because it might make me feel better

sabineI have the lumber to construct an outdoor toy/equipment bin. I need to cut it and figure out how to use the pocket-hole jig to put it all together.
I have the lumber to construct a raised bed to go around the mailbox out front. Since it's made of cedar boards, Downwood had to do the cutting and I'm going to try to get him to put the boards together. I'm allergic to cedar oil and just handling it in the store made my hands itchy and awful. If he can get it put together then Emi and I can fill it with dirt and then flowers.
I have material to make a floofy peacock skirt. I think I have the skills to pull it off.
I found cotton in natural-ish colors for $2/yd at JoAnn's over the weekend. I plan to make some garb for Emi/Ox, and us. Emi picked out a truly awesome pumpkiny orange that I plan to make into a kirtle for her.
I have paint, hair, and some My Little Ponies to repaint. I also have IDEAS. No sealant, but I think I have everything else I need for my first couple attempts.
I have pretty jewelry. I can't really wear necklaces right now, what with the sling and all, but I'm looking forward to it.
I'm healing. It's getting better day by day by day.
Books are still awesome. Paper, Kindle, and Audible all make me happy. My arm hurts too much to hold big paper books, but my Kindle is truly amazing.
My kids are totally adorable. And frustrating. And wonderful. And annoying. And tiring. And rewarding. And all the other contradictions that come with other humans. And they *are* small humans, trying to learn how the world works so they can make it to be big humans.
I'm pretty smart. I have way too much in my head, but I can generally pull out the data I need to make customers and coworkers happy.
Healthy, pretty, tasty lunches are not too hard for me to put together on a daily basis.
There is much more to me than the numbers on the scale or on the tape measure. So much more. I just have problems remembering that sometimes.
