Trying to Keep Myself Busy

Been a hard week.  For me and lots of others.  My emotions have been on a roller coaster ride.  Decided I'm going to start a scrapbook about this whole Trump controversy.  Already have a few articles and cartoons and opinions in my computer files but I need a hard copy too.  Something I can work on and try to make sense of -- and contemplate a year or two from now to see how things are going.  I'm not going to write about it now.  There will be plenty of words written and spoken on this subject  for some time to come.

It's going on 5 and I think I need to get up and shut the curtains as I don't like looking out on the night. Seahawks will be on in a few minutes and that should perk things up around here. And then there's that 60 Minutes Show in two hours.  Still thinking about whether or not I'll watch.  I probably will as I'm a news addict but I'll watch with a chip on my shoulder.

Did manage to get a few things done around here today.  Even little things like changing the sheets on the bed makes me feel better.  I was getting a little worried about my book.  Hit a blank spot where I just couldn't get the juices flowing for new topics.  Think my depression had a little to do with that.
I forced myself to sit down and create, though, and the fingers started to move. I've only written about 29,000 words and I need to double that.  I had planned on using the 80+ blogs I wrote for the Leader  but once I started rereading each one, I was deleting like crazy and not liking much of any of it. It'll all come together sooner or later, I suppose.  Slow steps.

I got a quilt top made and will try to get the backing on this week so I can start two others I have cut out and ready to sew.  Been finding some good material (at a decent price) at Goodwill so that always pleases me.

I made a meatloaf yesterday intending to have it for leftovers or in sandwiches but alas, I continue to NOT BE THAT GREAT A COOK.  I even bought a meat loaf spice packet to add to it.  I guess my heart just isn't in the kitchen much these days.  Going to hate losing Jenni as my meals have been much improved with her at the helm.  Her and Wayne continue to work towards getting a new mobile onto their property. Both seem especially excited about it and that's a good thing.

I half wonder if I'm not just a little bit sick this week.  Feeling headachy every day with a touch of nausea and general blahness and fatigue.I wake up a couple times or more each night and often can't get back to sleep.  That makes for a tired and draggy day as the routine repeats itself. Maybe it's the set the clock back thing...or winter coming on....or my life in general.  Ha!

Here's a couple pictures my granddaughter, Catie, shared on Facebook. She took them from her office window in downtown Seattle.

Well, that's about all I got.  I haven't been writing on my blog as much as I used to.  Guess I'm going to have to get out and go places, see people, and do things if I want to have something to write about.
