Pumpkin Spice Season
Book Corner 2021.55
Kind of disappointing, because the letters aren’t allowed to stand on their own. Almost every one is introduced with context, often unnecessary; and worse, each one has a cutesy ‘title’ in italics which is a phrase excerpted from the letter. I trained myself quickly to ignore these titles. I’ve always found it annoying to read something in a pull-out, and then read the exact same words again.
The letters span her adult life and are chronological. It is sad to thus ‘watch’ her grow old.
No new revelations here for any serious fan.
I Don’t Post Nearly Enough Food
I don’t take a lot of food pictures. I’m generally too excited about eating. Sometimes I feel I made something really pretty though. This was last night.
Epic!
We went to Big Spruce last night, which I can’t praise highly enough; and a young woman came by and complimented Xopher on his snazzy shirt, saying it was “Epic!”
A More Timely Photo
Taken today!
Back of the Shack
Picture was taken last week, when things were significantly warmer and more beautiful.
I am well into the swing of things lately. Not having Xopher at home anymore. My crazy new/old job. My dearly beloved ability to groove in my own routine. Remembering that I can’t get anything out of this life; I can only live inside it.

We’ll Always Have Techlab
Holy Expletive, what a day I had at work, back at my “old” job, henceforth known as my “job”, as of yesterday. The big project they wanted me for hasn’t started yet, so I thought in the interim, things would be peaceful, dull, I’d sit around quietly waiting for someone to assign me something. OMG things are such a mess. I had been like, why the hell do they have to pull me back two months shy of the year I was supposed to be rotating? I guess I see now.
And look what arrived today, as if the cheesecake weren’t enough. CoffeeCoin was the “token” project back at TechLab, and my former manager wanted me to have this memento. Good times, those were.
Less Fail
Finished knitting a hat… it’s Capricorn yarn from GMS, a bulky adult mohair-wool blend. It is not impossible that it could contain some of my goats. I bought it white and dyed it. I’m kind of a fan. I think I’ll get some more and dye some in different colors.
Fail
Nobody puts their horrible fails on social media! Well I’m here to tell you, for every thing I do with my hands that manages to come out right, there are at least ten things that are utter fails. I had intended to put some beadwork around this hat. I need a lot of practice finishing beadwork. I’m just gonna ditch the whole thing at this point, take the beads apart, I wasn’t that crazy about it anyway.
