"If the time should come when you have to make a choice between what is right and what is easy, remember Cedric Diggory."
Looks great!
- Thank you, @NancyTree, @aku-chan, @Anek!
- Basics
- Today's song: several as I made supper
- Well, today didn't go entirely as planned
- I woke with pained fingers, so no applesauce or crafting
- They're feeling better after care and medicine, so I'm hoping to get to work tomorrow
- Supper did happen regardless!
- Mom and Dad are at the annual church convention overnight, so I'm alone!
- (That was the biggest happiness of the day)
- Vindaloo was made and thoroughly enjoyed!
- The only problem: I forgot naan!
- The sweating has stopped, at least
- Nobu cuddled briefly, then left me for Dad's seat
- At least I can observe the adorableness
- Fell asleep on the couch night before last, but got to bed last night!
- Good: made supper
- Happy: spicy, flavorful vindaloo!

"I’m so happy, cause today I found my friends. They’re in my head."
That lion is incredible! Love the elephants, too. The background colors are so pretty.
- Thank you, @LizardFriend95! There are very few designs I've made for those colors, so backgrounds are great!
- Basics
- No song
- Today I was held captive by Nobu. The only complaints were for food and the bathroom
- I lasted a few hours!
- I also woke to both Casper and Nox, so my day has been great!
- Nox scarpered before I could get a picture
- New beads and clasps finally arrived, so I'm crafting tomorrow
- Mom and Dad surprised me with supper out, so I had a great evening and have leftovers for lunch tomorrow!
- It's really been a great day!
- Good: completed necessary chores
- Happy: cats! Quiet! Good food in great company!
- Basics
- Today's song: Addicted to Love
- It was almost all with my feet solidly on the ground, but I did get good movement in!
- I was looking up recipes for the birthday party we're throwing for my sister and her boyfriend
- (They're 10 days apart!)
- I did a good bit of crafting. Made samples to test colors and finished three designs
- It was rainy and cold, so we had the fire going for hours!
- First time this season!
- Mom put on a series of movies, so I had those playing in my ear while crafting
- Lost Boys, Ghostbusters (1984), and Ghostbusters: Afterlife
- Dad put on Interview with the Vampire after that, but it's not my favorite so music for me!
- A sent me pictures of Stormy! I was not ready for the cuteness!!
- He's getting so big!!
- Productive, great family day!
- Good: finished all but knitting threads of the new designs
- Happy: it's been a great day!

It's such a pretty kitty! 
- He really is, @NancyTree! Apparently he eats everything in sight, too! His mom says the cuteness saves him
- Basics
- Today's song: many as I cooked, Conga!
- Conga! came on as I wrote this, and that's a very hard song to ignore dancing to!
- Made applesauce!
- So. Much. Applesauce.
- I counted the apples and figured I'd make enough for 6 quart bottles
- I filled 9. With a large bowlful left over
- I used Mom's largest stock pot and it worked great! All but 4 apples from a half bushel filled it to the top!
- Going by how my hands and arms are feeling, tomorrow isn't going to be much fun
- But I have enough sauce to share and keep me happy until next year!
- So I'm okay with that!
- Found the canning pot and tools downstairs and am so happy
- I used the stock pot last time and it wasn't quite tall enough
- The special tongs? Life-saver!
- It's been a wonderfully productive day!
- I made it to bed only once in the last 3 days
- Good: cleaned as I went
- Happy: it's done! and super yummy!

- Lost Boys is so 80s campy cringe it's hysterical, @GentleOx! I was plugging my ears at times to get away from it I agree on Ghostbusters, too. Great movies, talked about enough
- Thank you, @WolfDreamer! It's very tasty and even Dad agrees! He doesn't eat applesauce!
- Basics
- Today's song: Start Me Up
- Thankfully, my hands are only a bit sore! My shoulder has been bugging me for a little while, so that's acting up, but I see Tyler tomorrow
- Got to the store and some crafting done
- Otherwise it's been a quiet day
- Fell asleep on the couch again
- Nobu woke me with aggressive cuddles. Again.
- At least I get cuddles out of it?
- Good: got to the store
- Happy: quiet day!
- Basics
- No song
- I moved a bit in the shower, but it's really hard to dance there and not slip
- My new comforter came in and is the perfect size!
- It's the exact same that I already have, but my old one is just too short on the sides
- A size up fixed that!
- Tyler was able to help with my shoulder and set my back straight
- I'm feeling much better!
- Laundry really tired me today
- I'll be going to bed early (got there last night!) and keeping it easy tomorrow
- Drafting new designs and crafting something for sure
- Also maybe baking something
- I have some apples left and a sugar craving
- We have a sprawl!!
- Good: got up early to finish laundry before seeing Tyler
- Happy: Nobu cuddles!
- As jealous as it can be, @GentleOx, being the one they cuddle with is truly wonderful
- Basics
- Today's song: several
- I swayed more than anything, but did move!
- I officially have a cold
- Could be worse! It's just exhaustion and sinus congestion
- Nobu, the fire, and cups of tea have helped greatly!
- I got some drafting done and figured out how I want to change a design
- The problem with every draft is that my graph paper is 1mm bigger than my beads
- So the crafted design is longer and thinner
- Not usually a problem, but when it comes to gonks, rounded it preferred!
- I'll make one if I have time tomorrow
- We're going to Letchworth to see the trees!
- Should be gorgeous!
- Didn't make anything sweet because Dad bought cookies
- Oatmeal Raisin!
- Before I fell asleep on the couch (
), Nobu stole my seat - When I sat next to him, he started purring so loud
- Not great lighting, unfortunately
- Good: took it easy
- Happy: lazy, quiet day
