Origami Boxes.

Masu Boxes for Money Hearts. I spent a good part of the day watching surfing on TV and doing origami.

And,

Classic Japanese “balloons” – well, they look like boxes.

Have to make these balloons before COPD kicks in, because you have to blow the balloons up. The masu boxes and money hearts are my contribution to the Hotel Xmas Party. I will fill the boxes with various denominations of bills 5,10,20 and 50 and they will be used as door prizes at the party.

And then I need to come up  a model that I can use to give out as tree decorations. The box balloons could work – but they are a bit tiresome to transport. On the other hand they are real easy to make. Would have to figure out how to attach a ribbon.

Such problems. Sigh.

On a more serious note: for the last year, especially the last 6 months – I have had increasing leg issues caused by my degenerative lumbar spinal stenosis. I am not close to considering surgery. But, am trying to devise a program of walking, swimming, and yoga that will help. And, I am trying to avoid NSAIDs as much as possible. Oh well, nobody every said getting old was easy. 

On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart’s desire at last, and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron. H.L. Menchen,  Baltimore Sun, July 26, 1920.
