I've always wanted to have a hobby. I felt like it would be good for my anxiety, etc. Throughout the years I've tried several different things but none of them stuck. A few months ago I was watching some you tube videos on wreath making & I found a couple videos where the wreaths were made of deco mesh (and bonus, all the supplies were from the Dollar Tree!!!) So I decided to give it a try and ended up LOVING it! It's so fun and so relaxing! I made one for Christmas & one for Valentines Day. They were both very basic. Today I made my St. Patty's Day wreath & it is hands down the best one I've made yet! It has deco mesh plus St. Patty's Day themed ribbons & mesh tubes. It turned out so so good. Also my ex-husband had asked me if I would ever make him one. I said of course I would. He is a fire chief so he asked if I would make him a fireman themed wreath. I'm almost finished with that & so happy with how it turned out. 

I just reread what I wrote and it probably sounds so strange to be so excited about this but I'm just so happy that I finally found a hobby that I love (and I'm good at!)

Thank you @moreorlessnu! I tried but I'm gonna level with you....I don't even know how to take a picture with my laptop! I tried but the camera was facing me (like a selfie) and I could not for the life of me figure out how to turn it around so I could take a picture of the St. Patty's Day wreath.

      Guess I should update again? Frieda (Kiki, we renamed her) is here since the end of February 2021. She came with a bunch of problems, but is the best dog ever and is doing better every day. But we do now know how a dog with ptsd looks like. For real, not joking. If she is triggered during the day, she wakes up screaming at night. Not like dogs dream, but literally screaming. Other than that she went with us on countless trips, loves hiking and even cable cars. She is one heck of a fearless dog in situations who do not remind her of her old life. 
      My Grandpa passed away last May and I'm still grieving a lot. After sharing a house with my grandparents for over 30 years it is just horrible to lose one of them. Even though it was his decision and he got to go like he wanted. At home, in his bed during the night without doctors. He would have need more care and he did not want more care. So after turning 90 he decided to let go and became weaker and weaker. 
      In other news my dad stops working for good on April 1st. Retirement time. Keep my Mum and myself in your prayers. We really do not want him at home all the time. Haha!

      I don't always make good decisions for myself due to severe depression but I did today actively decide not to do something that might have been detrimental for me and am very proud of myself.

      Well, this is weird. At some point, recently, I broke my wrist. I had to get a Dexa-scan today (put it off for years) and along with some bone loss, damn I had it a few minutes ago… the results said, “Fracture risk is moderate, and the patient has a significant wrist fracture. Treatment is advised.”  my left wrist aches a little but not near as much as my back, feet, knees or fingers, damn RA. I have no idea how it happened. I haven’t fallen in 2 years, haven’t banged or bumped…  the dr will call tomorrow and we’ll get  this straightened out.

      I got my stickers today after renewing my vehicle registration. 
      Just reminded me again how different Minnesota is from Iowa.  Since I didn't register my vehicle in January last year, I got a sticker for the month since all MN plates are made with JAN printed in the lower left hand corner.  They also require people to put stickers on both the front and back plates, as opposed to Iowa that just want's the single sticker on the rear plate.
      Oh well, considering how MN is trying to move into the 2020s while Iowa is trying to lurch the fuck back to the 1840s, the type and number of license plate stickers is really a minor thing.
