Louis's Journal

Hello and welcome to my personal blog! Just a place to talk about stuff I'm thinking about or working on.

Last week I took a trip to the glorious Home Depot and got myself some peat seed starters, and I planted some carrots, cabbage, lavender, thyme, rosemary, parsely, beets, and onions if I recall correctly. These guys should be germinating within the next month, and I have some other seeds that I plan on starting closer to spring so that they all line up in time for the last frost. Additionally, I did some work on my project car, and finally got her running after over a year of sitting in my driveway. She purrs like a kitten, now I just have to get her registered. I have also started reading a new book, House of Leaves, by Mark Z. Danielewski. A pretty interesting read from my novice understadning, so I am pretty excited to read it and talk all about it here. Last but not least, I have finally found some pen-pals to converse with, and I hope to relish in those letters very soon.

So now that the weather is (kinda) finally getting warmer, I have begun planning my garden, but because I have procrastinated so long, I need to start that stuff this week otherwise it will be too late. Last frost is supposed to be in the first half of May, and if I want to plant stuff in the ground by then I will have to start the seeds now. So, I plan on going to the hardware store ideally today or tomorrow and getting some stuff and starting the seeds. My latest batch of mead also should be done by now, so I'll have to find time to bottle this weekend. Other than that I have just really been longing for a pen pal, I need to get over my fear of putting myself out there.

Okay, I know I haven't posted since last month, I won't go into too many details but I have been dealing with my mental health. Good news though is that the weather is greatly improving and I have a lot more motivation to partake in my hobbies! I have been doing a pretty good job of staying off of mainstream social media, though due to the current state of the world, specifically the United State's foreign policy, I have found myself as an unwilling subject to the 24hr news cycle. I don't like being a doomer all the time but i find myself gravitating towards that realm often. But, like I mentioned earlier, the weather has been a lot better, and hopefully I'll get to do some exploring soon.

Hey sorry for the recent inactivity, contractors have been visiting the house very often and work has been pretty hectic, but I am not going to give up on this project, its good for me lol. I really need to start some writing and getting recipes down, as I cant start the seedlings yet, but other than that life is pretty normal. My goal for this week is to get outside more and meet some of the other townsfolk in a natural manner. I have also created a SpaceHey profile that you can check out in the contacts tab (please friend me), there I will be posting more personal blogs and more nebulous thoughts and feelings compared to my creative works here.

Finally got the other pages linked!!! Gonna work on getting some actual content uploaded to the site, and to get the contact page fully fleshed out. It's been way too cold to even consider the garden stuff right now, but perhaps some writing will appear soon.

Hey sorry for the lack of updates, I've been working on deciding what I actually want to display here, ideally garden progress, creative writing, and some general philosophy, perhaps some recipes (although I am nowhere near a professional chef and am 100% self taught). I would also like to include some kind of chatroom/discussion board but I am not skilled enough to impliment something like that.....

Snow is really coming down out here, but hopefully the power is on long enough to get some more features included on the site. I need to figure out how to scan typewritten documents and create a gallery/post board asside from just editing in html.

Founded this website! I am so excited to be able to use this as a place to share my creativity! still a lot of work to do though (idk anything about coding, this is hard)
