Today's happy places
Though I screwed up a couple of times early, my Queen Anne's Lace crochet scarf is coming along nicely. It's delicate, lacy, and beautiful. I found a single skein of purple yarn with a bit of glitter in my stash and decided to bust something out.
Even though my iTunes messed with me and decided to NOT sync my new Welcome to Night Vale playlist to my phone, I could download the Bandcamp app and stream the new recording of a live show. It's debate time, y'all!
I've been reading and listening to so much Jane Austen and Austen-tributes ("Pride and Prejudice and Zombies", "Shades of Milk and Honey", etc), that now I'm moderately obsessed with making some Regency clothes. Currently, I regret nothing. My wallet and sewing table may regret this in short order, however.
I GET TO SNUGGLE MY NEPHEW TOMORROW!!
I get to do henna for a couple hours at the studio tomorrow and maybe make a bit of cash. I rescued a shoe box that's the right size and covered it with brown paper last night. I started doodling on it and filled it with my henna kit. I felt crafty, thrifty, and proud that I actually finished something.
I have enough virtual coins on my habitRPG to get a fancy coffee. Whee!
I'm getting pretty good at basic German on Duolingo. It's fun! And it's a game that rewards me with triumphant music when I spell, speak, and read correctly. Once I get through German, I may brush up on Spanish. Fun!
Life does not suck. Even though Ox was up a couple of times in the middle of the night and Emi is full of drama and it's STILL raining and cold, it's the first of May, I've been paid, and my obsessions are getting fed. Life Does. Not. Suck.
And coffee always helps. Off for coffee!!
