Peace and particulates

[rolanni]

What went before ONE: So, I think this is done. I'll wait a bit and see if I'm Called to do the rest of the dots in French knots. The instructions say "not necessary."

EDITED TO ADD: Someone in comments said that the stars that are not graced with a French knot are further away, and that is brilliant, especially since I had been thinking maybe I should do the smaller stars with one strand, to give the field depth. And here the field already has depth. Duh.

What went before TWO: 500ish new words today, bringing the WIP to +/-63,250. Words really seem to pile up faster once you crack 50,000, don't they?

I am not feeling as well as I would like. I'm thinking overtired, here, so The Plan is to eat my dinner, and hit the bed. If I can't sleep late, maybe I can sleep early.

Trooper ate the tiny can of gooshy CD that I picked up at the vet's today, when I went in to pick up his meds (he's been eating the dry CD forever). I do know better than to buy a case of the stuff, because the next time I offer it, he'll turn his nose up, but I might want to go out tomorrow and pick up another can or two.

No snippet today, I'm afraid. Maybe tomorrow.

Everybody stay safe; I'll see you tomorrow.

What went before THREE: The Long Back Yard is very peaceful this morning.

Saturday. Sunny and cool so far, but They Say it will get warmer, later, and! We're under a Severe Weather Alert due to bad air quality, the villain being particulates. I guess I'll go on to Station Air in a bit. Right now, the windows in my office are open, and each one has a cat on the sill, observing the day.

I used my Audible credit to buy Devil's Cub, and went to bed early to listen, and eventually fall asleep. I don't care as much for this (male) narrator, who seems to think that all women must sound hysterical, which is fine for Fanny, but not at all a good look for Leonie. Still, I did fall asleep, and slept the night through. I woke up at 6, but not because Trooper was smacking me in the face. So that's already a better day.

Had my first cup of tea on the deck; the second is with me here at the desk. Breakfast, so far, was a slice of cinnamon-raisin toast with cream cheese. I have no idea what I'm eating for lunch, or for the rest of breakfast, actually. Sigh. Who is the Goddess of Food? We need to have a chat.

On today's to-do is one's duty to the cats, naturally; signing my ribbon dance embroidery and putting it in the embroidery book; taking an inside walk (ref Bad Air Day); and writing.

I still feel a little ... off. I'll take a page from Steve's book and blame the air. Given the AQI is 157, that seems to be a reasonable scapegoat.

Firefly has determined which drawer in my office chest of drawers holds the Cat Dancer, and was just trying to open it. I guess I have My Orders.

How's everybody doing today?
