolls. Sewing rooms a disaster. Got a very lovely jungle quilt done. This one might go on sale to finance others. WANT MY QUILT MACHINE BACK, studios a constant dumping ground. Stressco came in to start training, yikes they use an OLD unix program called DejawinT, I feel like I'm stepping back into the stone age, I think pen and paper would be better than this program. Slow, stupid and not the least be friendly, You can't even use a mouse inside the program. The computer gods are laughing. Am playing for Broomfields Sweetheat Dessert night Thursday, "Endearing Charms went together in 3 days, I'm amazed. Just with I get happy with ""You are my Sunshine" Miss Skyping with Joe and kiddos. Cold and snowy Sunday, Going to pack up the photos prepitory to a "Pizza and Photo Party" I give up.

Sunday Morning

Listening/watching Spoken Word. Thats another pipe dream. bad pun. Had T&K yesterday so D&A can get ready to move. Quite some very bright kiddos. K was singing I Am A Child of God all by himself. Not everything was understandable, I figured it out and when we sang it the 2nd time, he told me to let him sing it alone the 3rd time and Gpa could understand everword that time. R's got much overtime this week, looks like a mostly dead weak, could use one. Getting fustrated with computers and photo albums and guitar. Need help. Not sure to ask. It's winter R's getting nose bleeds. Not much yarrow in the bed, just enough as always. Want to spend a day in the sewing room and get quilts done and clean out fabric. Never enough hours.

Saturday Jan 9,2010
I understand you shouldnt grouch about your job on these sites, but I think I'm going job hunting, stresso named JoeG Head sales honcho and I aint sticking around to see the mess that potheads going to make. Dad's been cleaning garage found a bunch of Commodore 64 games, ah to have a Commodore 64 unit and play rat race again. Interesting guitar lesson, teacher has us change our guitar strings to electric strings, less tension on the strings, same noise, no pain on the fingers. It's weird, but cool. Dr is getting silly over my blood numbers, Dr Lee says its all good, just Rx reaction. Gotta get him to talk to Dr A. Cannot believe, Daisy Bell came together on the HD in just over a week. I think I'll wait till next month to incorporate into my HD program at Broomfield Nursing center. Back to taking milk baths weekly, my kidney's unhappy again. Back to the gym, miss it, trying something different, hit it right after work, maybe this will work.

New Year

Larson Loonie Byne
First Sunday of the year, Church starts at 11am, leaves a strange gap in the morning and then the evening, bu it might just be right to get the photo albums finally together, but I think I'm going to have to hollar for help, my memories still got a lot a holes and I'm not sure it's going to get any better and I want those photo albums put to the right THIS YEAR. I want to spend much of this year learning bluegrass on the dulcimer, but this biggest one is a new job and get out of debt. Got a lot to do this year, want to go cross country skiing at least 2 times, would like to replace the carpet upstairs, need to get a new patio cover, would rather put on the dining room instead, again money, just never enough. Want to make quilts, need to loose weight, want to de-junk the garage. Starting a guitar class Monday, trying to learn chord progression, it's never locked in. R's got to take an Auto-Cad class in March every Friday night, gonna leave a strange hole in the week, think I'll offer to babysit. Wanna do something besides play piano in church. Sometimes I feel like I'm in-actively, active. I only go to church to take the sacrament, if I wasn't playing piano, I'd go home. No other reason to be there.

Day after Christmas

Definatly got to find something better to do with Christmas Day. Christmas Eve with the kids was wonderful, Lori's party was great, fun and everyone helped, but the 25th after the flapjacks were done and so were the kids we got bored. Watched TV, tried to go for a walk, tooo cold. Gotta find some cross country skis, the snows perfect. Finally figured out how to make a sock doll with "one" seam on the serger, I want to make a bunch for next year. Gonna back down on the parties, didn't even get cards out. Didn't get visting teaching done...yet. Many thank yous to write. Gotta get busy now.
