Halloween. This used to be my favorite holiday of the year. Now it's just another day for me. It sucks that the joy has gone out of it for me. I used to really enjoy making a costume and going out in it. I think this is partially my ex-husband's fault. He never got it. He didn't understand why a grownup would have so much fun with it. Cause I did have fun with it. I loved making Nina's outfits over the years. My favorites were the dead Egyptian princess, the mermaid and the geisha. It's also my own fault because I don't make time for it anymore. I'm usually too busy with some project to pay too much attention to anything else. Like right now. I'm trying to teach myself basic electronics. When I was in high school I used to dabble a bit. I can use a soldering iron and mostly read schematics. I'm working on that part right now. And refreshing my math skills. :P Math doesn't like me. I have a feeling I'm going to be saying that a lot. The thing is that I want to be able to build my own solar powered battery charger and stuff. If I build it myself then if something goes wrong it's easier and cheaper to fix it. Logical, right? Like to told dad, it's not that I don't like things to explode, but only if they are SUPPOSED to explode.
