House Guest

I have a house guest with me for the next week. Crystal is hanging out with me while Brenda, Mike and Brendan are in Florida. Crystal is getting a bit old... is blind and deaf, but she's getting around the kitchen just fine. Didn't get a photo of it, but it was in the 60s today so opened the patio door, she spent a lot of time sniffing the fresh air.

Round Hole For A Square Peg

Square2

With my new phone, I decided to check out the Square app so when I start doing stuff with my coaching business I can take credit card payments - so of course I also ordered the free "dongle" that plugs in to the headphone jack and lets you swipe cards. Knowing me though, I can see losing the damn thing really easy... 

But I had an idea - I saw a headphone splitter at the dollar store, picked that up, cut one of the plugs off, drilled a hole and put it on a key ring I had. I can clip it to my keychain, my pack or whatever.

 

It's Curtains For You! er.. Me. Sorta.

Ok, they didn't turn out exactly as i envisioned, but I made some "window covers" using polar fleece. The primary goal right now is to keep the cold out. I still have ideas for eventually making them like roman blinds/shades/whatever. Especially the two outter panels so come summer I can raise them a bit for the open windows.

I have a feeling tho these will stay put for the winter and maybe re-do something better come spring or something.
