This week, my stepmom, aka GrandMaureen, visited. We saw Who Framed Roger Rabbit at our local historic theater on Friday night, then saw Coyote vs Acme this morning — fantastic to see such similar movies and to celebrate toons.
I also worked on another painting from the kit Aunt Laurie sent and baked 3 loaves of bread and took a long nap on a rainy afternoon rather than go out and play board games.
Now Sean is in one room playing D&D with friends online, Peter is his room practicing his Russian for a class, and I’m listening to book 6 of Dungeon Crawler Carl series while looking at event options for Dragon*Con next week.
#LifeIsGood
I have about 8 outfits, 2 pairs of shoes, and 5 pairs of earrings. Less to choose from. I brought all the various face masks I’ve had laying around and some painting kits. No house projects. Half as many streaming services.
I buy food for only 4 days, not stocking the kitchen. Fewer choices, lots of work, less stress.
I’m thinking Mincemeat and Buena Vista
Clue! Hadestown! Tommy — maybe. But it’d be good to be early sponsor/supporter.
Lakeland Community theater
I’m thinking maybe Beetlejuice, Desth Becomes Her, Hamilton
Eh. Maybe Shucked.
Spamalot, oh Mary, Alicia Keys
You know what makes me happy lately?
Seeing news stories that I know nothing about — being out of the loop is lovely.
Compression socks. Because I am An Old.
Seeing Peter eager for classes again and being able to support him through this.
Getting to know Nora as an adult
Deleting project ideas from my To Do list app
Sleep
Getting things done around the house — hung up art in foyer! Getting a bid on porch expansion!
A reminder:
"The measure of a life is not what you consume, but what you contribute.
Spend less time owning, consuming, taking. Spend more time giving, creating, making."
— James Clear
Well … I’m buying this larger dough proofing bucket to make more bread for friends!
And I’m working on painting and cross stitching many already purchased projects, and not buying more.
What made you happy this week
