It's not quite done.. but close enough to post here.

My daughter has a 'memory' box that she saves old movie stubs, plane tickets, cards & stuff like that.

So I thought I'd make her a treasure chest for her treasures.

I'm a crap woodworker.. I'm an iffy leather worker..

There is a lot going on in the world... Like.. A lot a lot...

Maybe we should be a bit more proactive... Just sayin'...

Forgot to post this the other day

Finished 1st draft of my butterfly wallet. Have a couple smash tweeks to make to the pattern but going to make up a few of them to see if I can get any traction with them..

Simple dyed -thinking $60..but no idea what people would pay.

What do you think of them?

Thank you for saying so! I just see a collection of mistakes which I try to fix when I'm doing the next project.

It's certainly more rustic than a lot of companies I see on line but I prefer that style.

Also the purple came out good considering it turns metallic green when it first went on..

Did you know I do commissions?

Perhaps you've never been told! Perhaps you have been told but totally don't care (I mean, ouch, but you do you..)

My daughter commissioned me to do some birthday shirts for her, a friend, and the friend's kid. I like them

I don't charge her. She's lucky like that.

a large cartoon '2' where the bottom of the 2 is a road with a hearse with eyes and frowny face driven by a skeleton. there is a ghost coming out of the huge exhaust pipes and a raven sitting on the hood.

A gravestone with the '30' in large, bleeding letters. Below it says 'RIP The 20's'. There is a mood and clouds behind, a raven sitting on the top of the stone. A large skull with glowing eyes is at the top. A zombie hand is sticking up out of the ground in front.

I was really just going for a cheap laugh and not really interested in chatting about my general health on the interwebs. But thank you for the thought

Not according to my insomnia-suffering wife who lays awake next to me most nights..

Pretty sure it's intrusive sleep.. I've always suddenly fallen asleep if not totally involved.. Notes from college would have pages with scribbles across them where my hand was still writing while I slept in class

I'm trying to get more sleep.

it sucks ass.

I miss 5 hour sleeps.

Yes, I was fuzzy, had massive anomic aphasia, and could fall asleep if I sat still for more than 5 seconds (that's always been the case..) but I didn't feel like I'd been beaten by an angry sheep with the number 4 on their side...

Yup! Can't let you out of those tax dollars for nothing!

I'm wondering if they ever make dual citizenship illegal again if it just gets taken away for free..

Just ordered a study guide for my:
🍁 Canada Citizenship test 🍁

Fun fact.. It costs $2350 to give up US citizenship but only $650 to apply for Canadian and the study guide is free as a PDF, audio book, or physical copy..

I just couldn't get into O Brother Where Art Thou.. Have to find a time when my brain will let me actually sit and watch it.

"I am a man of constant sorrows" is a fantastic song though.. Could listen to it all day..

To be fair, took me a few tries to watch The Big Lebowski,too...

And don't forget that burnout isn't just about your job or things you dislike. You can absolutely burnout doing things you love.

too much of a good thing and all that...

Shit sucks muchly.

(don't worry about me.. personally, I'm fine-ish.. well, as fine as can be.. I'm speaking more for the world in general and the US in particular..)

I thought the same thing which is why I reached out directly to Bitdefender.. but, nope.. that's just how they do stuff.

I can't even begin to understand why they think this is a good idea...

Windows Defender here i come, I guess.

In order to buy a new anti-virus Bitdefender's billing partner requires me to send a screen shot of my online banking info for the transaction. Except it has never shown up.

The Billing partner's website isn't working right

And Bitdefender's response was, basically, sucks to suck..

So, yeah..

That's what he's saying - accidental adaptation.. Serendipitously wrote the same story with a different ending..

It's a Dennis the Menace situation!
