When did DIY become MIY?

Do it yourself to Make it yourself?

Aren’t they basically the same thing? Or is this one of those subtle marketing things that boys do and girls make? Or am I over thinking this?

Probably overthinking since I have been up since 6:00AM and still having had coffee. I dealt with a few things around the house including the leavings of two cats with stomach upset. I’ll have to review the food again to see if there is a pattern or if the cats were just being greedy guts.

Caroline is off to a friend’s Bat Mitzvah today at the same synagogue that Ariel had her Bat Mitzvah at over 10 years ago. Then she is going to the party and will be home later today.

I plan on doing things around the house and get cracking on finding some puppets that are misplaced that I need for Caroline’s play.

I have been overthinking a lot of things lately. I have stepped away from the Internet a bit just to clear my head. Facebook, through no fault of anyone, has been not a great place to browse. I am just not in the best headspace to deal with things that annoy me right now so my solution is to avoid it.

Yep, I am going to be a bit selfish and take sometime for myself. But I know that if I don't I am going to be out of sorts in the real world and stepping back keeps me grounded with what is important.

I am grateful for anything that gets done today.

I tend to think of Make It Yourself as referring strictly to crafts. Do It Yourself (to me) means more home repair kinds of things: tiling floors, fixing plumbing, etc. But that could just be me.
