Just Me

My name is Jackie Reeder. I am almost 54 years old with blonde hair and blue eyes. Age is something that bothers me and I wish it didn't. I am getting paunchy and seriously out of shape. I have many aches and pains and I tire way more easily then I used to. I am a bit strange in many ways. I like art, looking at it and creating it; though if you ask me, I will say what I do is not art. I love music and love to dance even if it hurts my neck and knees. I love gardening but tend toward a natural untamed type of gardening. I make my yard a bit of an art project. I am not a real fan of television but do like some programs. I get bored if I watch the same stuff over and over. In fact boredom is my biggest problem. Anything done over and over, especially at regular time periods tends to make me crazy. Inactivity sets me up to be stressed and yet over-activity also sets me up to be stressed. Stress seems to be a large factor in my life. I want someone to share my interests with but have no patience to deal with people. I like to take walks in search of treasure; visual, auditory, or physical. Pretty rocks, bird feathers, unusual pieces of wood make me smile. I see faces in many things and wonder if others do also. I like food but don't like it to be a main focus of the day or a form of entertainment. I love to laugh and hardly do so these days. I get embarrassed easily and then I get cranky because of it. I am physically demonstrative but it is not all that I am. I want a bigger home because I am a collector of stuff, though mostly I wish I wasn't. I hate that I am never happy or satisfied. I just love creating stuff from throw-away things so I always see things with the idea that it can be used for something. I have to force myself not to pick stuff up off the street and to throw things away that most people would just see as trash.
