2017 – Day 10
See More: 2017 – Day 10Tuesday, January 10, 2017 Neither one of my alarms went off this morning. Funny thing that right now I’m taking Probability and Statistics in college and one of the probabilities I’ve had to work out was the odds of two alarm clocks both not going off and it’s a very small number. Perhaps I should buy a lottery ticket. Speaking of probability, I failed two attempts at my assessment for Probability and Statistics, and as a result, am having to go back and vigorously re-read ALL the material and take a LOT of tests. Mind you, I only failed the second assessment by […]
2017 – Day 9
See More: 2017 – Day 9Monday, January 9, 2017 Good thing school was cancelled today; the roads still haven’t been plowed at 4:30 AM. At least we won’t have to worry about buses getting stuck. Hopefully, the snow plows will get the roads cleared up today.
2017 – Day 8
See More: 2017 – Day 8Sunday, January 8, 2017 *Humpf1!* Woke up to frozen pipes this morning and the plumber in the family is in Everett until late this afternoon. What’s strange about this is that it’s relatively warm out – 6º, not like the -20º weather we were having last week. I’ve neglected my laundry for way too long and I’ll be ironing for a couple hours this morning, but since I have no running water, I decided to go get a breakfast bagel and iced mocha from the Rocking Horse Bakery. The town is still slumbering. I spent all yesterday honing my sewing […]
2017 – Day 7
See More: 2017 – Day 7Saturday, January 7, 2017 Woke up to -9º outside. It’s hard to believe that in just a couple short months it’ll be hiking season again. Today I’m taking an “off” day from my eating program…that’s not to say I’ll go hog-wild, but I got cleaned up and drove into town to Rocking Horse Bakery and enjoyed a breakfast bagel and an iced soy mocha (even in a deep freeze I still love my coffee iced). Sitting down in the back of the bakery contemplating what I want to do with my Saturday. Since Tiago’s on the wet side till tomorrow, I can […]
Designing a logo for “huntermouse”
See More: Designing a logo for “huntermouse”Now that I have a website, I guess it’s as a good a time as any to design a logo for my website. “Huntermouse” was one many nicknames my parents had for me growing up. There was also “Young Luke”, “Hunter-Bunter”, “Popeil”, El Bunturro, just to name a few, but “Huntermouse” was the one my folks most commonly used. My idea for a logo is to use a small case “h” and integrate it with a mouse design. Here’s my first rough design I did in Adobe Illustrator. I like the concept of this design, but there’s a long ways to […]
2017 – Day 6
See More: 2017 – Day 6Friday, January 6, 2017 My favorite day of the week. I’ll have the house to myself this weekend; my husband is heading over to the coast with friends. What to do. I’m thinking I’ll go visit my folks and there’s a couple sewing projects I’d like to tackle. One is making a toiletry tote and the other is sewing a couple bread bags out of utility cotton – lighter weight than canvas. I bought a French baguette bag from the Mazama store a year or so ago and I’ve been completely captivated by the idea of swaddling home-baked bread in […]
2017 – Day 5
See More: 2017 – Day 5Thursday, January 5, 2017 Another late start for school. The surrounding school districts already made the call for a two-hour late start and we’re somewhat obligate to follow the pact. I was at work at 4:30 AM. Four more hours and I’ll take a break and go to the gym. There’s also going to be a bond information tonight at one of the local elementary schools. I’m on the bond committee and really want to work to get our district’s $130 million dollar bond passed so a new high school and a new elementary school can be built and do […]
2017 – Day 4
See More: 2017 – Day 4Wednesday, January 5, 2017 It’s cold! One of my responsibilities as the Assistant Transportation Manager for a school district is to make sure weather and road conditions allow to safely transport students. That means I’m up at 3:30 AM and I go out and drive city and county roads. This isn’t my favorite time of the year since I need to change my sleeping habits. I generally work from 8:00 AM till a 6:00 PM, but on days like today I’m at work by 4:30 AM, I’ll take a three hour break around 10:00 AM, and then back until 6:00 PM, which […]
2017 – Day 3
See More: 2017 – Day 3Tuesday, January 3, 2017 Noon. I wrapped up some chores around the house which included cleaning the kitchen, moving my unfolded laundry from the guest bedroom to my office, and getting all my things collected for heading back down to Moses Lake. Now I’m about to enjoy a vegetarian burrito at Three Bears Cafe in Winthrop and contemplating whether to go back down to Moses Lake through Bridgeport or Wenatchee. Back to work tomorrow. I’ve enjoyed having almost two weeks off for winterbreak, but it’ll be good to get back into the rhythm of work. Also, I’ve put on […]
2017 – Day 2
See More: 2017 – Day 2January 2, 2017 Not much to report about Day 2. Sewed two pillow cases for a couple new throw pillows for our couch. I’m starting to get the sewing bug. I’ve got to get into the habit on posting a bit every day, but it’s awkward. I want to delve into understanding WordPress and what better way than to keep a blog and play around with themes. By the end of 2017 I hope to be fairly adept at this.
