What are you doing now?

Thank you! I sometimes think..."could I really ever do this?"...and then someone in my Facebook group posts an old hand written Italian document from 170 years ago and asks if anyone can transcribe it since they can't read it. And the picture is only 270 kb which makes it look horrible when you enlarge it...even one of the Italian professionals said "sorry, send us a better picture!".

I said the same thing, but then I thought...hey...this is an opportunity! One day I will be visiting libraries in Italy looking at dusty old documents that will not look as pretty as perfected scanned copies do on my computer screen. So I rolled up my sleeves and transcribed it in just under one hour. Missed a few words that were blotted or too hard to read but I was able to transcribe and translate 99.9% of it. And the original poster was extremely grateful.

Not too bad for a guy who has only been doing this for less than a year. Give me a few more years to increase my knowledge and get some certifications and perhaps one day I will make that switch to being a genealogist.

And hopefully one that gets paid a living wage.

Can this election, please get over with?

What am I doing?

I'm trying to push myself to do a She-Ra set, working on the advent for December and REALLY needing inspiration cause I'm blech...

Watching Criminal Minds, doing laundry, playing on tablet, and playing a game on the tablet.

I accomplished one thing today. It's official! I broke my cart I use to get groceries! Thank goodness it broke after I did the grocery shopping. I had gone to another store to get a few other things. It broke on the way to the bus. My mom came to the rescue and got me home.

Oh wow, sorry about the cart. Glad you were saved

Binge watching Trollhunters now, just started season 3. Plus now I have a Changeling OC and not 100% sure on her colors yet.

Uhm, poking the internet every ten two seconds in case somebody somwhere has reacted to something I posted.

Today I'm ripping Barbie movie DVDs so I can have them on my phone while bingewatching Hallmark movies. 

Still trying to decide if I want to make Bitties or Sprites...

I am drinking tea, arguing with my daughter over some craft project she does for a club (she asks for my help, then disagrees when I give her advice. gotta love 14 year olds...) and thinking about what easy to prepare foods we will have for dinner because I am in no mood to cook, and anyway my daughter has claimed the kitchen for her project.

Teenagers ^^ ... and bon appétit! Hope you found something easy and tasty, Sifra.

Sitting in a hospital room with Trollhubby. Three trips to the ER this week , finally admitted. Another cardiac catheterization Monday .

All good wishes for Trollhubby and you, Trollbabe.

*hugs* @Trollbabe Hope everything goes well and glad admitted, so much easier to get things taken care of and they tend to take things more seriously.

Just finished making a mess of fried rice, filled bird feeders and am tirrrrred. Bound and determined to get something done with my characters today. Star Trek Voyager on the other screen.

I hope things will be better with Trollhubby, @Trollbabe, it’s never fun to be at a hospital too long.

Waiting for fimo to finish baking in the oven. It's so fun to model, especially since we found thst old fimo clay that actually still works as lilong as it got mixed up with some fimo liliquid Hobby day is perfect on a rainy day

I came up with an idea for a modern fantasy story: microwave demons. Easy demon conjuring for the busy dark mage.
You (illegally) buy demon seals that you can put in the microwave... Just add salt, a drop of blood and microwave for 40 seconds and a demon comes out...

haha a microwave oven demon...that sounds funny. Do it!

Thanks! I knew there were more people with my sense of dumb humor...
I plan to turn it into a comic.
