I'm AWAKE... a little, anyway.


Off to a slow start, so tired from yesterday. Started to cull out more huge PSD layered design documents. Got about 200MB removed before I got sucked into redoing an old design- an optical illusion tessellation inspired by the traditional patchwork Schoolhouse Block. Wound up only putting up 2 colorways. Maybe will do more, but enough sitting, go do something else.

Brief outside watering - no butterflies today- breathed on my little loquat tree- grow baby, grow.

Put SCUM-E in the pool- hasn't rained in a while, the water level is low, I may have to switch over to Max. SCUM-E plugs into house power and runs by himself, which is nice, but he's just a carpet sweeper, so doesn't get up silt and I have to haul him out by his handle (pick up by the cord would hurt him) and there's only so much bending down I can do. Max runs on battery and attaches to a pole, so I have to manually slog him around. He IS a vacuum cleaner so he can get up silt, if I go slowly enough not to stir it. So, I use SCUM-E whenever I can, because I have Other Things To Do, but Max has his advantages.

The batch of rocks is done- admired them for a minute before dumping them in the jar with others and starting a new batch of the blah quartzite. I'm now on my third rock tumbler machine. Sometimes I pour all the jars out on the back table and sort them just for fun.

Next I'll open all the used tea and coffee bags to dump the grounds on the ground. I am procrastinating like a boss. I am not looking forward to trying to patch up the cracks around the ceiling molding.

I also starting sorting out the tiny fake flowers on wire stems (they're in bunches but I want to use each flower separately) to give the bunnies flowers. I'm going to attach the flowers to the ties (cut down to fit the bunnies necks) I made back at the beginning of the pandemic for face masks that I donated (After a while they stopped asking for them and I still had a lot left over) and then of course I found that I should have used elastic, instead of ties so I pulled out the ties to save for ??, and then I found the elastic was the wrong length and I removed the elastic and put on the right length, saving the short ones for ??... you do see how this works out? I have commitment issues with things, as in it's HARD to get rid of something I think might have a use.

It's much easier for me to use something up, even when no one will want it- as in the case of the bunnies.

Ok, still faffing about. Fought Spoonflower over another stupidity, and then made 3 more colorways. I quite like this one.

Oh, my, going for 7pm...tired days don't have much action. I DID put pink noses on all the bunnies yesterday and have started giving them flowers.
