I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Also, I need to report that there is snow much closer to me than there usually is. It’s between me and the nearest Noah’s bagel!

My plans for the weekend are housework and feeding alley cats tomorrow morning, then taking Mom to see my cousin in hospice in the afternoon. (He's fading fast, so this may be our only chance to visit him.) Sunday I think I'm going to pivot from my planned horror movie to seeing 80 for Brady or Cocaine Bear instead

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Epic, so much vibeage coming your way. Thanks for the catch-up.

msbelle, I'd like to have a word with your work--the whole building actually. If only I could.

Stay safe, unacustomed SF, as well as other places innundated with snowmageddonagain, winds, and wintry whatnot. Meanwhile a meany friend in NC tells me the apple and cherry trees are blooming, and the daffs and forsythia and all sorts.

askye, I know things may be different for you, but after my colonoscopy I was so loopy and hazy there was no way I could have driven, much less stood on my feet to work afterward. Maybe you should take the whole day off, if you can.

My four hours+ of blissful alone time starts now, and we even had a nice swim followed by a pleasant breakfast at our usual place this morning, so I'm awake and in a good mood already. Bonus.

What to do, what to do...

I think there will be much puttering.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Thanks. It’s been forever since the girls saw each other. We were supposed to have New Years at noon on NYE but that also had to be canceled due to illness. They just adore each other and both are so sad today.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Dang it, the kaleidoscope class is cancelled because the other 2 students in the class didn't confirm with the instructor. I feel like this is the universe telling me that making crafts is just not for me. On the plus side, if this was a sneaky front to get one of my kidneys, at least that plan got thwarted!

Maybe I need to look into blacksmithing. Does that count as crafting?

Or maybe pottery! There's a 4-week clay hand building class on Saturday mornings at the rec center in my neighborhood that starts next week. My brain just really needs something new, man.

Go pottery, choose pottery!

Okay, I'm all registered for clay hand building!

Nice!
