Seeing eye to not eye

[susandennis]

I just don't see eye to eye with the people here. We don't share the same hymn book we are not on the same wavelength. And it's me that is pretty much the one off. Big things and little. I've learned to just shut the fuck up most of the time. And I do enjoy spending time in my apartment with me. So it's not a disaster. I'm not wrong but I am on the side of the fence that has plenty of room.

Thankgod I don't run this place or have any decision making powers over any of it.

There is a woman here who does 3D plastic canvas needlepoint. Her stuff is on display this month and the legend near the display says she has done (and has) 50 of them - nearly every one in the Mary Maxim catalog. Holy fuck how and where does she keep them all? I can see doing one or two but 50? It's like me and the miniature kits or Lego kits. When they are done, then what?

I did hear back from the CPA who said he would follow up with admin today. I think my return is just stuck in a pipeline. But, it is done. I just want it done, done.

No plans for today. I will have to crack out of here this afternoon for the house cleaner. I'm fine with that sacrifice. There's a puzzle in the elbow that needs attention.

It is the neverending problem with making art/crafts - what to do with the results? Partly one of the reasons that when I was painting at home during lockdown, I went to *smaller* canvases vs the 16x20 ones that the in person Paint nites were doing.

But yeah - I have BOXES of 16x20 paintings in the garage just...sitting there from the in person paint nites, LOL

You have the right idea - you make your bunnies and monsters and then...they leave!

When my Mom moved from her big-city suburban life to a small village where most of the married couples were unions of people no more than one village apart, she found she could make polite conversation and such but mostly didn't really connect with them.
