May the Fourth Be With You

It is Wednesday.  When I was doing the A&S Challenge it would be Weaving Wednesday.   In an attempt to continue that, at least occasionally, I pulled my loom out to weave.  Then I looked for the pattern.  I remembered seeing it recently... oh, at the studio!  No weaving for me today.  Instead I pulled out a coloring book.  I had forgotten how relaxing coloring can be.  

This is my before picture.
I had the bull and houses and
a few things already colored 
when I started.

This is the after picture.
I mostly worked on the upper 
left corner.
Colors!

That is it.  Coloring is my happy thing for today.  Okay, I also got good sleep, had a nice conversation with TF and felt way better today than yesterday.  All good things, but coloring is the happy thing that I have as I go to sleep tonight.

Here are some happy things from this beautiful autumn Sunday: Gideon sat by me while I was eating breakfast with a Mad Libs booklet, ready to play. How could I say no? Much giggling and laughter ensued when the character in the story had to save themself from quicksand with a 25 foot long piece of paper. When I am out for a walk and crossing a street I try to nod or wave at the drivers that let me pass. Today I chose to use my earbuds and listen to the book Keziah had recommended,  The Raven Boys, while I walked. I notice a car has stopped to let me by and I wave and see that they are waving me on excitedly. I didn't think much of it other than to try to move a little faster. They pull away and I notice as they drive by that it was Keziah, she stopped to pick me up and I just walked on by! She called a moment after I figured this out. The book was engrossing enough that I didn't see that it was my daughter behind the waving hands. We laughed and I thanked her again f...

Negative

Although it wasn't required, I went to CVS today and had the rapid Covid test. As suspected, it was negative. Since I am flying tomorrow, I felt better making sure.  Other happy things for today: While waiting for the nurse to do all the things a nurse does to prepare for administering a covid test, I noticed something crawling on her neck at the hairline. It was a tick. I took it off her, it hadn’t bitten yet. She was very grateful. I was glad to help. With Keziah’s help, my hair is now colored purple. The picture is before I cleaned off my forehead and my hair was still very wet.  It seems dark... I’m mostly packed and I leave tomorrow. I’ll only be gone a few days. The lilac leaves are starting to open.  There are also the tiniest beginnings of the flowers. ☮ Currently reading: Pocketful of Miracles: Prayer, Meditations, and Affirmations to Nurture Your Spirit Every Day of the Year , Joan Borysenko.

Plumbing

Plumbing problems are frustrating. I'm pretty sure I have done everything right but things are still leaking. But that is not a happy thing, but the following are: Keziah and Gideon put up a fence for Aesop.  He seems to love it in his large fenced area where he can run. On the walk this morning before the rains came I saw some horse hoof prints.   I'm ending the day with a large bowl of ice cream. Through all the trials and frustrations and lack of hot water in the kitchen, and now the house, the family has supported my attempts at fixing it all and don't understand why what I have done hasn't worked. ☮ Currently reading: Pocketful of Miracles: Prayer, Meditations, and Affirmations to Nurture Your Spirit Every Day of the Year , Joan Borysenko.
