Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is “contrast.” Use it any way you’d like. Have fun!

Do you remember when we had the light/dark button and the contrast control button on our boxy TVs? I liked playing with them making everyday objects or people look freaky. Dad hated that.

That makes me think of D’Maggio carrots on Sheriff John. TV was black and white, but I could swear I saw the brilliant orange vegetable with leafy green tops, I could almost smell the earthy garden they came from.

Still, I hate black and white movies or TV. From the moment of landing in Oz I loved color. I love the variety and contrasting colors presented. We need that .

White snow hitting the windshield during the day looks black. The same snow at night makes you feel like you are traveling in space.

Great contrasting conditions. But shadows and highlights help supply our shapes and depth.

I’m so grateful that I can immerse myself in all the layers from contrast to shades of grey.

It’s like music for the eyes. Without the rest of quiet the rhythms and melody becomes muted, boring.

I hate making decisions.

I have reasons to like and hate for each.

Yeah, no.

Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is “neat.” Use it any way you’d like. Enjoy!

Neat as a pin upon the head  where a thousand angels dance. Impossible concepts.

All my life, messy was my other middle name. The actual middle name implied the perfection planned for me.

Desk cleaning day in grade school had me in utter devastating humiliation.

In highschool was the locker cleanup day.

My bedroom was a disaster until the cat peed on my clothes. No longer did my mother have to scream at me. I never let my clothes drift to the floor. Hamper or closet or chest of drawers. The clothes solution stuck. But eek, the rest still shames me daily.

I finally get control of one aspect when ‘life’ happens and throws a wrench in schedule and neatness. And who left that tool out here to trip over?

Grief, then TV guy, messed up all my regulated plans for self improvement, just as I got ready to tighten the schedule for house improvement, so now the swinging the pendulum is working to get me on track.

Not for perfection but enjoying passions fully while aiming to stay healthy.

Neat may never happen. ADHD keeps life moving.

Adding yoga and meditation. At least I’ll feel more peaceful about it.


Dragon #1 2/3 done. I love how well this DP is lining up without much from the straightening tool.

This started out a Finishing Friday blog. With many distractions this week, very little got done. But Milo ‘champion barker at TV guy’ decided to show up for fun.

You wanna play Blue Bunny?
Please?
How about you, Mom?
Nevermind, Blue Bunny, I still love you!
Do you mind?
Mom, I’m sorry, you need a dog.

Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is “tan/ten/tin/ton/tun.” Use one, use ’em all, use ’em any way you’d like. Bonus points if you manage to get four of them into your post. Have fun!

How many tanned tins of tuna would fit in a tun? Tons? Ten tunas? Ugh! It’s smells fishy in here!

Finishing Friday


Finished the book. I found that even book 5 was within reach. That was reassuring. I have the book on my printer so I can print out favorites or ones I think will be good to be a better pianist.
Nearly halfway through with the dragon. I bought three. One for each of two friends and one for me. I like how well this one is working up.

I don’t think I have enough finished to show my knitting progress. My shoulder is giving problems so I have been stopping when it hurts. Trouble is, when I sit I need to do something so I end up playing apps on my fire. Boo!

So outside of reading and bingeing some shows, reviews coming, progress has been slow. But turtles win races, right?

One-Liner Wednesday


A part of Linda’s One-Liner Wednesday

The trouble with the breathing tube and swallowing tube and being ADD results in lukewarm coffee spewing from my nose all over the cat and my sweatpants. I’m fine. 🥴

But what a waste of good coffee!

Long time no see. Still processing. Lots of book reviews coming. But for now other things are being processed. And a couple of finished projects.

First finished hat in a long time!
Finished hat on top. 3 pairs of socks at toe stage. Yoga socks nearing the heeless heel section. Bottom right, new hat, third row of ribbing.
Finished scary DP.
New diamond painting, bottom, progressing.
Surprise!
Nearing the end of this omnibus. Book 5. Found some fun songs. Learned ways to get better with jazzy or blusy rhythms.

Finished my slipper socks!
A little snow to fight off summer fires.

A few days ago I learned one of my aunts passed. So many emotions, so many things to say. Still finding it hard to put it in my journal or blog.

Sorry I missed you all the last few days.
