So what has happened in the last 24 hours?? Today is realization day.. I got the video project done yesterday, in fact when I wrote the entry yesterday I had just completed the "Golden Heart" video that I said was the last video of the project but it was the third from last as two more semi-ideas were completed and then the door was slammed shut.. The second disc of music videos was set to be burned and completed last night.. I watched the first disc and was happy, however I saw where there was a redundant issue.. Too many of the same idea and two videos that were almost identical but with different audio tracks on them.. Today I set the entries on the flashdrive and there will be five full entries of six videos that will run over the next five months (one a month), and will be preset for whichever Sunday.. Haven't decided which yet.. Thirty of the forty videos will be seen on the PNOP site.. Why not have them over the next five weeks?? Because too much of a good (?) thing might be too much..
Saw the entry on the local radio station about the expansion of Sidney by 800 houses.. Talk about aggressive (BE AGGRESSIVE) ... Of course they won't all be built at once (I wouldn't think) because then there will be a quality issue to contend with, and the forthcoming economic crash (supposed)... The plans are for a new hospital (crock but hey) new police station, new school. and of course that new condo complex which I have said all along probably won't go because people would rather buy a house than a condo and in the big city here there really isn't a true desire to live in a condo setting, and Sidney has so much development spaces for housing unlike bigger cities where condo and apartment housing is a must (stack the people) where space is very limited.. But it sounds like a good idea, just not that important to people who have buying a house on their mind. It would be nice if the houses were the affordable kind.. By affordable I mean work one job and be able to buy the house with everyday living expenses figured in there.. How many people have to work two jobs and have a third money making venture in there as well??
So today I will put some of the Christmas stuff up.. All of it will be outside, since today and tomorrow will be nearly 70 degrees, and I thought why wait until the week before December to do this stuff, next week might be chilly (willy) so I think I will get a few things done.. Thinking about getting a string of those white crystal light type of light bulbs for part of the outdoor, maybe the tower.. I checked last night at ten to see if the light on the top of the tower was still lit and it wasn't so, then I thought well then.. But then I remembered the top light is the star light thing, so I might just string the coloured lights again this year.. But whatever I do if I do the new lights tomorrow it should still be warm enough to do them..
There was a site that was up last year that showed the hottest selling items on Amazon and one of the things that was on there was a massaging cane thing, that I really thought might be a good thing to get, if not for me then for mom.. As I looked at it I saw that there was another thing that might even be better called a Body Back Buddy and it was a thing just like the cane only it had a curve on the other end and all the reviews were good on it, and the price was right at around twenty dollars so that was what I got for Christmas last year and it has been used almost every day on various parts of the old body, from the back to the neck and just everywhere.. I mention this because up to the day I saw and ordered it I didn't have a clue what to tell mom to get me for Christmas (beyond having my eyes checked later).. I think I ordered it around the nineteenth of December and we got it on the 23rd.. talk about cutting it close....
The other day while with mom at the walmart store she looks at something and I had already looked at something else for her but didn't get it.. When she was looking at this thing I was glad I hadn't got what I originally was going to get.. it was obvious when she was looking at this thing why she would want it, and thankfully I was there while she was looking.. Subtle hints and the rare memory click and I was able to get that.. She didn't say she wanted it, but I got it for her anyway.. I want to get more for her.. I hate having three things to open to her one on Christmas morning, so this year I plan to rectify that.. They won't be expensive but hopefully they will be "the thought that counts" type of gifts..
