A podcast I was listening to was talking about imperfection. How it is the little blemishes that add character to things.
I've written posts about this at another blog.
So I was thinking about my former online dating profile and how I said something along the lines of Imperfectly perfect.
Then there was this rabbit hole....
This is a doorbell coupled to the mailbox so that when the door on the box opens it rings in the house. The doorbell itself has been hacked to play the blues clues mail time song, which my twenty something year old sister loves. The goal for this project was to not have to buy anything else. This was done entirely with scrap on hand.
Decided I needed a pull out arm rest. This was made with the last of my scrap wood.
Note: still use it 4 years later.
For my Birthday I made myself a "Cheese Cake."
No today isn't my birthday!
The family still is not allowed to tell you when it is.
I had a quiet birthday, just like I wanted. It was perfect!
If you don't know when my birthday is it is because I don't really do birthdays, holidays, and most weekends. When I lived alone I only realized it was my birthday when I got a call with a bunch of screaming maniacs, my family, singing as terrible as they could, purposely, reminding me it wasn't just a workday.
You see when you know, without doubt, you should be dead many times over, birthdays become trivial.
Spend a few years sick unto dying, everyday is a new birth.
So to celebrate being completely debt free and After years of talking about doing it... I finally made the sleeper for my pickup. The top two are from last night, it was raining and I didn't have a place to stay so I pulled some of my stuff out of storage and made a bed. Today I invested $40 in lumber and elevated the bed. I will be making drawers and such. As well as a way to cover the windows.
Spent some time today with my father making a bed frame for the wife and I.
The pistons are on the way so that it can open without injuring my shoulder... Again.
No the ninja turtles are not my bed sheets.
I have Batman someplace around.
Finally did this one.
Ariya loved it.
Although this was the last time the tree had anything remotely looking like decorations on it.
Next year will be better.
Ariya wouldn't stay out of Heidi's stuff... Now she cries at not being able to get into Heidi's stuff.
It isn't pretty but it is effective.
They wanted $50 for a rail on Amazon.
