Glow

A while back I had an Idea

I kept seeing the pictures of glowing driveways that looked like rivers of stars.  So gorgeous and finally I went searching for the pebbles that made the glow.  

I tried some rock in an aquarium shop that had a natural phosphorescence. While I love looking at them I quickly realized that it would be way way to expensive for those rocks to have been used.   With an amazon search I found the plastic pebbles I could buy them by the pound at a fairly reasonable price so I ordered a bag of blue.  I played with the pebbles for a bit and started popping them in jars and other votive holder. I set many around on shelves and scattered some on the floor for the cats to play with.  I noticed the glow when I walked in the dark house  and they made me smile.  I put little votives  near the light switches.  I set them in areas where they could mark tripping hazards.

 most I ended up giving as gifts. 

I ordered another bag this time in white.  This bag was a little disappointing 

the bag was ripped open and the pebbles were scattered all over the shipping box. But that is something else. 

I think I will make a YT tutorial on this.  I was surprised that I could catch the glow with my camera.

should I or shouldn't I ?

I have been thinking of working more on my YT channel.  There is an infomercial on hope to make money which would be lovely problem is it is not a cheap investment.   basically $1k but if you can get a good following there is a chance of really awesome income.  Sadly I am going to have to let this opportunity pass. 

 Between depression and the lack of inspiration I am currently dealing with  I think this will go the same way my massage career went.  Somehow I just don't see me making money in this area of my life.


there are things I am passionate about. cats being one of them. My creativity has been in such a funk lately! 
I have been trying to get the cats to model for mebut Olwen is the only one putting up with it and even then for all his gorgeous fur He is not the model that M'Agnes was. 


Oliver is much more photogenic but he is rarely around for pictures.And this boy is such a scraggly mess!   at least his fur is finally growing back.   Maybe next year he will have a full coat.  Canyon is gorgeous and has potential.

thought and updates

I have been feeling the spirit of Isolde watching me a lot lately.  Isolde is the one I lost when M'Agnes came into my life.  

Isolde will always be special, she was my first as it were.   She was suppose to be my roommates cat but she always followed me.  She would curl up in my bed and slide her paw into my hand as we slept.  She was my purrfect little model and would strike the pose whenever she saw the camera in hand.   She helped me knit, she would curl up in the middle of a hank of wool and slap down the sticky bits as I was rolling it into a ball.   Her look of betrayal when we got the swift was epic.  Needless to say I did not use the swift around her.   

Isolde is the reason I ended up with so many cats around me.   She could no tolerate being a singleton.  She always had to have other cats around her.  if there were none in the house she would seek out neighborhood cats.  

Right now I feel like I am waiting for something but I don't know what it is.   Just something is about to happen.  The edge of chaos is near.   I am trying to take better care of myself  I have started taking care of my skin first now I am doing rice rinses on my hair.   It has gotten longer and thicker than ever.   oddly it is now also super wavy!  recently I started to work on my nails and have seen the improvement.   The ridges are gone the 'hangnails' are minimal.  They have not noticeably grown but they are denser and less inclined to snag.

I am loving Live love polish even if they are more expensive than I would like.   thing is it is worth it as the polish stays on my nails longer than a few hours.  They also have fun formulas like the thermals.  with how my circulation is I can see which fingers are colder than others as the thermal shifts.

Long time no post

I need to get better at this.   I have been dealing with depression and between the mental exhaustion of work and the need for sleep I have been not able to write.

I have been trying to save the cats in the parking lot at work this is Lui.  he is thankfully safe.   I got him to a lady that is super happy to have him in her yard and hopes to eventually lure him in. He was the last one.  As of this minute my colony at work is gone.  All my lovely black kittens are missing.

Cobweb is safe and is being spoiled

not the best picture I admit but she was too busy to sit still. 

The little Siamese that looked like a clone of M'Agnes is adopted.  That was so hard to let her go.   But her new dad is spoiling her rotten.  She has at least 7 towers whatever she wants to eat and a vacation home.


I will write again later.
