stonepicnicking_okapi1. Crafting! A lot of my energy is going towards crafting. SSCP #1 is on its way to its final destination. SSCP #2 & #3 are underway. I have taken to using my bed as my workspace which is not ideal but it is convenient (and there's a big fan to keep me cool). I have only made one accidental slash to the comforter. I will post about the projects later in the year as they are gifts.
2. Too many fics spoil the okapi. I want to get my Bun Koo fic done so I can think about my Spook Me prompts. I have learned a lot about caring for rabbits. I just need to sit down and THINK. (and then, of course, sit down and WRITE).
3. The boys' father is having Buyer's Remorse about the Aruba trip which is manifesting in an unprecedented interest in saving money and household finances. To be fair, he has NEVER done anything like booking that trip in our 20 years of knowing each other so it's not surprising that he's second guessing himself. But it is annoying the way his anxiety is showing itself.
4. I enjoyed Conclave by Robert Harris (a novel about picking the next Pope) so I got another by him about the Dreyfus Affair (an event that sounds like would've been on my high school history test at some point). I like it. It's historical fiction based in real events. I am also reading the BTS book.
5. I had planned to do my long run today but bailed and did a half run. Maybe Friday.
11 SEPT: Libraries Remember Day: Do you have a favorite library?
I like our local library. The boys prefer the one in the system that is in the rural area because it is larger and has a different selection of graphic novels.
12 SEPT: School Picture Day: Do you have a favorite school picture (yours or someone else’s)?
Once in a while, the boys take a really nice school picture and I buy it. It's happened once or twice with each of them. Minor took an excellent track photo. It was so much better than his soccer ones. He really looks cool.
13 SEPT: Bald is Beautiful Day: Is bald beautiful?
Some people can pull it off!
14 SEPT: Fall Astronomy Day: Do you have a favorite planet or constellation?
No. I can rarely see them in the suburbs.
15 SEPT: Cheese Toast Day: Have you ever had cheese toast?
No, cheese toast for me.
16 SEPT: Guacamole Day: Do you have a favorite way to eat guacamole or a favorite recipe?
No cilantro! With chips, with nachos, on any kind of taco or quesadilla or Mexican food derivative.
17 SEPT: Voter Registration Day: Do you vote?
Absolutely. By mail these days.
