Project Chaos

by worrylessjourney, posted in chaos, frustration, funny

The last few days have been interesting. I ordered a cabinet to put in my bathroom. One of those that you have to put tohether. I have done plenty of these but someone was supposed to help me with it. After waiting over 3 weeks for that help I couldn’t stand it anymore and got it out of the box. Checked that all parts and screws etc were there and sat it in a corner.

A few days ago another week have passed and I just couldn’t stand it anymore and decided to tackle it myself. My 83 year old body was not so happy but I thought it would hbe good exercise.

I gathered all my tools and picked up the directions. Interesting.. not text and pictures just pictures. Lots of arrows that there was no ecplanation of why they were there. But I was ready. Time to get going.

Starting out I laid all the pieces out by numbers and picked the ones I needed to start with. No problem I understood what to do and began to build. After completing two halves of of the cabinet I was ready to stack one on top of the other. This was when I discovered what the arrows were about. Some pieces were facing forward and some were the back.

Taking the pieces apart (which took several hours) I now began to put them together correctly. Now that I had everything the right way around I was ready to put the two pieces together.

The top piece was too heavy for me to lift on top of the other piece I laid them both on the floor. This was going to do it. This is when I found out that since the pieces were particle board some places did not want to close tight or stay where they were supposed to. They were too loose.

Time to save the day with you know what. I put it generously over the parts and finally got it together well. Standing it up it looked great but I discovered that some glue on the bottom part had adhered to the bottom and part of it was stuck to the carpet. Carefully I got it free and hooray it worked.

The only problem now was the glue on my hands. I had never looked up how to get it off so decided to check my phone for instructions. Thats when I discovered that I couldn’t open my phone because it has a fingerprint lock on it and couldn’t recognize my print. I filed most of it off my thumb with a nail file.

The cabinet is now mostly done and when finished completely I will post a picture. After at least an hour I managed to get the glue off my finger get into my phone and find out that nail polish remover does a decent job of getting the glue off

Now I can take a deep breath and always wait for help.

I love the drawings by Jean Seabrook. Her animals are so wonderful and th captions so perfect. Today I thought I would share a couple from her book Furry Logic. It is my favorite and I give copies to those who need perking up. I have a calendar with some of these and I post just the pictures to suit my day.

Kid Talking To Parents Clipart

Today I go the cutest text from my granddaughter. She was having a conversation with her son who is turning two next week. I do love the conversations with young children. The wisdom can be amazing and the thoughts and ideas such fun. Enjoy this simple little talk.

 

 

Mom: Karter do you know where the remote is for the living room TV?

Karter: I hide it.

Mom: Well, you have about 3 seconds to unhide it.

Karter: 1…2…

Mom: No! you don’t count. I count!

Karter: Oh nooooo!!!

Toilet paper answer

by worrylessjourney, posted in acceptance, coping, funny, hoarding, humor, knitting and crocheting

Today we ventured out to the grocery store. We are limiting the times we go anywhere but it was necessary. While in the store my husband commented to one of the employees that he just didn’t understand the hoarding of toilet paper.

The reply he got was “It is because the virus scares the s###t out of everyone.” That is the first logical response I have heard and the funniest.

There are some funny things to be found in our day to day lives now. One yard in our neighborhood usually looks terrible but it now looks great. Guess the free time made a difference.

Many people are still working here but I don’t know how long that will last. We are way behind the places that got the virus early on and we will be behind getting rid of it. That may mean a longer time isolating since we began with the rest of the country.

I have managed to be productive knitting and crocheting— 2 blankets for the Humane Society, three hats for one granddaughter (she wears them so she doesn’t have to fix her hair for university classes), one afghan for another granddaughter several necklaces to sell to make money for the Humane Society. (You can see where my love is)

This is the crazy hat. She will love it!

Let’s hope that people calm down soon and the crazy hoarding stops. There really is no need for it.

Stay well!

I re-discovered an old book on my shelves and will occasionally share some of the quotes. The book is “Anguished English” by Richard Lederer. I hope that you enjoy these as much as I do.

Fun signs

by worrylessjourney, posted in creativity, enjoy, fun!, funny, Laugh

I recently noticed a new message on the digital traffic sign near my home. It is a result of a social media competition launched in Georgia by the Georgia’s Department of Transportation. The idea is to get signs people will notice. The one near my house reads: “This is a sign you should buckle up.”  I love these and Georgia is already using them.

Who is to blame for this mess?

This showed up last night on Facebook. It is so funny and a wonderful take on elections in general and the things that are going on in Britain and the US.

Beaker Folk Prayer for the General Election

Announced by Archdruid Eileen

Oh God, we pray for the General Election and that through it your will be done.

Albeit we’re a bit concerned that if we explicitly associate your will with the results of the election, there’s kind of an impression given that the winners have God on their side.

Which given the potential leaders we’re looking at currently seems, frankly, a bit worrying. We mean, we know you’ve worked through Cyrus, Potiphar’s wife, Joseph’s brothers selling him into slavery and a talking donkey. But, you know, that was back in Biblical times when it was all a lot simpler.

And we’re a bit worried that if we say your will is equivalent to the results of a democratic election, then it’s arguable your will made a right mess of it in 2015, 2016 and 2017. Not to take party political sides, but we’ve not been a terribly high-performing country after any of those votes. Was that your will?

As if it was, we can only conclude that in fact your will is to punish us for something. Maybe the Empire, or making hot pants trendy in the 60s, or Strictly Come Dancing. Don’t get us wrong, we can understand the punishment is deeply appropriate. But shorter and sharper would probably be better than this slow death by lies and fantasy we’ve been going through lately. Just a plague of frogs, maybe?

Votes without end

Amen

Maybe we also are being punished for those we have put in office. Who else is to blame? We do, after all, vote.
