At the moment, I am using hubbys laptop (which is a hand-me-down). It is old and I do not know if it is capable to work with me lol This is like the first time I am really trying it out. I wanted to transfer photos/video off of my mobile but it will not be happening due to my mobile being an Apple (has different connecting cord). That is a bummer! My storage is to the max and I want to clear it up so I can keep taking screenshots & screen recordings of the eagle nests I am following on YT :) 

That is my new thing: E A G L E S <3

Hope everyone is having a lovely weekend! I am having an unpleasant one but that is okay. I have to suck it up, buttercup lol Just kidding. But yes, I am not feeling too good (something I ate) and I am also dealing with pressure sores *sigh* I had one a couple of months ago and it healed but it started up again and I was very careless. So now, I have to wait for this one to heal - hopefully with no problems

I am itching to be back on like I used to and work on creations. I see everyone posting amazing sig tags and I just go gaga over them (or goo goo)! lol 

See you all later, gals 

 

Hey there, my fellow TreehouseTreasure-ers! I hope this new week is starting off well for everyone. It has been weird here with sunny/hot weather and some thunderstorms, here and there. Luckily, we are safe in our part of south TX. We are nowhere near the disaster area, as seen on the news. Such a tragedy :(

I have been keeping busy watching my little "love", TE3, an eaglet in Trempealeau, Wisconsin. She is too adorable! Two days ago, she flew away from her nest for the FIRST TIME and she finally returned this morning <3 I was so happy that she came back. But she will be coming and going for the next 3 wks (more or less) and then she will be off on her Life journey, soaring other skies and exploring the world. 

I truly hope you are all doing well and staying as healthy as can be <3

Just checking in 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hello Marycielo and Lucia , it's so good to see you checking in!

Hello, Karla, long time no see .  I'm so happy to see you posting again .  I'm sorry it's taken me this long to check in and reply .  It must have felt like you were talking to yourself LOL, sorry for that.  I have enjoyed seeing all your updates with what is going on in your life .

I'm super happy to hear you've got a version of PSP working, and that you also got AS to work!  That's amazing!

Since you last heard from me, I have been surfing the web on a laptop (not my favorite way to surf).  I haven't even turned on my desktop computer in years OMG, so I don't know how that will go when I do .  So my access to PSP is none at the moment .  I tried to install PSP on my laptop using my disc, but the install requires Adobe Flash Player, and that program isn't on my laptop .  How depressed I was that day .  I'm sure there's a way of doing a manual install of the files onto my laptop, but I haven't made it a priority as I have other life projects that need my attention.  I'm afraid that if I have PSP to play with I won't get those projects done .

So what is the project I'm working on, you may ask.  It's been many, many years that I've lived with too much stuff that I've held onto in my life from the passing of family or friends and I have felt a little (well, maybe not so little) overwhelmed with having to store and/or care for it all.  Luckily for me I put a hard stop on purchasing new stuff , but I'm still left with the volume of old stuff hanging around and blocking the flow of energy .  After that last illness I had that lasted for years, I've just about had enough .

I found some great decluttering channels on YouTube that I've been watching, and they have really inspired me .  Before finding the channels, I was so overwhelmed with the process that I would quit .  This quitting happened year after year after year *sigh*.  But I found a girl who teaches a method that I can work with, so my decluttering process has begun.  Gone is the old coffee mug collection LOL.

I wish I could do more faster, but the weather has been awful for us this time of year.  Apparently we have Summer in Autumn LOL.  Instead of having lovely cool and breezy days, it's been hot, humid and today we even had some rain .  The weather is all over the place .  I don't move very well when it's hot, so I've been getting cabin fever waiting for it to cool enough for me to huff and puff LOL.

After my years of illness, when I was recovering, I heard someone use the expression "mental health walk".  I had never heard that expression before, so I thought I'd go on a walk and see if it helped with my mental health.  It's not like I felt happy after walking, but I felt good that I was able to get outside, which is something that I didn't really do before.  You'd think I was afraid of the outdoors by the way that I lived .  So I've been trying to walk 3-5 times a week to get exercise.  I heard that walking is supposed to be good for your brain, and I could use that too .  We have a grocery store about a mile away, so hubby and I walk as often as we can and go to the store and pick up whatever we need and then walk home.  So it's about a two mile walk.

The illness that I had took a huge toll on my body.  I lost a ton of weight and I'm sure much of that was muscle mass unfortunately .  I was so weak at times that I could barely stand .  I even remember setting a timer for 10 minutes and doing what I called "standing exercise".  Basically I stood on my feet for 10 minutes before I would gladly sit down again LOL.  And now I am up to 3-5 times a week walking and even getting some bicycle riding in.  I am seeing a change in the strength of my legs which gives me such a relief as they were so weak, it scared me .  I've been walking regularly now since about April, so it's been months and I'm thrilled with the changes I've seen in my body.  I wouldn't have believed it could be done.

So have I written a novel yet, or maybe just a short story? LOL  I just wanted to fill you all in on some things that have been going on in my life and why I haven't been around as much as I'd like.

Once again it's wonderful to seeing you all checking in.  I look forward to one day returning to the art form that I loved for so many years.  Also I'll try not to be so shy in checking in.  Sometimes I feel like I can't think or speak , but I'll try to post more, even if it's just to say hello.

I hope you all have a wonderful day, week, or rest of the month, as the case may be.  Take care!

Big hugs,
