Retirement readiness
Sep. 16th, 2002 02:53 amI've spent the last weeks getting my life in order and preparing for my husband's departure from the Army. He's already sign out, so if stop losses were to hit his MOS at this point, theyd be doing massive paperwork to put him back in.
Rediscovering cross-stich and plastic canvas craft have taken up my time since the end of Round 4 of the BOCAG, which I'll discuss in another post. I found a Tengwar font and will be doing some cross-stitching with it. Tengwar? Glad you asked... Elvish lettering ala Tolkien. Kevin has been playing Dark Elves for Warhammer of late. So... going to cross-stitch on his dice bag and stuff to keep them from getting mixed up. I finished up a bag for carrying a play deck and life stones for a CCG. Looks good, I think, I may try to take a picture. Black fabric doesn't do well in a scan since my scanner background comes out black.
My house is in pretty good shape except for kiddy and kitty corners. The garage is even clean, well, except two duffle bags that need to go back to the attic, but at least the stuff isn't all over the floor.
Kitty corner is where the litterbox is. What part of clean up after the cats every day is so hard to grasp?
Kiddy corner is the three rooms at the front of my house. Two bedrooms, inhabited by one teenager a piece, and a bathroom. Some people say I should let it alone, but I like using that bathroom at night so I don't wake the bear by going in the master bedroom. If we had a third bathroom for company then maybe I would just put a door in front of that hallway and keep it shut.
My daughter is amusing on the subject of the bathroom. Theirs looks like hell and she says.. "Mom, Soandso is going to use your bathroom." "Eh... no.. they use yours. If you are too ashamed to have them see it, clean it or take them elsewhere." The look that got... She never asked again.
Obiwanknobe has been posting cool links on Celtic mythology of late. If that's your thing, have a looksee! :)
