Our four day weekend! At last!
No real plans. Tomorrow we'll have dinner sometime around noon or one. I've got reading and beading and napping and book editing to do all weekend. I'll go to the bead shop probably on Saturday.
As much as possible.
Have a good day
Much love,

I have not and will not wear a mask. I won't pretend to be sick to appease peoples' fears. Masks don't prevent the virus from spreading, per the CDC. I was kicked out of a grocery store today for not complying.
It isn't a law. My head did explode, I was so angry. I want this stupidity to end. They've politicized and weaponized an illness that has a 99%+ recovery rate and has multiple ways to treat.
I'm not going to play their game.
Rosalind is pleased when she's invited to Cassel House to help her friend, Louisa, prepare for her upcoming wedding. But that's not the only event on her agenda. The trip will also afford Rosalind the chance to see Devon Winterbourne, the newly minted Duke of Casselmaine. Devon and Rosalind were on the verge of betrothal before the infamous Thorne family scandal derailed their courtship. Now Rosalind wonders if there's a chance their love might reignite. Devon is as handsome as Rosalind remembers and it's clear the attraction they once shared hasn't waned. But their time together is interrupted by one crisis after another—not the least of which is an awkwardly timed request for help from Louisa's friend, Helen Corbyn. Not long ago, the untimely death of Helen's brother, William, was ruled a suicide, but few people truly believe he took his own life. Helen needs to know what really happened—especially since she's engaged to the man some suspect of secretly killing William. While Rosalind desperately wants to help, she fears her efforts might cast a pall over Louisa's nuptials, not to mention her reunion with Devon. But when another untimely death rocks the ton, Rosalind has no choice but to uncover the truth before more people die...even if her actions threaten her future with Devon.
Leftovers for dinner. Curse of Oak Island and Making the Team on TV.
Have a good day

New week.
But it's a three-day-er.
I had a pretty good weekend. I went to the bead shop on Saturday. I worked a little on the book I'm editing for a friend. I finished one of the Christmas present beaded bowls. I started to watch a new show on Amazon Prime that I'll be able to binge over the long weekend. The Expanse.
Based on a book series. Both the series and the TV series has gotten good critical reviews, especially for its world building.
Nothing really on TV tonight. We'll do dinner, I'll read maybe and then bed.
Have a good day
Much love,

Sorry no post yesterday. Receptionist out ill. But the weekend is nearly here at last after a busy week.
No real plans for the weekend. I should go to the bead shop. It helps to carve out the time and be around the energy of people beading to inspire me.
I've been wanting to do something like these these Christmas ornament icicles and I finally found a Youtube making them.
At the bead shop there are trays of miscellaneous beads in the various colors. I want to go through the white tray and the red tray and see if I couple make a couple in each color.
Yeah, I always have ideas. And good intentions.
Otherwise, no plans. Napping, editing, hanging with the dogs, etc.
Have a good weekend
Much love,

Steve's got the gun range tonight. I'm glad I don't have to figure out dinner.
Nothing on TV for me. I'd like to try to finish the ornament I'm working on. We'll see.
Only a couple days to go.....
Have a good day
Much love,

Tuesday.
I'm hoping we'll watch The Curse of Oak Island tonight.
The team finds evidence of an industry on Oak Island before Money Pit was discovered..
Steve is getting quite put out after seven seasons that they haven't found treasure.
I need to do beading. I need to put some time into editing my friend's book.
A distinct possibility.
Have a good day
Much love,

Monday. Dark. It's in the 40s but feels colder. We all want to go home and take naps.
And none of us are cranky, just overwhelmed by nap-ness.
Currently reading THE LITTLE SHOP OF FOUND THINGS by Paula Brackston. 1st of Found Things trilogy.
Xanthe and her mother Flora leave London behind for a fresh start, taking over an antique shop in the historic town of Marlborough. Xanthe has always had an affinity with some of the antiques she finds. When she touches them, she can sense something of the past they come from and the stories they hold. When she has an intense connection to a beautiful silver chatelaine she has to know more. It is while she’s examining the chatelaine that she’s transported back to the seventeenth century where it has its origins. She discovers there is an injustice in its history. The spirit that inhabits her new home confronts her and charges her with saving her daughter’s life, threatening to take Flora’s if she fails. While Xanthe fights to save the girl amid the turbulent days of 1605, she meets architect Samuel Appleby. He may be the person who can help her succeed. He may also be the reason she can’t bring herself to leave.
Published 2018; 316 pages. I'm liking it but I sometimes get annoyed at Xanthe when she seems so helpless with the ghost. Grrr.
I hadn't realized that the fourth season of The Crown on Netflex was this weekend. I thought it was going to be later in the month. So I accomplished nothing. I binged.
It's the Diana years.
I went to the bead shop on Saturday. No class. No class until the new year. But I worked on this bowl.
It was a test to learn the pattern. This is what I was thinking of giving the office people as a Christmas gift -- something unisex but everyone getting the same thing. I was thinking of something to put keys or change or whatever in. However, this pattern is very small. I want it to be bigger. I think I've figured out enough about it doing it on Saturday to make that happen.
Nothing on TV tonight. May just have dinner, read, and go to bed.
Have a good day

People today have been ... looking to excuses to get into arguments.
I don't even want to play that game.
Nothing on TV. I do have to clean out the freezer. Refrigerator repair person coming tomorrow afternoon.
Have a good day

Wednesday. Yesterday's birthday was uneventful.
No I didn't bead last night. When I got home our fridge was beeping so that took a while to fix.
And. no, actually turning on/off wasn't it .... UNPLUGGING it fixed the damn problem after listening to it beep for and hour and a half and cleaning out things. I wanted to kill it. I was thinking it was cold out so I could move the food outside and it would be fine. And Steve.
Steve has the gun range tonight. I dunno. I want/need to bead. I want to read. I want to do nothing.
I CAN commit to bedtime.
Have a good day
Much love,
