Much Ado About Nothing

My husband's latest project

As I was talking with my mom about my dishwashing post, I told her how I would never blog about one thing. Politics.

January was a rough start to the new year, and while I commented on tweets and Facebooks posts, this blog will never cover my thoughts and opinions about politics and global events. I know that it's always danger to say 'never' but I'm feeling pretty confident about it.

I want this blog to be about my writing, my adventures in truck driving, reading materials, mental health issues, and every day normal things. Like how I like to binge watch old tv series rather than watch new ones. There's a few exceptions to that, like Cobra Kai and Stranger Things.

On the bright side, Stranger Things is going to have one more season. That show took me by surprise. I had no idea what it was about, just that it was popular. I began watching it and almost stopped because it was scaring the crap out of me. I don't normally like horror and scary shows.

Robert Downey Jr is my one of my favorites.
So is Halle Berry

There are some movies I refuse to watch after the sun goes down. Mr. Janney and I once watched Gothika before bed and let me tell you, I had a heck of a time falling asleep and when I did, Halle Berry's screams followed me into my dreams. It's not that I didn't like the movie, I mean, hey - it has Robert Downey JR in it. I just have an overactive impressionable imagination that gets me into trouble sometimes.

Back to Stranger Things Even though it was suspenseful, I couldn't stop watching because I had to know what happened next. I guess that means it's a well-written and well-acted show. From what I've read online, the next season has been pushed back because of the good ole pandemic. Just like so many other things. August 2021 is the rumored release date, and it's sooooooo far away.

Cobra Kai never dies

And Cobra Kai. What can I say there? Karate Kid and his rival Johnny Lawrence at their best. With the flashbacks to the original movie, and the attention to detail, it's a wonderful nostalgic trip down memory lane. It alone is worth the Netflix subscription!

Mr. Janney found himself in need of a new television recently. His television was the unfortunate victim of temper during a particularly intense gaming session. So when he ordered a new one, he decided that he was going to need a bigger entertainment center. Him being him, he decided to just build one.

The job is done - just waiting on the new tv

I shared the beginning of his project up above. He does do some prep work, math and all that. As usual though, he never does enough so he had to go back to Lowes at least once. I think this project he had to go back twice. It no longer bothers me, it's just how he is. He's built me a new desk, a kitchen table, a desk for himself, a spice rack and each and every time we've had to make return trips to Lowes to finish the project. I help as needed, usually holding some piece while he saws or drills. I wasn't much help this time around as I was still weak from whatever illness I had.

Here's the finished project with the new tv. It's not quite big enough to fill the whole spot, but I guess it's room to grow someday if he decides to upgrade again.

This post certainly has jumped around! I do that sometimes. If there's ever something you'd like me to write about, just let me know. I'll try to remained focused, but make no promises.

Man, I don't know what it is, but I've been having a ton of formatting issues when writing these posts. Not sure if I'm doing something wrong when I'm adding the pics, or if I should wait until I'm done writing to change the font. I don't know, I'll figure it out eventually.

Until next time, stay safe!
