Oct. 20, 2014  Monday 9:29 A.M. Perfect California Weather.

Mood:  Worried. I hope my boyfriend's truck is okay. It is our only vehicle right now and it seems to be leaking something.

Eats: I think I will  heat up the leftover pork loin and make scrambled eggs to go with it. And maybe country fried potatoes.

Fitness: Yesterday turned out to be more sitting than walking. Today I have yard work so that should burn some calories.

Musing: I was going to go to pottery today but instead we need to go have the truck looked at. :(

Reading: Now reading The Accidental Genie by Dakota Cassidy. I think it would make a great Sit-com.

Mood:  Excited

Eats:  Delicious pork loin and asparagus last night.

Fitness: I wish I had a Fit-Bit so I could track how much walking I'll be doing today.

Musing: It has been a week since my car got crushed. So today I need to get out of the house so I'm carpooling to town with my boyfriend. After I drop him off, I'll do my normal Sat. schedule, which is library, music class, and shopping. Then I'll work on projects until he gets off of work. I think I'll take my mandolin to class today.

Reading: Now reading The Accidental Genie by Dakota Cassidy. I think it would make a great Sit-com.

Almost Winter in Lucerne Valley California

Winter has arrived early in Lucerne Valley, CA. For the past 3 nights, the water has frozen in the hoses and the bird water buckets. I've had to wear layers to bed, as well as five blankets. Last night my boyfriend figured out how to make a hot water bottle.

I still miss the city life. But I also appreciate the giant yard we have and the lack of traffic. We live on a dirt road. We never have to sit in traffic, unless we drive to a bigger town. Compared to spending hours on the 405 or 5 or 22 FWY, it's a blessing. Everywhere you live has pros and cons. I guess I want the best of both worlds.

It looks like soon I'll have a ride to Rancho Cucamunga fairly regularly, at least until Feb. Then I'll have a ride into town more often if I need to visit a craft store. I've really missed having a local craft store. The Lucerne Market carries a few items if I get in a pinch, but it's no Michael's. Of course if I get a ride to town, I won't get a ride home for 4 or 5 hours. But I can take my knitting or a sketchbook or a journal or a book. I'm good at entertaining myself. In fact sometimes I get more done if I'm not at home.

Beautiful view from my backyard.

Every day I'm frustrated because I feel like I should be doing more with my life. It's almost 2 AM and I'm blogging, mainly because I haven't written anything all day.

Checking out the weather.

Frozen birdbath.

Saving wood for a chicken coop.

Getting a New Monitor Finally

My three hours at the library computer just flew by. I finally cracked and bought another computer monitor. My boyfriend was letting me share his, but what an enormous waste of time to have to wait every time I wanted to type something or edit photos or write an article.  Then he'd have to wait for me to use the Internet. So I found a sale online at Best Buy and spent my money. I've been trying to hold on to every dime, but realized I was being penny wise and pound foolish. If I can't work, I'm only making it harder and harder to earn money. My boyfriend had gotten used to the arrangement and didn't see why I'd need to get a monitor at all. So I know he will be mad even though it's my life, my career and my money. I can't just sit here and watch my life go by when I could be working each day on new articles and videos and blog posts that could lead to more work and income. I'll have to accept that he'll never understand that. I've worn myself out trying to convince him.


Here I am wearing a scarf I designed for a Youtube tutorial. I got paid to do it too. But I can't do this kind of work without access to a computer.
