I got a lot done today but at the same time, I guess not that much. But enough to satisfy me. I tried making another face mask. I wasn't going to because the last 3 or 4 I've done have been dreadful. And it made me realize that I'm not good at sewing. This guy I was watching on youtube (Tim Totten) is really good and he makes everything look so easy peasy. I went nice and slow figuring surely this time my mask will be okay. But nope! Into the trash it went. Then I decided I would just copy one my sister made last year. It was especially easy although I think it would have been better had I put a nose strip thingie in it. Mine's probably a little too long but I did use three layers and it's way more comfortable than those that cling to your face. Really irritates me that now we're being dictated to about what kind of masks to wear. Can't they ever just leave us alone?!
I decided it was time to make myself unhappy again by looking at my hair and scalp. Man, it just seems to be wearing thin day by day. Glad I've got a wig to put on as I can see it's going to end up being a daily article of clothing! I assume this hair loss is just one of those things. Maybe generic? Maybe not. Perhaps I have some inefficiency in my body that is affecting hair growth. I'll probably never know for sure. It's becoming harder and harder to get into a doctor these days and even then, you're damn lucky if you can find someone who will listen and/or have suggestions on a cure.
I cleaned up the sewing area and continued vacuuming the rest of the apartment. Odd how dirty it gets when it's just me living here. I sat down and worked on my genealogy notes and that was slow going as I tried to match up what I had with what other people have posted on ancestry trees. It was getting so complicated I finally made a decision to just pick one grandparent (from way back) and work forward from him towards my grandpa LewGene and his son, my dad.
I'll put that info on my new blog reserved for family tree searching. It's called 'Looking For Relatives" on the wordpress website. I've had this blog for some time but it got to be too much work to try and study all the ins and outs of how it operated. Meaning I was too lazy to put in the effort. But today I took another stab at it and I think it will be fine if I go nice and slow.
I read my book 'State of Terror' for about an hour (so good!) and I knew it was getting too late in the day to take a nap so I set it aside. I'm in my slump period now and very tired but this too shall pass. I'm hoping I'll sleep better tonight; then tomorrow I can get up and dive in right away to genealogy again. Won't get sidetracked with sewing.
I've got a cornish game hen baking in the oven. I was supposed to have it yesterday but just couldn't get in the mood so I took some split pea soup out of the freezer and had that with a salad. I've been watching the tree outside my window and I think it's already showing signs of spring. I know that sounds odd but there are definitely some "things" growing on those branches. Yay!
Well, I guess I'd better put some heat under those potatoes if I want mashed potatoes with that little hen. And while that's cooking, I'll go Google AGAIN what could be causing me to go bald. Facebook sure has been annoying me lately. I'm sick to death of all the medical crap they put on there. Especially the ones telling seniors they probably have MS if they have this or that symptom. I've got to find a better place to get my entertainment.
