Things to do around the house

A while back, I wrote about Home Alone, the classic family movie, a Christmas tradition for some.

A habit of mine is to flip through printed materials for ideas and etc.

I never knew I was more of a learn by doing person until recently.

It's great that I have strength in my body and some dexterity.

I still drop things and shivers a little when I am nervous for trying to do something for the first time ever or doing something I find easy and difficult to do at the same time.

Cleaning my room and reorganizing the backyard has been truly memorable. It also reminded me of the phrase "wear and tear".

In my home, there are a lot of "weared" materials but they can still be tear some more.  For example, it took me a few seasons to break down the fence that has been teared down and left unattended.  The original two men team did not budget for a clean up crew.  I've been diligently breaking the fence down by taking nails out with the back of my hammer and stacked my WIP neatly at a corner each time.  The fence required more processing as rusted screws or nails were still sticking out!  By the end of this process, i came to know the hammer quite well.  I also have some used wood stocked in the shed.  

I also had to axe down a few broken branches of trees on my family property. Harsh winters and all (Not talking about this past winter btw). By the end of this raw wood breaking process, I remembered the novel titled "the hatchet" which was read because it was part of the curriculum.  This book was part of a series so I ended up borrowing the other novels in the series at the local library for further reading during summer or on weekends.  Reading, definitely a favourite past time.

While cleaning messes left by my family or nature, I saw unfinished projects or unnoticed projects throughout my home for when I have time.  Here is my highlights:

1.  I will be upgrading three of my dolls because sitting on the shelve and collecting dust has damaged them.  

2.  I might try to finish my attempted driveway maintenance work from grade 5 or 6.  The ugly unfinished work is still there.

3.  I plan to add a window to the attic!  I have never been to the attic before, but I've noticed that people started adding windows to the attic area of their garage.

The attic I believe is a great place for keeping pets like rabbits and birds.

Hopefully, you remember what Tuesday is!

More Shit to come

Okee and I continues to use our feet a lot so we continue to eat and rest.  We can still shit therefore I have been diligently collecting all of her aware shit.

I am planning to dig a few holes and just put it under some bricks layed on unpaved soil.

I am not sure if I should do that because I am scared it might damage the soil by hardening it or I might put some unknown disease into the yard so for now I have put them into some isolated pots that usually break easy when empty after a hard winter.

That Q Dog

When I was young, I enjoyed a lot of good action movies.  There are always many funny fight scenes involving the use of chopsticks.  One scene is an empty restaurant and the wait staff fighting off mosquitoes or one fly with only the use of only one pair of chopstick.

It is very important to know how to use chopsticks properly or you will be like Mr. Q who kept looking at the shadow of a fly and kept trying to jump on it, a soft front land each time and all of a sudden take am empty air bite to the side while wiggling the tail at the same time.  Perhaps Q was practicing mixed martial art with the fly all the time.

Other chopstick jokes include picking dog shit up with a pair of chopsticks or being paid a penny for returning a match box filled with as many flies as you can find.

Out come the newspaper to figure out how to get rid of pest.

Chopstick, dog, newspaper all like to follow some sort of pest.

I still remember cutie Q.
