Just Create Weekend!

[silvercat17]

What have you gotten done this week? Done anything fun lately? What are you working on this weekend?

I've been playing a lot of tabletop rpgs and have one that starts in about five minutes so I gotta run! See y'all in a couple of ours and I hope you've gotten a lot done!

I've got most of what needs to go in the van for Battlemoor staged near the front door, so that's a big thing done (& a big pile of stuff). I've been working on building shelves this week, & I got the first set done! I'll be able to fit more stuff in the van now that that's ready.

Today I'll be working on the second set of shelves, at least until the weather rolls in -- the monsoon has arrived & late afternoon tends to be a BIT too rainy to work outside. After that I've got sewing to do. Yes, more sewing...but this is MUCH easier, MUCH more fun, & if I don't get it done it doesn't matter.

Me and my conspirator look to have finalized the designs for promotional risographed postcards of All in the Family! I am pretty psyched!

After all the sanding I did yesterday, I declared that today I'd take a break from sanding, or (more realistically) not do much of it. I did a LITTLE BIT of sanding, just enough to get one of the shelf uprights put together, with long breaks between sanding to:

1) do the putting-together part,

2) go chat with the neighbors,

3) admire the Back In Town herd of feral horses (so named because they're all boys,

4) chat with the guy with the horse trailer who pulled over so his horses could talk to the other horses (the wild horses were like COME ON OUT & PLAY WHY ARE YOU IN A BOX)

5) follow Loiosh around a lil because he needed to smell a juniper bush,

6) watch VERY CLOSELY as Loiosh decided to INTERACT with the horses (!!)

By which I mean the Back In Town herd were in the back yard grazing, so Loiosh watched them for a bit & then started eating grass. He was MIRRORING THEM, it was SO AWESOME. & then one of the horses got curious & grazed over towards Loiosh in a relatively subtle manner for someone so large, & then they SNIFFED NOSES OMG.

(The only thing that kept me from velociraptor screeching is the horse in question was about five feet from me at the time.)

& then Loiosh said SHIT YOU'RE BIG & hurried back over to his Momma. BUT he didn't hiss at the horse, which he usually does when someone's closer than he likes, so I think he's pretty okay with them, they're just. Large.

Also in the process of putting things together I demonstrated ONCE AGAIN that I can measure 37 times, cut once VERY CAREFULLY using a guide to make sure it's straight, use a t-square to line everything up AND the drill guide to make sure the drill goes in properly & STILL wind up with nothing quite parallel or at right angles.

:that shrug emoji:

[kellan_the_tabby]

WOW. They look GREAT.

[lb_lee]

You have feral horsies in your area? _@

[seerofrage]

Whoa whoa, those look super cool omg! O:
Congrats! :D

[lb_lee]

I knooooow, my friend had access to a risograph lab, which I always just assumed was far beyond my reach, so I'm super excited to have them! I can't wait to see them in person! (And aw, Dangan Ronpa, you have such great icons!)

[seerofrage]

All the things, you can do them! *\o/*
That's awesome that you got a lot of the big stuff out of the way, and best of luck finishing up the rest of your preparations! :D

And omg, your encounter with the wild horses sounds really cool omg! (And what a perfect name for the herd omg :D)

[kellan_the_tabby]

I mean I'm in squatsville, New Mexico, so I guess I shouldn't have been surprised, but I really was. o.0 I posted some pics & stuff over at my place. There are two different herds!

[seerofrage]

Ooooh, hope you have fun at your game! :D

I compiled some references for a couple art things I have planned, but besides cleaning and other housework I haven't done much this week; been feeling a little under the weather recently, although I did make some time today to maybe start on said art things!

[kellan_the_tabby]

I used to be SO BAD at getting ANYTHING done (the concept of 'executive dysfunction' made everything make SO MUCH SENSE) but I've developed a pretty intricate system of todo lists & reminders & stuff that actually works for me(??!).

...which means that every once in a while I get a CRAPTON done, & then I sleep for a week. It still ain't perfect.

It is SO MUCH FUN having horses around!

[seerofrage]

I totally get that struggle, and it's good that you've got your own system that works for you! Also, that the things get done, even if it's a week of sleep afterwards C':

I finished a Chevron crocheted slouch hat! I also decided I was DONE with my Meandering Shawl. Normally I aim for 60" long which is 10 repeats of the pattern, but I got bored and stopped at 8 repeats. It's still big enough to wrap around me, so it works even being shorter.

I had a productive day so far :) This morning J & put a new computer part in my computer & also clean it. it was real dirty and it runs so much better now. :) We also gave the dog a bath with his new flea shampoo. It really seems to have helped.

I made breakfast, cleaned & vacuumed the carpet and did some light shopping at the corner store. I also made a test batch of brownies. I lost a bet at work and now I owe someone brownies. I am using it as an excuse to find a good homemade fudgy brownie recipe. This batch turned out not as fudgy as I wanted but it was still good. now I just have to resist the urge to eat them all.

[silvercat17]

Go you!

[silvercat17]

Damn! Dramatic as fuck!

[silvercat17]

Good job! And now I want some brownies.

[silvercat17]

Wow! Good work!

[silvercat17]

Hey, nothing wrong with resting.

[silvercat17]

Games done and I screwed around on my phone too long. I now need to:
Take care of email
pack up two ebay auctions
work on the art for my Redbubble shop and patreon

[kellan_the_tabby]

RIGHT, like, it's SO MUCH BETTER than getting nothing done ever, which is where I started out. :P

[kellan_the_tabby]

I AM MIGHTY

Resting is vital. For national security.
