The Waiting Game

Posted on by Gertie

Good Morning, World!!! It is nine thirty-six in the morning here in Seattle. I am waiting for UPS to deliver on of my medications and I am getting frustrated. I have never had any of my medications delivered before and I am not if I am going to ever do it again. This is why I prefer going to a brick-and-mortar pharmacy as I hate the waiting grame.

As I wait for UPS to deliver my medications, I will be doing some artwork as my cat, Billie sleeps in my lap as he snores. The type of artwork I am planning on doing is diamond art/painting. In fact, I will be working on the one I started yesterday, the diamond art/painting of a tuxedo cat in a tree. The reason why I chose the one I am working on is because I am partial to tuxedo cats as my cat, Billie is a tuxedo cat. I really do enjoy doing diamond art/painting.

I do not have anything else to discuss or write about in this particular blog post. I do want to thank you the reader for reading my blog. It is greatly appreciated on my end of things that you the reader read my blog. If it was not for you the reader, reading my blog, I would not be continuing to write my blog.

I Got a Good Night of Sleep!!!

Posted on by Gertie

Good Morning, World!!! I surprisingly got a good night of sleep last night. Part of me wonders if the reason why I got a good night of sleep is because I am still not feeling well. I am grateful for the good night of sleep and I wish I didn’t have to be sick to have gotten a good night of sleep.

On the note, the weather doesn’t look as yucky as it was yesterday or at least that is what it looks like when I look out my window. Then it again it is still dark outside. Let’s hope that the weather is not as yucky as yesterday as the day progresses.

No matter what the weather is today, I am not going to do much of anything because I am still not feeling well. I probably will just be staying home and cuddle with my cat, Billie. I love being able to spend time with my cat, Billie. I am grateful that I have my cat, Billie in my life. He has made my life so much easier to cope with the challenging times in my life.

Speaking of cats, I am planning on continuing to work on the diamond art/painting that I started on yesterday of a tuxedo cat in a tree. Part of the reason I chose this particular diamond art/painting is because it is a tuxedo cat and my cat, Billie is a tuxedo cat. I really enjoy doing diamond art/painting and I am so very happy that my neighbor introduced me to this particular form of art.

I do not have anything else to discuss or write about in this particular blog post. I do want to thank you the reader for reading my blog.

My Fifth Post of the Day

Posted on by Gertie

Good Afternoon, World!!! It is three thirty-three in the afternoon here in Seattle and the weather is still yucky. I am also still not feeling very well which really sucks. As much as being sick sucks, if I wasn’t sick, I would not have needed to miss my volunteer shift at PAWS Cat City which means I would not have been able to do some artwork today. As much as I wish I could have volunteered at PAWS Cat City today, I am happy that I was able to some artwork.

As I have mentioned in my multiple previous post today the artwork that I am working on is a coloring page and diamond art/painting. I even posted a picture of the coloring page that I started as well a picture of the diamond art/painting that I had not yet started at the time of my last post. I have since started my diamond art/painting. In fact, I took a picture of the started diamond art/painting, and I will share. I will put captions on the picture for those who are sight impaired or blind. The picture is just below this paragraph.

The starting of the diamond art/painting I have chosen to do. It is a tuxedo cat in a tree.

As you can see above of the diamond art/painting is that of a tuxedo cat in a tree. I chose this diamond art/painting because it is of a tuxedo cat and my cat, Billie is a tuxedo cat. I admit it that I have a bias toward tuxedo cats because of my own cat, Billie and I am not afraid to admit it.

I do not have anything else to discuss or write about in this particular blog post. I do want to thank you the reader for reading my blog. It is greatly appreciated from my end of things that you the reader, read my blog. If it was not for you the reader, reading my blog, I would not be continuing to write my blog.

Still Feeling Like Sh!t on a Yucky Weather Day

Posted on by Gertie

Good Afternoon, World!!! It is six minutes past twelve o’clock in the afternoon here in Seattle. The weather is still yucky, and I still feel like shit. Right now, I should be volunteering at PAWS Cat City but sadly I am not feeling well and did not go in as I don’t want to get anyone else sick.

Since I have not been feeling well, I have been doing some artwork. I was going to work on my diamond art/painting project, but I did end up coloring. I colored a mandala or at least that is what I was inform it was when I ordered the coloring page. In fact, I have a picture that I will share of the diamond art/painting that I will be working on as well as the mandala that I started coloring. It is my plan to share them with you.

