The current weather is so nice right now
I'm hopeful

The topic: Rabbit holes, rabbit holes, rabbit holes

----------------------------------------------

That's what the past week has been. I start doing one thing, and while doing that one thing, realize that this other thing would be better.

Like the video for the Glimmer crafts, I couldn't get the sound to work. Downloaded an app that I didn't like. Finally figured out the sound and decided I didn't like the camera. It was a cheap one I got a long time ago, and the quality of the video left a lot to be desired, so I ordered a camera like I got for Brian's Zoom meetings with his doctor.

Surprise, surprise, the video was just as crummy.  Guess what? There are these things called SETTINGS! Who knew? Anyway, got that all taken care of, then did a few test videos. Hand's look old (really? a seventy-one-year-old with old-looking hands? Get out!). I had to polish my nails, maybe that would help (it didn't - hands still looked old, but my nails were great). 

While I had waited for the new camera to show up, I started playing with the W R shadow box punch board. So, there was another rabbit hole (I still don't have the folding the edges figured out, even though I've watched multiple videos). The corners just don't look clean.

Meanwhile, paperwork was piling up, invoices needed to be generated, bank account reconciled, bills needed to be paid, and then there was the filing of the paperwork.

Then it got hot. And a nail split at the finger, so I cut them all back. Life is easier now. rotfl

Then it cooled off. 

And I thought (craft videos pushed to the back of my internal to-do list) "hey, why don't I see if I can rip some of these tv show DVDs I've had forever and see if any of my software can automatically split the episode (why, yes, this one will work and it uses AI to better the actual video) which took time. I had to redo a couple of episodes, but it's a learning process. Unfortunately, the subtitles looked awful, so I decided to go with another option for those. But first I had to rename all of the episodes. They were saved with generic names. "Disc 1 title4" instead of "Series name S0XE0X_Title of episode," which had to be done manually and was time-consuming. Once that was finished, it was time to do the subtitles. Which takes longer than I hoped it would, but, hey, what else do I have going on? Right?

Last Friday, when pulling the disks from the cabinet, I realized I hadn't dusted in a while. So, I got hot on that. It was pretty bad. lol...note to self, don't put it off like that again. I need to finish in the bedroom today, then it will be okay for a while as long as I stay on top of it (HA!).

And tomorrow, I'll most likely start on the craft videos again.



I had to laugh while reading this. Isn’t this life ?? LOL At least I am not alone!
