There's an Open Artist Studio tour in my area, so a friend and I checked out a few. People do amazing things. There was a bunch of blown glass that was so lovely and colorful I wanted to lick it. (I refrained.)
You two carried me through that war. Now I need you to carry me just a little bit further. If you can.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
All Saints Day is today, and All Souls Day tomorrow. It's no Viking ship on fire, but I will inscribe Connie's name on a leaf of the Tree of Life at my parish, and she can join the rustling and murmuring all month long as the wind rises and falls and rattles the windowpanes.
I think it's already too late to add her name to the ribbon my church does for the Sunday closest to All Saints Day, but I'll certainly be adding her name to the list of beloved dead to remember at this time of year.
I've become more accepting of my own mortality over the past few years, but I'm not ready to feel the same about everyone else's.

Congrats, Sophia!

I love the all saints/all souls things.
I had my first disaster. Kitty knocked over a full thing of coffee! But I cleaned it up!
Since I have this comfy new bed, I hate to leave it, but before Aidan comes to take out the recycling from the bed I need to
- clean off bookcas
- clean off tv and stand
- clean two radiator
- ckean end tabk
- bin the rest of the keep pile so Aidan can take to the attic
- steam the stiarway and alcove carpets. (Optional).

Nana korobi, ya oki. (Fall down seven times, stand up eight.) ~Yuzuru Hanyu/Japanese proverb
It always helps to have help when you feel overwhelmed by your own mess. Nicole came to my place once and we spent the weekend just busting through everything. I got rid of a lot of stuff. Now that my son lives with me, who's a bit OCD, he'll pull stuff out of a closet and make me sort through it for Goodwill or trash. You should see my freezer. It's not alphabetical (he's dyslexic), but it's tidy. I can actually find stuff. It's mostly moral support and accountability. Makes me miss the Navy when I had a weekly inspection and had to keep up or face the consequences.

I'm glad you have help, Sophia. I'm so impressed with your progress!
I dragged ltc out to lunch so that TCG can take the leaves in peace.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
The neighbors raked our leaves yesterday, and my mother was thanking the dad effusively until he whispered, "It's an activity!!!!" Hah.
