So, it’s been a while. Not sure if daily updates will ever be a thing again, but I’ll keep trying! CONTINUING STUFF: Are you watching Gargoyles? I’m almost to the end of Season 1. When I get there, I’ll let you know, and anyone who wants to have a Gargoyles chat (with food? With a drink? While taking a walk?) will just have to hit me up! Same goes for those of you reading New Warriors... though I a only through issue 7 right now. We won’t be able to chat about this one until the end of the comic book club, so... keep it up! And, of course, Animal Farm is getting closer to the big discussion event at the end of the month. How is your reading coming? I’m behind... PREPARATION: Check out the Hy-Vee Beer, Wine, and Food Expo this weekend (I’ll be there Friday night if you want a Jawa Badge...). We’ll be going to an Iowa Wild game on the 14th! And The RSVPs are still open for the Love, Simon movie event on the 16th. I think I have the drink for that party figured out... Reflection: Day 32 [November 3]It was garage cleaning day! We purged a ton of stuff from our garage, which resulted in some donations, some garbage, and a giant pile of things I now need to list on eBay. The best part was getting to spend the day with Tom as we walked through boxes and bags and totes of memories... and plotted what our next steps and our future might look like. It’s all part of the master plan to build an addition on to the house... but to do that, we need to reduce our stuff. Yes, that seems counter-intuitive. Just roll with it, it makes sense to us! NANOWRIMO Update: Total words up to 2586 Reflection: Day 33 [November 4]
Reflection: Day 34 [November 5]This was a Monday. It had work! It had projects! It had a copious amount of planning for Thanksgiving! Pomegranate Stuffing, yo. Reflection: Day 35 [November 6] So, this was Election Day. I worked a long day, then we walked down to vote. The results of the night were mixed, nationally and especially locally, but I am glad to see so much engagement in the process. I want everyone’s voice to be heard... even when I don’t like what their voices say. I believe the way forward exists, and I believe that people will come together and take care of one another in time. Politics doesn’t change those beliefs... but sometimes I have to make myself remember that. Also note that NANOWRIMO has not been happening properly for most of these reflections. It’s a problem. I’m working on it. Reflection: Day 36 [November 7]I vacuumed up a bunch of leaves from our back yard! To reward us (Tom did this a few days ago as well), we went out for dinner to the Whiskey House, which I have mentioned before as being a place that I love. It’s Old Fashioned Week... and i have definitively learned that I like Old Fashioneds better than I like Manhattans. Now we know! :)
I also started a strange project last night called “No More Clothes on the Floor” and I will let you know how that goes. It doesn’t SOUND like a hard thing to do, but... yeah. It is. For me, anyway. And I watched some Gargoyles while I was folding clothes. The Edge is a GREAT episode. I forget how much I like what Matt adds to the show... and teh Red Steel Clan Robot (no spoilers) is one of my favorite things in all of Gargoyles. What can I say... I loves me the bad guys.
