We just finished Star Trek Discovery. You know you loved it when you’re crying and laughing at the end!
What doesn’t seem to have a finish is what I’m calling Sprinter.

My friend suggested Tirade Thursday, but it isn’t as alliterate as I would choose. And we didn’t spend the day complaining, just a bit of it! Her with too much snow, me with not enough. Both with too much wind to enjoy being outside on walks. For some reason, it is always too cold and windy here. The snow clouds surround our area but just spit in passing. We are still fighting the drought conditions. And complaining takes a lot of energy!
Oh, I still don’t have a working treadmill. The company has been notified. I miss it. I never got the runner/walker high, but I had developed a bit of a habit, and now I find that half hour a waste.
At least today, I got something done. My husband sat in his recliner writing. Okay, okay! So I pulled out my memoir and started the editing process. So, my cousins who have been waiting for this for over a year, there is a bit of a promise here. And as I edit, more story comes to mind that I forgot in the first writing. I added 123 words. That brings the total to 65,870. I’m so happy to be married to a writer!
I have finally caught up on The Walking Dead franchise: TWD, Fear of the Walking Dead, and TWD Beyond. Finished. Now I’m ready for the next shows to drop. I loved seeing how they intertwined in the end.
Does anyone else take the list of recorded shows as seriously as any other task list? I do. What I watch are stories written by others, with music I want to hear, with actors and directors doing their best to portray what the writer tried to convey. I like all those aspects. I actively watch or listen while knitting, drawing, writing, or reading. But because of the way I watch, I must often watch something many times to catch all the nuances. Yes, actively means I’m active doing stuff while watching.
We finished watching Eureka on Freevee.
We also watched Warehouse 13
And we just finished Scorpion
What have you been watching?
I’m really enjoying this.

Though I wanted to actually write something creative today, I found it rather tough after working on my other projects. Oh, and we are busy watching Moonfall and now Night Sky ( both quite interesting) I’m too tired and distracted.
Here are the experiment hats.
The needle-knitted hat turned out a little too big and the Flexee a little too small. The Flexee colors made it easy to do a two-by-two ribbing. In the needle-knitted hat, I found it easy to find where the purls were and where the knits were, so I did a one-by-one ribbing.
I loved Moonfall. (HBOMAX) My favorite kind of movie!
And I am quite into Night Sky on Amazon Prime.
This day has pretended to be anything but Thursday. Thank goodness my brother knew it was the trash is ready for tomorrow.
Meanwhile, I’ve been in password hell. My laptop went belly up. A new cell and Fire should help until we can get a new laptop. But every little thing needs a sign-in and new passwords. Maybe others do okay with all of that, but ADD/dyslexia of 2022 with all the two-step verification makes me wish for the simplicity of 1998.
I haven’t talked about the binges lately.
My friend and I between her two visits here and mine to her home, have enjoyed a couple shows. We really got sucked into The Umbrella Academy. I kind of hope there will be more, yet it doesn’t leave you on a cliff.
Stranger Things is on the edge of your seat exciting.
To calm down I’ve resorted to Bridgerton.
It’s kind of a nice change and you can’t take it seriously.
Ah, but as I’m busy with password hell or writing (I have gotten a little done but have no idea how much. I’m not working in yWriter so accurate word count, etc. can’t happen.) It’s back to old trusted noise of Outlander, Jurassic Park, The Walking Dead, etc. I figure I’ve shared them often enough. I can’t wait to get back to the history ofย Doctor Who on Amazon. By the way, the others are on Netflix.
I think I’ll get back to my writing and TWD. I’m two weeks behind! Yikes! I’m filling in with trip memories. I’ll put them in the right journal later. I just need to write.
I brought my little kit with me. My friend and I sat and DPed while watching The Umbrella Academy.
It’s been in the 100s so sitting around in the cool house made for quieter fun.
Here’s what I got done so far.
Back side finished today. I still have a couple more forms to work on. This kit is portable and easy to do in small bits.
I’ve got a pair of socks going, too.
We took a little trip to see our friend. It was good to see her healthy. We laughed and enjoyed each other’s company at a park. Starting the visit with a COVID test to make sure the exposure she had from a previous meeting was negative is a weird way to start a visit. But we are rather in that vulnerable population so we have to be careful. She was negative. So we celebrated life.
I’m having a blast this week. Friends and my adult children on long visits are building my memory banks with love.
Something else I’m working on. And it really is work! I’m going through all the Doctor Whos. I’ve managed to get to season three. Good thing I’m not watching. It’s mostly background while I write.
Okay, confession time. Since starting Camp NaNo, my memoirs/autobiography/my life, my background show has been Heartland. I figured I have horses to look at and it wouldn’t be distracting. I was scared it would be heavy western music. It has been tolerable. I always skip the intro song, but even it isn’t horrid. It is just boring and doesn’t seem to apply to the show.
Anyway, it worked quite well for the first four seasons. Great background. Then suddenly I found it distracting. I got invested in the characters and story. So I guess I should recommend it to others. I’ve made it to the 13th season! Only one more, then I’ll need another distracting background.
Busy, busy, busy! I’m having fun. For the most part, except for
Finally, we put the TARDIS on the wall.
My Beach Sunset is coming along. Here is how I protect between the sessions.
Here is the protection between work times and progress to date.
Nearly finished with right side of picture. This is the position for working.
For #Movie/Television Monday I just finished Sweet Magnolias. A great show for background.
I enjoyed Raising Dion.
A quick update of editing. I’ve added to my new project 4,748. I can’t remember if I shared that. This was my second NaNo written probably 2002. Yikes! 20 years ago! And it’s easy to see what a pantser I was way back then. Lots of rewrites ahead.
Okay. My Diamond Painting is shouting to me. See ya soon! What are you making/watching?
I was going to write a long stream but I’m caught up in this newest binge and I can’t let go.
Your prompt for #JusJoJan and Stream of Consciousness Saturday is: โlet go.โ Write about the first thing that comes to mind when you think โlet go.โ Enjoy!