(So, if you are sight impair or blind I will be adding captions to the pictures I will be posting.) The pictures are following this sentence:

The diamond art/painting of a tuxedo cat that I am going to be doing.
The mandala that I started coloring today.

I hope you enjoy seeing the artwork that I have been working on and plan to work on. I really do enjoy coloring as well as doing diamond art/painting. If I am unable to volunteer at PAWS Cat City today due to not feeling well, I am glad that I have some artwork to do especially since it is a yucky weather day here in Seattle.

I do not have anything else to discuss or write about in this particular blog post with the exception of that I wish that I was not feeling like shit. I do want to thank you the reader for reading my blog. It is greatly appreciated from my end of things that you the reader, read my blog.

Feeling Like Sh!t

Posted on by Gertie

Good Morning, World!!! It is a yucky weather day here in Seattle and I feel like shit. I feel like shit because my cold is not getting better. I wish I knew why I was not getting any better, but I am doing my best to feeling better. At this point in time, I am testing negative for covid which is a good thing. I am so very glad that I have so many take home tests for covid so I can test myself. Just knowing that it is not covid it is relief in itself.

Since I am relieved that I do not covid, I am a bit sad. I am sad because I am not feeling well, and I am not able volunteer at PAWS Cat City today. I look forward to volunteering at PAWS Cat City every Sunday. It something that I enjoy doing and it gives me a sense of purpose. Hell, I consider volunteering at PAWS Cat City fun. Yes, I know it sounds odd that volunteering with cats is fun, but it is or at least it is fun for me. It is not only fun, but I find it enjoyable as well.

Even though I will be missing out having fun with cat and enjoy time with them I can spend time curled up with my own cat, Billie as I start a new book today. I will be starting the third book in a six-book series called Fire & Brimstone by Nikole Knight. I am enjoying the series, and I highly recommend reading it. I am looking forward what the third book will bring to the story so far.

Besides reading and cuddling with my cat, Billie, I will be doing some artwork. I will be starting a new coloring page today as I finished one yesterday. I will also be continuing to color a giant poster which is taking forever and a day to do but I am enjoying it. Of course, I will be continuing to do the diamond art/painting project I started working on recently. The diamond art/painting that I am currently doing is that of a tuxedo cat in a tree. If you are regular reader, you know that my cat, Billie is a tuxedo cat which is why I picked the diamond art/painting that I am currently doing.

I do not have anything else to discuss or write about in this particular blog post except I have I feel better as I do not like feeling like shit. I do want to thank you the reader for reading my blog. It is greatly appreciated from my end of things that you the reader, read my blog.

Wide Awake at 2:34 in the Morning

Posted on by Gertie

Good Morning, World!!! It is two thirty-four in the morning here in Seattle. After my last blog poste yesterday, things didn’t go as I had planned but that is okay. I had planned to do a diamond art/painting of a tuxedo cat in a tree, but I got sidetracked. I got sidetracked by deciding to learn how to use a PowerPoint. Yes, I know it’s a little late in the game to learn how, but it never hurts to learn. I am teaching myself to use PowerPoint because I am wanting to present a conference that is solely focused on peer specialist. The cool thing I am learning about PowerPoint is can actually get creative with using it and I think that is awesome.

After starting to learn how to use PowerPoint, I realized that I needed to take a nap as I was tired as hell. Needless to say, I am now wide awake. I truly didn’t mean to sleep for so long especially since it was supposed to be a nap and not an average night of sleep for me.

Now that I am wide awake from an extra-long nap, I plan on doing some artwork. The type of artwork I am going to work on is a diamond art/painting project. The diamond art/painting I am doing is that of a tuxedo cat in tree. I picked this diamond art/painting because my cat, Billie is a tuxedo cat. Yes, that means I am very partial to tuxedo cats.

Maybe it is a good thing that I am doing diamond art/painting because the weather is yucky in Seattle right now. Yes, I know it is the middle of the night, but the weather is supposed to get worse as the day goes on. I’m not a big fan of yucky weather but it does make a great excuse to stay inside.

I do not have much else to discuss or write about in this particular blog post. I do want to thank you the reader for reading my blog.

