I never kept a dairy till now Not good at this sort of thing So its goodbye, so long, adios Its time I said farewell.
Aww, come on Bill. I am sure not good either and maybe that's why I never started one. But I sure enjoy reading all the posts.
Okay, I bought a television last week.They are going to deliver and set it up next Wednesday. I also changed my internet provider from ATT to Cox Cable. I paid to much for the tv because I had to buy from someone who would deliver and install it. They also charged me for wall brackets I probably don't need and new chords. I've worked all morning cleaning my computer room (I call it the office.) I have a large desk, a desktop computer and printer. Then there is a big back up oxygen system I keep in one corner. On one side of the room I have a two foot by four foot table I keep my stereo equipment on aswell as two large shelf type speakers. On the other side of the room I have a two shelf stand I keep some other equipment on that helps me breathe when I'm having a hard time doing so. I also keep my portable oxygen on the stand. In the corner of that side I have a four drawer filing cabinet. Under the table the my stero equip[mentsits I keep a small portable peddler, you know one of those little things you sit in a chair and peddle with your feet like you are riding a bicycle, and in a box underneath I kkeep some rubber bands for exercising and I thinkl I have my shoe shine stuff also in that box. Everything is within reach so I don't have to exert myself getting what i need or want. Right now I 'm playing a Neil Diamond CD, "Home Before Dark." Another thing I did this morning is inventory my CDs. I had them, most o them, in a cardcboard box underneath my stereo.I take the CDs out of the cardboard box, there's about seventy of them. I took them out of the box, removed them from their plastic cases and put them into these CD holders. I sort of organized them by Country tracks, Jazz tracks, Easy Listening, some oddball stuff and finally Christmas CDs. I've got about ninety CDs. Now I can find one when I want it. I like to have one playing when I'm on the computer. Neil Diamond is still entertaining me. Sometime on a Sunday morning I play religious cds. The room looks better. Now all I have to do is clean off my desk. When we get the tele installed, we'll be back in business. Dear diary, I've had a good day so far.
I've been shopping this evening. Well, maybe yesterday evening since it is past midnight and well into this new day. Shopping and playing all the songs I know that my memory will cough up. Wanting to add a B key and an F# key which I've never had. Then I need a D to replace an old Suzuki brand. And I'd like to add a Low F. And, if I wasn't so old I'd buy myself a good Chromatic harmonica to play with. Well, those are my toys and it is how I waste time. Okay, I cleaned the office today. Pulled out all the furniture, swept and mopped. Cleaned off my desk, my stereo table, and hooked every thing back up, hiding all the wires and cables where possible. I threw out a couple of thirteen gallon trash bags of trash. Also had a nap this afternoon. Man, I'm hitting on all cylinders. Going to be cold tonight and I've got to go to the grocery store in the morning. So here's to you, wherever you hang out. Cheers.
I am a "Smooth Jazz" gal. But I Love the "Old Crooners" like Frank Sinatra and Tony Bennett. Be still my heart!!
I think I'm going to build a light box, find a couple of small lamps, buy a yard of white, sheer fabric and see what I can do. I want to take some photos but I'm not too active now days. You could say I'm lazy. But I have a couple of old cameras lying around here some place, and while I'm not up too often to go out hunting a suitable image to fire off a couple of shots, thought I might shoot something if it came to me. Little things, you know, like a fly, a roach, a black widow spider, maybe I could train a mouse similar to the one I read about in the Green Mile, if I tied a string on his leg. Well, back to the light box. Thinbk I'll see what I can do. Holly has inspired me. Whether I can make something of that inspiration or not I suppose is up to me. Okay, I'm off to be semi-creative.
Ok, I had a box spotted at Lowes. They have some moving boxes 18x18x 24, just the size I wanted for a buck seventy-eight each. I only need one so I told my room mated I was going to find a cardboard box ad she asked what for? I told her a light box. and she asked if I had looked in the garage? She said there are three out there, one of the3m might work. Shure enoughthere were three. Two larger than I wanted and one smaller. I chose the smaller one but what the heck ? I may be only photographing a fecw small diamonds and this shoud work. If it won't then the camera or camera operater is at fault. Heere's the box: Something we bought a while back.
Now then I'm about as creative as the proverbial bull in somewhere he doesn't belong. The box is not finished but here's a shot. The inside of the box. Now the first picture. I use existing light I had. As can be seen, I don't have enough light but the box will work. You get the idea.
Alright the box is not finished but I can make it work. I have cut out windows for lamps I need some white poster board but I'll pick that up later, and I want some sheer fabric but in a few days I'll have what I want and then I'll produce some sheer magic. At least that's what I keep telling myself. We've got a cool snap coming tonight. I'm not getting out anymore today. My roommate just laid a small bowl of fine chocolate pudding. She'll be unhappy if I don't partake. If you'll all excuse me, I'll see you later.
@Bill Boggs , I haven't the foggiest idea what you are doing but then I'm not very tech smart, anyway. Looks like it's working. I'm looking forward to seeing your work.
Oh my goodness, look at you! So creative! Can't wait to see what you capture! But just don't do the "mouse thing"!
