Stream of Consciousness Saturday

Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is “usual.” Use it any way you’d like. Enjoy!

Today has been not only UNusual, it has been spectacular! You know how it feels when you get to chat with someone you haven’t talked with in years?

I feel like I met with royalty. Well, in my life that’s where family, Cuz’ns land. I’m still smiling.

We reminisced about simpler times hanging out at our grandparents’ home, ringer washers, clotheslines, washtub swimming pools, the kindest people who raised our family. The Sunday afternoons, after church in a house that love built. And that felt usual to us. And we felt blessed.

Friday Fun

Woke up to Christmas hatching out in the living room. My brother decided it was time to try and see how the furries will deal with trees and decorations.
Our John Deere Santa hanging on the room divider, with mermaid tail looking for a home.
Nutcracker trying to hide the stationary bike.
Dragon coming along.
Challenging piano solos
Nice easy carols, easy font to read. Fun, quick to master.
More challenging less known carols like the Wookiee one.
All 7 pages of When Christmas Comes Around (Polar Express)
Probably the most challenging to me sounds the easiest, Linus and Lucy. And one I want to sing with (and my hands take all my concentration for now) Oh Holy Night.

For next year, I hope I start Christmas music before Halloween. I’d like to be more proficient by this point. And I hope I know those last few songs with very little brush up time.

Oh, in case you need to see how gentle goals help: 

I started back to piano last October. The goal: sit and play as long as it’s fun, then move on to something else. At first, I’d only play a song, or five minutes. Today I’ve clocked an hour and a half! And it’s still fun! And I’m not hurting as much as I used to.

Ties waiting for their turn in the light.
The two frogged and reworked. Still not striping up like I’d like.

And a new writing goal: 500 words a day starting today. And work 4 scenes a day on Folie à Plusieurs. But TrackBear is being a BEAR! So I need to find another way to keep track. I did get 637 words in a zoom sprint with Yvensong.

How was your Friday finale?

Sort of. At least had fun.

Sunday Funny

Or at night or during a nap.

Funny how the funnies aren’t so much.

I remember we ‘grands’ spread out on our grandparents’ floor after church. Not laughing, unless Silly Putty was involved. The colorful comics seemed more truths than humor

A couple stood out over the years. The one above (but my parents wouldn’t allow a dog inside to sleep.)

One little guy with a huge sombrero in a wagon his rope lassoed on a star. I think the caption was ‘aim for the stars and when you find the one you love, hang on.’

Another was eighth notes hanging out on the piano. One sitting on the music stand covered with cobwebs. That one says, “How can you tell I haven’t practiced?” See? Truth.

Here’s to Sunday Funnies

The mouse ran through the tower that was a knight, that night to save his friend.

Finishing Friday

I think I already shared this.  But glad to move on.✅
Started a dragon.
These will be frogged so I can even up the stripes.
These were as big as those above, but the stripe was so far off I couldn’t deal with it. The balls on the tips of the needles are the froggy bits.

The other socks are sitting quietly until I can get back in the groove.

With NaNo over I’ve made up my mind to write at least 800 words a day to keep the writing muscle activated.🤞

With lots of sight reading of Christmas songs, I ran across this fun ditty. It’s being added to Lucy and Linus, and When Christmas Comes to Town songs to learn this season.

Milo, in his favorite place. Watching over those inside and out.
Shiloh, top shelf. Sammie next down. The curtains are in constant danger!

So anyway, I was smiling at Shiloh and Milo as they spread out on my bed. I laughed and said they were my identical twins like the Pea soup guys.

My husband couldn’t remember that. He was raised in So. Cal. too. So I looked them up.

Enjoy. Not our favorite soup. He didn’t like the peas. I didn’t like the bacon.

Loose Ends

December 2, 2025

I’m finding myself at loose ends. Yet editing happened in the morning. One hour of Christmas pianoing happened. I finished the balloon diamond painting. Duolingo gave me ad-free time so I spent a lot of time on French, Spanish, and German.

Did NaNo drive me so hard? maybe knitting will settle me down.

Or should I aim to keep writing like a mad person?
