It’s almost time to get up… but I haven’t been to bed
yet! I’m not even tired and I am being “technically”
productive (if you count various computer activities). It seems my pain meds keep me wide-eyed and
bushy-tailed. This has been going on for
a while now and sleeping meds don’t seem to make a difference one way or the
other. I know one day I’ll be too tired
to move but in the meantime…
I’ve been trying to
be somewhat productive doing some indexing and arbitrating on
FamilySearch.org. I got to digging
around on the website and took a look at the new 1940 Census and found some
neat stuff like finding my grandparents (teenagers then) and my Dad was on
there too (16 months old). It’s pretty
cool to find documents like that with people you actually KNOW, not just names
in your family tree.
I’ve done some
educational things too like look up tutorials on some things I’ve recently
become interested or re-interested) in.
I’ve been inspired to pick up my frosting bag and do a couple of cakes
recently. I did them years ago and just got away from it, but I’m able to do it in small doses thanks to a handy bar-stool dear husband rescued from his ‘garbage picking’. (His trash picking needs to be a post of its
own). Anyway, I don’t have to be on my feet the
entire time and good ol’ Swag bucks allowed me to get a turntable to make
decorating easier.
I made TJ a hamburger
for his birthday…
It was time consuming
and required a few breaks but it didn't turn out as well as I had hoped, but it didn't turn out too bad either. It’s only
the 2nd cake I’ve decorated in at least 10 years. AND… it was YUMMY! (The sesame seeds are rice crispies BTW)
I forgot I enjoyed doing stuff like that. It seems that Pintrest has awakened a
beast. I like being able to ‘hoard’
online and have developed quite a collection of ideas and such on
Pinterest.
My “Swagging” as slowed somewhat due to the indexing,
digging up stuff on FamilySearch and doing little things I see on Pinterest that I’m able to do. I may not get up and dance, but I am doing
some things of value, or at least I feel like I am. At least I've gotten away from playing
computer games 24/7 as a sanity keeper.
Now if I’d just keep up with this blog!
