What is on your mind - Page 717

I have a lot on my mind.

So much that it keeps me from getting the much needed sleep I know I need.

Grad school, teaching, lesson plans, fafsa, registering, where should I move to for practicum and internship... should I even stay in this state or move to where I know I need to eventually end up?

Another move... to where I know no one again. Not that has ever been an issue (making friends), but I'd like to settle down sometime....yanno? lol

I wish i could enjoy the many blessing I recently had or milestones I have achieved, but I keep loading up my agendas and platters with more, just to stay busy and ignore other things. It isn't working.

JDeere · 04-11-2019, 04:32 PM

I really miss her, I miss late night calls, I just miss everything in general till things went south!

Gemme · 04-19-2019, 07:23 PM

I've got a lot going on in my noggin but mostly I'm tired. Do I dare attempt to go to bed this early and risk laying in bed, wide-eyed, for a couple hours or do I wait until my normal-ish time?

My next step/move.

Kätzchen · 04-21-2019, 05:04 PM

I'm still trying to figure out how to repurpose a set of privacy screens, room dividers, that were given to me recently. I can't decide whether to go get plexi-glass type sheets of acrylic to anchor onto the backs of the dividers, then take marbles in shades of combinations of blue and green and purple, etc, and set them into each quadrant square and fill the squares with some sort of acrylic -- so they stay inside the squares permanently? OR, go buy cloth-like onion paper in a variety of colorful shades to achieve the stained glass church window effect?

That is what has been on my mind since I got them the first of the year. I'm trying to figure out how to make them sturdier, and then attach them all together, to they stretch out across a bigger field of space (for the front windows in my new apartment)…. so that when it's too bright, all I have to do is stretch them across the room, not only for privacy, but to lend an added ambiance to soothe the whole living room experience.

Here's what a single room divider looks like (I have three of them).

I hope to get my privacy screen project done by next weekend or the following weekend.

Oh I love those type of screens. Those I've seen have had larger windows, not as many panes though. Plus they were definitely less upscale too. Our local Walmart where I window shopped doesn't carry such finery. Besides if I put that many screens in my apartment they'd be the apartment. Well not really but they'd fill up the living room and leave little space for walking that's for sure. Anyhow these look a lot nicer than those I've been eye spying - what a score! Are we going to get to see pictures when they're done?

1am. and I have begun taking out my uninsulated, interior, wall down to the exterior wood. -After I put in the insulation, should I use the weathered 100+ year old fence wood I already have for a new wall, or should I buy new wood?

No, I won't be sharing any pictures of the finished product, FSF. The screens given to me actually have four panels, whereas the picture example I found on the web has three panels. I'm not sure where the previous owner bought them. But I will somehow get this art project finished in the next couple of weeks.

JDeere · 04-22-2019, 12:41 AM

Why am I still awake?

Is it too late to eat something?

And whether or not to trust her again.
