Another day, another 50 things to do

I have 50 things to do, 48 of which I need motivation to get to. There is another 50 things I’d like to do but currently have no way to do them. This places me with doing two things and with the stress of the other 98 things I just keep putting them off…so I guess I should just keep them with the first 50 ;)

I really need to start delving into the annals of arcane knowledge, especially that of my origins and new (which is becoming old) religion. I can gain the book knowledge, I just need some quiet time to sit down and open a book. The trouble there is, when I find that time I’m generally too busy enjoying it to do anything constructive.

Constructive? Yeah, that’s the other thing…I’ve had a need to build things. Anything! I spent $10 on some craft supplies so I can make a few hand puppets (YAY SOCKS) I have the base of my first one done for the better part though I still need to flesh it out a bit. I think that it will be fun to play with the grandkids with them, and even have them help me make one or two of them.

I have other money that I’ve put aside to build a fort down in the back wood. This fort will be mainly for Lakota, at least till Perrin and Devin are old enough to walk down there and play. We can be Knights or Pirates, we could be Cowboys (or Indians)…we could be anything our little imaginations can think up…but first I need to build it. Our last fort that I talked about had a few issues on survival when we built the Chicken Coop.

I also want to look around to see if I can build a few more bird houses, as I REALLY enjoyed making all the ones I did last year…but costs money *sigh* I also have the plans to build a wheel barrel out of an old plastic [55 gal.] drum. This will most certainly help out around the yard and for hauling stuff around to do other projects…but the only wheels I have don’t really come with a workable way to attach them.

I have this blog, which was an accomplishment, but it still leaves my main page severely lacking. I need to come up with some valid CSS or maybe figure out how to work a simple CMS but reading the manual can be hard…not that I can’t comprehend it though, as that’s generally not an issue. I just can’t read a paragraph without needing to do something else…and I simply can not learn one sentence at a time.

I have some other ideas for web pages, and I can promote them with relative ease, I just don’t have the know-how to actually make them work, and learning to do that would require weeks of study…as I can not even come close to figuring out how to actually code.

I need to head outside and clean the yard, we have all the covers for the plants that died blowing all around…but I can’t go out for more then 2 minutes without Perrin literally climbing up on my desk, or pulling books off the shelf, or having it soooo cold out that I can’t feel my fingers. I do think I can clean the patio off today though, as I can keep an eye through the window…so I think I’ll start there and maybe recompile a to-do list for the morning…
