Today is not going to be a very productive day for me I can already tell you that.
I won't go into a lot of detail, but...
It started last night. A feeling that grew into a reality that helped cause a late night and just...
I'm a basket case.
Conversationally, did you know that basket case not only means a person or thing regarded as useless or unable to cope. but also, a country or organization that is in severe financial or economic difficulties, especially one that is unable to pay its debts.
Well now ya do...
Anyway, look at this kind of wonky thing I made yesterday. It's a place for me to set things in. I was bored last night, wanted to create and had popsicle sticks. I actually bought the popsicle sticks to incorporate into another idea, but...
How's your Friday?
Fri-YAY or Fri-NAY?

Yes, it does make me think of an easter basket!
Thank You! I LOVE the purple color.
Thank You, I hope it will get better. I just want to hug two friends and throttle another.

@CarolDM Thank You. And now I've just got the idea for making the lamp out of all purple colors. 
I'll need to do some research though, don't want to make one and have it be a fire hazard.

@ScribbledAdNauseum Also, today is beautiful out, sunny and clear blue skies. I opened up the curtains today. I love it when the weather is nice because it makes me feel better.

@AngelisaQT Oh yes, it's definitely a beautiful day. I'm letting the sun shine in and hopefully soak some of this tension I'm feeling away.

@ScribbledAdNauseum It really frustrating. Luckily, they stop chit-chatting and laughing outside their house. If they do this late at night, I will surely call the policemen in town.

Oh no! Noisy neighbors are terrible!
My house sits elevated as opposed to my neighbors. This makes any noise from the neighbors place echo up to us. It's frustrating.

@Shavkat Yes, we have sound ordinance laws here. I believe by 10 pm they must be silent.

@paigea Thank You.
That's odd. I feel like kids those age need that rest period and if not the kids then the adults.

And when we are out of sorts, feel like everything is falling apart, is the time we usually create a masterpiece! You are no exception, I love what you made:) It's very useful and nice looking, too

@ScribbledAdNauseum Regardless of when you made this, you display characteristics of a very creative mind! Thus, anxiety flare-ups, more often than we'd like.

Ah, I was wondering what you would do with the colorful popsicle sticks 
. I just came back in from working on an area where we will grow sunflowers - I pulled out some crazy thick weed root systems that maybe have been weaving since dinosaur times. My popsicle sticks will serve as seedling markers 
.
Hope you have a restful weekend! I will not pry . . . but I know I get similar feelings . . . hoping those things can get resolved soon for you!

Ah yes, I've seen popsicle sticks used as seedling markers before too. They do come in handy for that!
Thank You. It's probably not going to be resolved today, but hopefully tomorrow things will be mended or it will all fall apart.

@ScribbledAdNauseum That would be cool. I remember when I was younger I was in Girl Scouts my mother was the leader and we made napkin holders out these type of sticks.

Me too. I might actually add more to this but before I do I was thinking of cutting away some of the sticks at the bottom and making a space for a light. This could be made into a cute lamp.

We had one that was about the same width but the length was a lot more.
We didn't do a lot of popsicle crafts as a kid.

Not quite..
I'll have to take pictures soon, but at the moment I need to get back to the dollar tree and get a few of those things I didn't think I'd need.
This, however, I think I could turn into a lamp. I saw a youtube video with a long rectangular popsicle base and one of those hanging light thingies. I'm thinking about doing that maybe instead of my lantern...
Yeah, I'm really worried about a friend.

I'm glad your day is doing great.
I really hope things start to mend, it's making me crazy. I want to pinch the map so I can get two friends together and they can talk this out.
