Rantings, Ravings, and Ramblings

[JCU]

• Basics
• No song
• I was able to make another segment before my brother's favor came by
• Stormy is getting better and better about moving!
• He can now climb over the small fence they got to contain him
• He's also learning to run which is adorable
• Unfortunately, Mom's doing the majority of the watching and doesn't take pictures!
• I'll see what she's taken tomorrow and try to get some myself the next time we watch him
• It's been a quiet day otherwise!
• (Though I am so glad I took Saturday as a lazy day)
• Nobu insisted on cuddles just before I started crafting

• I asked my sister if that looked comfy and she said it did
• Haven't wanted to watch anything new, so the last two days have been reruns: The Mummy and Top Gun: Maverick
• I made it to bed!
• Though Nox leaves shortly before I get into bed, it does mean my feet have a warm spot, so it's a silver lining!
• Good: 1/3 of the way through the big project!
• Happy: I'm making progress!

 

[JCU]

• Basics
• No song
• Another segment done!
• I'm getting really worried about connecting these together, though
• I'll figure it out eventually!
• I'm hoping to make another segment tomorrow, but it's also laundry day, so we'll see
• Planned a supper for the Autumnal Equinox and there are several new recipes I'm looking forward to making!
• Weather changes have my head aching, which is fun
• It's been a really quiet day
• Good: got to bed!
• Happy: quiet and productive day!

 

[JCU]

• Basics
• No song
• I managed a new segment and a revision of my favorite bracelet!
• Between Nobu*, laundry, and sundry chores that segment took twice as long to complete
• But it's done and that means I'm halfway there!
• I'm taking tomorrow to draft and maybe try attaching a segment or two
• My back needs the break
• *Cuddles!

• Then I had to do laundry, found one of his favorite balls, and couldn't craft until he wasn't being a maniac
• He got his revenge!
• I didn't mention yesterday that I watched Death Becomes Her
• Been a while on that one!
• I'd actually love a remake that's not campy. A full on horror movie. That'd be fun!
• Today I just listened to my own thoughts
• I think that's part of what took so long
• Fell asleep on the couch
• Good: finally remade my bracelet
• Happy: halfway done with my project!

You know, it's not your usual style of music, but every time this band pops up in my mix, I think of you!

Ice Nine Kills, all of there songs are basically horror movie themed.

I love INK! I've been listening to older music right now, but I had an entire year where I only listened to Christmas music, so this too will pass eventually

INK is one of the things that actually led me to horror movies again. I watched a few some years back and fellow Bees gave me a list to watch (@NancyTree was so helpful!) but then I lost both any desire to watch movies AND the list. Thanks, brain

Thanks so much for sharing! If I didn't know them, this definitely would have made me curious!

 

[JCU]

• Basics
• Today's song: nothing specific
• Moved to several songs, but most were slower. One was by The Jackson 5 that I did dance to
• I said no crafting. Then I noticed a mistake in my bracelet (). Then I drafted a new design. Then I made the new design. Then I made the new design with matte colors.
• I love the new design, at least?
• The matte colors are so subtle!
• I also got to a few stores and had lunch with Dad
• So it's been a productive day!
• Stormy is so mobile! He still stumbles a bit, but he's so fast!
• He's teething, so gentle chewing is happening. It's so cute

• As cute as he is, my 3 day reprieve is a delightful thought
• My boys are getting bolder in approaching Stormy
• It's tense, but not bad
• A good day overall!
• Good: feline interactions were gentle
• Happy: silent weekend in two days!!

He's a real tiger

 

[JCU]

• We're all super curious to see how his markings grow, @NancyTree!
• Basics
• No song
• It's been a busy day!
• Got supplies to make apple butter!
• A large greenhouse nearby sells apples this time of year
• Did I know I could buy a half bushel?

• Nope!
• (I'm giddy)
• Nine apples have been used so far!
• (The apple sauce isn't my best, but that's because I didn't use Jonagold; otherwise it's )
• Apple butter tomorrow will use some more. I think I'm going to be making several batches
• I had several very quiet hours today!
• And A, my brother's girlfriend, sent me pictures!

• And! I woke to this!

• It's been a very good day!
• Good: productive day!
• Happy: applesauce turned out really well!

 

[JCU]

• Basics
• No song
• I put on music as I washed dishes in the hope it would get me to move
• No go. I did shuffle a bit?
• Apple butter is done!
• That was a process!
• I want to try it cold (I definitely made more than the recipe said and canned only half of it ) to really get a feel for the texture
• I blended the peels, too, and hot the fiber is definitely noticeable
• If I don't love it, I have plenty of apples to try again!
• Other than that adventure, it's been a lovely, quiet day
• All my crafting was food related, though I have a few designs I will be working on after this
• I don't know what caused it, but Nox surprised me today

• I was speechless with happiness!!
• I've had 12 hours of quiet today and they've been perfection
• Tomorrow will have a few less, but still be wonderful!
• Good: from start to finish, the apple butter took less than 11 hours
• Happy: NOX!!!

 

[JCU]

• Basics
• No song
• I crafted most of my new designs
• Took my mini loom into the back room and enjoyed the warmth and fresh air
• It did wonders for my sinuses!
• I also organized all of my excess thread
• That took a while!
• Watched: Ouija: Origin of Evil, Doctor Who
• Quija was pretty boring. Acting was quite well done and the story wasn't bad, but it was so slow! I had it on 1.5x speed and couldn't tell!
• Decided to go back to DW for the rest of my organizing
• Mom and Dad are home safe. Festival season is officially finished.
• I made it to bed night before last and very much did not last night
• Mostly silent day was wonderful!
• Brunch and Tyler tomorrow!
• Good: looking forward to my large product after this detour
• Happy: everyone is home safe after a delightful day!

 

[JCU]

• Daily Exercise w EC
• No song
• Lazy day!
• We all slept in/lazed about in bed long enough brunch became lunch
• I didn't get to my last design yesterday because I wanted to see where a change would lead me
• Drafted that last night and made both today
• I don't dislike either, but I think I'm going a slightly different direction
• Some designs are perfect busy, others need a bit of simplicity
• (This one is the latter)
• I'm feeling the lack of shades in my beads with some new designs
• All the more reason to focus on my big project!
• Watched: As Above, So Below
• Meh. I was just waiting for how the characters would die. Of all the stupid things to do...
• Brother sent me this:

• The differences!
• He's using the litterbox entirely and eating the wet food unprompted!
• Hopes for tomorrow: cookies, segment, new design
• I have nothing on, so I should be able to do it all!
• Good: took a lazy family day
• Happy: Tyler worked me over quite well!

 

[JCU]

• Daily Exercise w EC
• No song
• My day got away from me a bit!
• Completed everything I set out to do!
• The cookies are puddles, but they taste good!
• I have so much apple butter I'll make another batch soon
• I waffled between 2 recipes and obviously chose the wrong one!
• New segment done!
• Also finished the new design with two different color backgrounds
• Then asked my sister for help
• She's my artistic support!
• Watched: Annabelle: Creation, World War Z, Doctor Who
• I think I would have liked Annabelle more if it was visible
• Why are horror movies so dark??
• Are they afraid the story won't hold up to light??
• I yawned several times
• World War Z was not bad! I'm not the biggest fan of zombie movies, so this one surprised me
• I recommended it to my mom, actually, which shows the level of horror it doesn't have
• Fell asleep on the couch two nights ago, did not last night, and just woke from a nap (at 8:30???)
• I'll get there
• Good: finished my list
• Happy: the back room table is a great height for crafting!
