Monday.
The boys are at work again this week. Coda did well this weekend -- stayed quiet, no peeing issues. However, we are having peeing issues today. I've already gone through a couple belly bands and he's having squirting issues before I can get a new one on. Meds? Excitement?
The 100 Day Project:
Day 70 (and April Found Object):
Fringe bracelet. Took a while to do. Perhaps I'm getting back into making pieces now that Coda is getting better. We'll see. I like the being creative with no pressure to complete thing.
Day 71 (and April Found Object):
I don't care for this bracelet. I'm not a fan of turquoise whatsoever. The brown beads are found objects -- I don't like those either. But it's done.
I'm also currently reading WORKING WITH WINSTON by Cita Stelzer. Nonfiction.
All politicians adopt a public persona that they believe contributes to electoral success. Though they might reflect the character of the politician, they reveal only a part of the man. What we know less about are the characteristics that Winston Churchill revealed when he was out of the public eye. Much has been written about Churchill, and of the important world leaders, politicians, high-ranking military personnel with whom he interacted. But Churchill also required a vast staff to maintain the intense pace at which he worked. When Churchill strode the world stage, the secretarial and support staff positions were inevitably filled by women. Though extraordinarily talented and valuable to Churchill and his work, these women remain unheralded. He was not an easy employer. He was intimidating, with never-ending demands who would impose his relentless and demanding schedules on those around him. And yet these women were devoted to him, though there were times in his political career in which he was decidedly unpopular. Many reflect upon their years working for him as the best years of their lives. Intelligent and hard-working, these women were far from sycophants. Just as Churchill was no ordinary Prime Minister, these women were not ordinary secretaries. Indeed, in today’s terms their titles would be much grander, as their work encompassed ultra-secret documents and decrypting and reading enemy codes. A treasure trove of insight and research, Working with Winston reveals the man behind the statesman and as well as brings long-overdue recognition to the “hidden army” that, like Churchill, was never off-duty.

Tonight we have Street Outlaws to watch. We're having a fend-for-yourself thing for dinner. I would like to do another found object piece.
Have a good day
Much love,