A Quick Saturday Afternoon Check-In

Posted on by Gertie

Good Afternoon, World (again)!!! It was my goal to stay home all day, but I realized I needed to go get groceries as I didn’t have much to eat here at home. So, I went grocery shopping. Well, technically I went to the farmers market first. When I went to the farmers market, I bought me a breakfast sandwich that one of the venders sells. After eating the breakfast sandwich, I then went grocery shopping and bought some essential foods. Sadly, I couldn’t afford eggs once again.

Now that I am home and have put away my groceries, I am now sitting down with my cat, Billie in my lap who is purring up a storm. As my cat, Billie lays in my lap purring I am about to start some artwork. In fact, I am going to be doing some diamond art/painting. The diamond art/painting that I am currently working on is that of a tuxedo cat. It so happens I am fond of tuxedo cat and the reason being is that my beloved cat, Billie is a tuxedo cat. I am so glad that I found a diamond art/painting project with a tuxedo cat as it will reminds me of my cat, Billie.

I do not have much of anything else to discuss or to write about in this particular blog post. I do want to thank you the reader for reading my blog.

So Far Lazy Type of Saturday

Posted on by Gertie

Good Afternoon, World!!! It is just a few minutes after twelve o’clock in the afternoon here in Seattle and so far, it has been a lazy type of Saturday for me. It is a good thing that it is a lazy type of day for me because I haven’t been feeling all that well for the last few days. I have been sick with a cold so just staying home and being lazy today is a good thing.

Since I woke up this morning with some great sadness over the loss of both my parents withing a two-month period, I realized that keeping myself busy would be a good idea. So, I figured out an idea how to keep myself busy at home without needing to do anything major. I decided to read a chapter or two in the book that I am currently reading. It turns out I ended up reading more than a couple of chapters. I ended up reading for almost two hours and I finished the book that I was reading. It was an awesome book, and I am looking forward to starting the third book in its series.

After finishing my book, I decided to start doing some artwork. I started out by coloring and ended up finishing up the particular coloring project that I chose to work on. I am so happy that I finished up that particular coloring project because I can now give it to the person, I colored it for. Since I finished a coloring project that is when I decided to do a diamond art/painting project. The diamond art/painting project that I am currently doing is that of a tuxedo cat. I chose this particular diamond are because my cat, Billie is a tuxedo cat. Billie is the reason I have a special place in my heart for tuxedo cats. Anyway, I made some major progress on the diamond art/painting project that I am doing.

I do not have much else to discuss or write about in the particular blog post except that I feel like today feels like an accomplished and productive day and it is only half over. I do want to thank you the reader for reading my blog. It is greatly appreciated from my end of things that you the reader, read my blog. If it was not for you the reader, reading my blog, I would not be continuing to write my blog. Again, thank you from the bottom of my heart for reading my blog. Peace Out, World!!!

Friday Evening Plans

Posted on by Gertie

Happy Friday, World!!! I have had a pretty productive day so far today and I am proud of myself, and it is few minutes after one o’clock in the afternoon here in Seattle. I hope me saying that I am proud of myself for a productive day doesn’t sound like I am conceded or narcissistic. I volunteered this morning for Alley Cat Project, did an entire chapter in a recovery focused workbook and started a continuing education course that I am halfway through already. Oh yeah before I forget, I also did some artwork. I worked on some diamond art/painting as well as did some coloring. I not only feel like I was productive today, but I feel very accomplished.

After having a productive and accomplished, I am planning to hang out with friends in an hour or two. My friends and I are going out for a late lunch. We are going to my favorite restaurant which is Red Robin. I love Red Robin and something many people do not know is that Red Robin started here In Seattle. Red Robin starting here in Seattle is not the reason why I love eating there so much. The reason I love Red Robin so much is because they have awesome food.

After dinner at Red Robin, I plan on coming back home and having a quiet evening at home with my cat, Billie. I plan on two main activities when I return home from Red Robin which are reading and doing some artwork. The book I am reading is the second book in a six-book series. It is a queer dark fantasy book as is the entire book series. As far as artwork goes, I most like will be doing a diamond art/painting. The diamond art/painting that I am currently doing is that of a tuxedo cat. Part of the reason why I chose to do a tuxedo cat is because my cat, Billie is a tuxedo cat.
