Baseball made me miss “House”
I currently have a paperclip stuck through my right ear because I was super bored at one point at work today and found myself staring at the clip and thinking “I could use that as an earring.” I started my new schedule at work this week, a sort of modified day shift. All but 2 days this week will have me home by 6:30pm, which is hella cool. I may pick up an odd Sunday here and there until the new tech is fully trained, but to be completely honest there’s not much of a need to have a tech in on Sundays.
We pulled some interesting things out of my grandmother’s apartment this weekend, such as several ancient books of sheet music that belonged to my great-grandmother, including the wonderfully perverted title of “Fun with the Organ”. Mom found a pair of racey undies, and another couple of bags of crafts, this time needlepoint for the most part. Most of the crafty things weren’t even started, or only barely started, but there was a needlepoint stool cushion that she had finished in 1989 that was never actually blocked and put on a stool. There was also a partially done needlepoint canvas that none of us remember seeing her working on. In addition to the sheetmusic I also took my grandfather’s copy of “The Bluejacket’s Handbook” and a scarf. It was really disturbing to be down there and have almost of of her belongings piled on top of her bed; it’s depressing to think that all that remains can fit on the top of a full sized mattress.
I’ve got a few crafty projects going on right now. There’s the crochet stuff, there’s a book that I’ve gouged up and its pair of papier mache drawers (god I love doing papier mache), and I’ve got a pack of stuffed bears to make. I’ll be sure to post some pics when I get them done.

Wow, you’re not kidding. The cover art and title of that music book is PRICELESS! Glad you’re starting back up with some fun craft projects.
