You are productive.
You amaze me with all your computer knowledge.
Wish I could sit down with you and let you show me all these this stuff.

I understand your frustration with government. Believe me. The frustration level is high here in the states.

I know what you mean about slowing down ... My days go whipping by and it seems all I get accomplished is 3 meals and the dishes. Cooking from scratch does take time (but not THAT much time) ... I think of those pioneer women a lot. At threshing time, those ladies had to cook huge meals to feed the crew. How DID they do it?! And with none of the modern conveniences ... and wash (by hand) ... and iron ... and garden ... and ...

The bracelets sounds nice, and it makes it more fun that you make them and enjoy doing it and then you sell them and that is rewarding that other people like them too. Where do you go in Mexico? You did get A LOT done in one day. Canning alone would be all I could do in one day I think.

Boy, are you ever productive! I too -on occasion -wonder how I managed to work a full-time job, plus a part-time job, and stillmanaged to squeeze in a bit of cooking and cleaning. now and then, even a bit of crafting too a few years back. These days, I'm lucky to get supper cooked and dishes washed in between blog reading, writing an occasional post and then, playing with the craft stuff! (The tablecloth though is coming along quite nicely thus far!)
The political stuff though boggles my mind! Our state is supposed to have a budget in place and passed by June 30th and this year, here it is already September 3rd, and they still have not done that so virtually every county now is juggling around, trying to find ways to pay their bills whilst waiting on the legislators to stop quibbling about the budget cuts, etc. Mind you, they have no issues with cutting peoples jobs, or their hours or wages but never do they cut into their own pay, their benefits -like per diems, etc -in order to save money. That all has to come from the residents and taxpayers to them. As you said, we all have to tighten our belts but the politicians never have to do that. Something is wrong with that picture, for sure!
