I keep telling myself   I am not going to let my email account get so full of useless emails again, and yet I have countless unwanted emails to delete . I guess there isn’t anything I can do, but make sure I delete as many as I can each day.. ..   ..  ..

I got to thinking what else have I been overlooking. I started thinking about goint back to New York to visit and I remembered I took some time off from going to different states online, but it is time to get through what I had started. 

I just went out of order in my count Massachusetts #21 and Not #22. I will change that before I looking into the real #22 Michigan…

Well, I am going to get something to eat before I do anything, because who can do anything on an empty tummy….

Finally A New Stitch…

I said I was never going to frog  (undo a few crochet stitches) ever again. I guess what they say is true, ā€œnever say never,ā€ but I did this at least three times on one project. I got a request for a king size blanket, no rush, I could choose the stitch, but I couldn’t make up my mind.

Video #2 : https://youtu.be/yP9mrL4gh4U

Video #3 : https://youtu.be/XJs8Z7ZwKts  ~ I did this on top of the granny square blanket I started on #2.   I wish I had started with this stitch.

I didn’t like either one  video #2 & video #3 The stitches were pulling too tight and the lines weren’t straight. Video #1 was right, but I changed my mind on the square all together.

I got back to looking for another new stitch and I finally found one.     https://youtu.be/_D0niviy8a0

Well, it’s time to get back to working on my new project. I am grateful for this paying job, because yesterday I got fired. That was a first for me, but when one door closes a better one opens…

Stay or Run?

Ever decide to do something without thinking about the outcome or deciding to do something when you are upset or scared? When you are having mix feeling one should think about deciding a big change. I got scared at work and went out for another, only the other maybe even a bigger mistake.

I am grateful for the job, but if you are not safe at where you are working. Why should you stay there? Then you go back to where you were at before, knowing it wasn’t all that good, but you know you need a job.

Is it better to stay or go? Your mind is overflowing with so many thoughts, so many feeling, and a lot more questions then you have answers for. Its time to close ones eyes to what they are watching and thinking about what you want to see and how you want to feel.

I want to have an enjoyable work space, I enjoy talking and helping others. I also like to be creative as I keep things in order. That all changes when there is a rude person trying to harm ones personal space. Is it worth to stay and fight or go somewhere safe?

There is a saying, “Run away and be safe, so you can fight another day,” or something like that. There are times when you have to fight, but there is also a time to be safe. Then again who says its right to stay where you are if you aren’t happy.

I rather be happy and not be looking left and right all of the time. Sometimes the water is calm and you know its going to be a good peaceful day. Then there are times when you have to be on guard and make sure you are safe.

Q & A about Spices…..

I know ginger is good for your tummy and turmeric is good for you as well. I was told a few times how black pepper works great with the turmeric, because it absorbs better.

There were also a few videos on facebook showing a mixture of honey, turmeric, and ginger. The problem I had with that was knowing a tiny jar will get lost and forgotten in my fridge, so I did this my way.

My way (now) is: A teaspoon of honey  topped with powdered turmeric, ginger, and black pepper. 

I  also add these spices to some hot lemon water, but it is way too hot for that. I am sure there are more ways for these species. Had to ask another question –

Short Notes…

I started writing short notes while I was at work. I have always thought words have a way of changing how I feel. My favorite line is, ā€œwrite down how you are feeling, the good, and bad things.ā€ It could help clear your mind.

Once you can see all sides in black and white, it will help you make a better decision. Then again notes can be a reminder of positive thoughts or a quick laugh…
