WORK
So, life's been pretty busy lately, I've been working quite a bit at both of my jobs - Wendy's and a local gas station, a lot of people have quit or been fired and there's plenty of work. I've worked some long days, sometimes both jobs - some days, like yesterday, I worked thirteen hours at one job. I usually work on the register, but all next week at Wendy's I'm going to be working on the grill.
PHOTOS ON CANVAS
I wanted to get Mom something really special for Mother's Day, so I decided to get one of my photographs printed on a canvas for her to hang on the wall. I chose the photo of Waikiki from the top of Diamond Head, taken back in December when I was in Hawaii. I wasn't sure how it would turn out, but it turned out great - the photo really pops on the canvas, more so than on the computer screen.
FILMING FOR YOUTUBE
I'm preparing to film some new videos for YouTube. I've been wanting to do a video with toy trains for awhile, so I've purchased a few new trains on eBay and I'm planning to film a little something while on my next trip, if everything goes to plan, God-willing. Speaking of taking trips, I want to shoot some more vlogs and stuff while traveling. Finding time to edit is the problem, just like all the footage from all my previous trips, languishing on my hard drive!
THOMAS WOODEN RAILWAY
As I'd mentioned earlier, I've begun collecting trains again. Particularly, Thomas and Friends Wooden Railway. Recently discontinued, it's nice to preserve some for the next generation and I've been introducing my nephew to them... He spent all last weekend playing with them while I was babysitting him. :)

Life - May 8th 2018
I keep promising myself that I'll write more for my blog.
I have a list of things I want to write scribbled on a piece of paper to my left, a few more lists in my phone's memos and not to mention the mental lists that are rattling around (no, no, they're rumbling around up there - too big to rattle).
Not only do I want to write for my blog, but I want to finish writing/revising the handful of novels I've started working on, to start keeping a journal and to write short reviews of everything I read and watch.
Those are the writing goals I entered 2018 with, so far I've only done a little of each.
Now, sitting in the dark staring at the blank screen in front of me - unrelated fact, Tim Allen sitcoms are streaming on my phone, probably the only thing keeping me awake at this point - and I realize that perhaps I could begin taking steps toward becoming the writer that I want to be by writing a little about my day to day stuff on here. Maybe it will eventually end up in my journal.
So, I've been off work for the past two days and have been working on filming footage around Harrison County, Ohio for a video application for a summer job I'm applying for in Iceland. I've got a few more places to film before I can edit it and turn it in.
If I don't get the job, I'll carry on with my initial summer plans of a 3 week road trip in June and camping at Alive Festival in July.
Tomorrow I work at both my gas station and Wendy's jobs. So, I'm going to need to sign off here and get some sleep.
