Tomorrow my assessment for cataract surgery in Bend. Posting here will rely on how much vision I have after getting my eyes dilated. Needless to say, I’m nervous and excited.

This was a shorter fold up brim. And the crown decrease I love. I have enough yarn for a child’s hat. These are wool so not everyone could wear them. But sending on to the charity. I think they will be warm for those who have to be out in the cold.
I took a day off walking. Between the snow blanket covering the ground for poor Kali’s 6AM outside, developing winds, and achiness walking didn’t happen. The snow was melted by actual wake up at 9AM. ๐ข
Word count as of last night 7,376. It’s coming right along. ๐
The biggie is my CampNano. I am still in the years of vague memories. Though today I’ll move into my seventh year. Word count is 5,407. As soon as I post the blog I’ll get busy writing more. It is different writing memories as opposed to imagination.
So walking was walking at home. The wind was so bad there is no way it can be healthy to breathe a sky that looks like this.
Even so this happened:
And a quick word count for my CampNano memoir. 4,465. I still need another 800 before bed. So far, it’s fun. But the project and I are still young. LOL! And back to it!
We are still walking. It’s become a part of our daily story. Above is one of the scenes we see. We went this way today.
We went straight until we heard the prompt say it was a mile. Then turned around.
So coming around back towards our street a neighbor came out to talk to us. She was concerned about a dog in a house closer to us. It seemed tangle in chains. They had tried to give the dog water as the chain was keeping the dog standing and unable to reach food or water.
The dog owner had been suffering from a stroke so none of us knew where he was.
We reported it to the sheriff looking for a welfare-check for the dog’s owner. My brother and husband untangled the chain and brought the dog here to chain in our front yard.
Anyway, that walk was short for milage but long on story.
I’ve set up my yWriter7 for my memoirs. CampNano started today. I think my goal is a little too high, 50k. My imagination is good for that. But real life? I can already see it will be a bit of a psychological trip but to get to nuggets to share I need to walk in the mully grubs.
In other news…
Now back to the mully grubbing.
Here’s what made me happy.
Here’s the healthy.
Kali was cute. Last time I tried to take her for a walk she wouldn’t let me put her harness on. She had to stay home.
Today I was putting on my shoes. She let me know she didn’t want to be left behind. She laid still while I put on her harness.
Oh the walk she wanted to jog. So we did a few steps. Then I got winded. She pulled on me.
We went down a street we haven’t walked for a while. I nearly had to pull her. Once we got to our street, she knew where she was and wanted to run. I gave her a few more jogs then back to walking. She pulled me again.
Roping in my ADD thoughts has always been a problem. And my many hobbies are just the tangible ideas. There are not enough hours in a day to do all the things I want to do.
That is one of the reasons I blog. It is a place to remind myself of my passions and thoughts that might just escape to the ether never to be seen again.
Today I got to open my next diamond painting. It is from the set of four dragons. I pulled it out randomly.
Here’s the unboxing.
On another note. We walked 1.5 miles today which amounted to 49K steps. Wahoo us!
Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is โrope.โย Use it as a noun or a verb. Have fun!
I had so hoped to be finished with my dragon tonight. But I will be by the time I go to bed. Here is where the progress stands.
Just a quick side note. My husband and I walked a mile today. It was very nice. I prefer his company to Kali’s. She didn’t want to put on her harness. So she got left behind.
Back to the dragon…
Here’s the latest projects that have seen progress.
This wool doesn’t have enough strength to be socks so after trying and frogging twice, I decided to make a hat or two.
I did get a new scene going for editing book 2. Not as much as I want but, hey, it’s something. Progress.
We got a little rain and snow this morning, but I think we are into Spring again. The mesquite bushes are getting leaves. I do hope we get more spring showers. Our area is in exceptional level of draught. That is dryer than extreme.
Happy Spring, everyone!
This was fun today. When my glue dots quit working I used the QuickStik. It worked very well!
There isn’t much finished since yesterday, but the spa slipper is nearly to the heel stage.
When I post this, I plan to write a new scene for my book rewrite. This part of the writing process is harder than that first read/edit. I have to think more while trying to keep my creative brain open to new ideas. So there’s that. I’ll let you know if the scene works out.
How’s your Friday?
