The dragon is coming along.
The newest development here: Sammie and Milo on my chair together, like they were last night in my bed.
Sammie and Milo sleep together.

The knitting doesn’t have much progress to show.

Linus and Lucy, page one is improving. It looks so easy! Not if you have no rhythm.🥴

Oh Holy Night is coming along, as is When Christmas Comes to Town. I’m enjoying sight reading all my Christmas songs.

I’m a little concerned as my husband just tested positive for COVID two days ago. He wasn’t doing too badly until this evening. Now there’s a bit of a cough and he’s tired. This means the rest of us are taking precautions.

We finished all of Orphan Black and the sequel. It was fun. Now we are deeply into Stranger Things.

It’s been raining, now it’s so cold! But still no snow. We may still have a white Christmas.

What it’s like to live with me:

I could use the ear coverage.

My bit for Linda’s One-Liner Wednesday.

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.

Loose Ends

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?

Only three more days of NaNo. I need 1,200 words tonight to be on track. It has been such an ordeal this time. It has been a rollercoaster of emotions. I’ll be glad to see December!

Managing to keep on track–i hope.

I’m trying to learn a couple Christmas songs. I’ve always wanted to play Lucy and Linus and now I’m also challenged by the song in Polar Express

I pulled out all the Christmas songs to play with.

Nearly finished with the Balloon diamond painting.
Duolingo is still fun for me.

The only knitting making progress are my experimental slipper socks.

No finishing here. Just cuties.

Milo keeps watch inside and out.
Shiloh is always nearby.

Well, back to work. Words to go before I sleep…

By next week this balloon will be finished. I think I’m tired of balloons.
Yay!
Sondheim is rolling around in his grave as I work on this and quite a few other of his songs. (That intro kills my eyes and hands!) By the way, I finally got brave enough to get back into Phantom songs. That has inspired much longer playing sessions. I started out last October 1, 2024 doing minutes or just an easy tune. This week I managed two sessions of over an hour each. And I was excited by how much fun I had!
On the other hand, I’m maybe 2k behind. At least TrackBear helps me adjust my daily goal making the 50k within reach — I hope.
No, my machines are not so fancy-dancy. Still, my time on both the stationary bike and treadmill increases. I hope it increases.

For the knitting, I’ll just use last week’s pic as I’ve done very little knitting.

Stream of Consciousness Saturday, Enjoy

Filed under: Animals, Art, Blogging, Creativity, Knitting, Music, NaNoWriMo, Reading — 2 Comments
November 8, 2025

Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is “something you enjoyed.” Write about something you thoroughly enjoyed. Use it any way you’d like. Have fun!

I know my life might seem boring to others, but this blog is the place where I talk about the things I enjoy.

Would I love to travel or go to amusement parks? You bet. But my life seems to be on a different path. I find my joy where I live.

Learning something new gives me joy. Bring creative expresses my joy. And also do arts like drawing and diamond painting, music, like piano and my other recent pursuits, writing the story popping up in my head brings me joy. Yarning is delightful.

My favorite is visiting with family and friends. But that doesn’t happen as often as I’d like still it’s the icing on the enjoyment cake.

Finally working on the top ( which means I work upside down so I can reach that part.)
The Inktober prompts I’m using today: artic and rival. These are the only thing I could sketch to represent. The story perceived them differently.
Two faces facing off.
So far I have 8,951 words. I have more to write tonight. Yeah, I’m behind now. But I am having fun with my imaginary friends. NaNoWriMo 2025. By the way, that site is TrackBear. A way to keep track of wordage.
Some of the songs I’m playing with now.
All the socks in progress now.

It’s been a tough week energy wise.

Rainy Days and Mondays…

Filed under: Blogging, Happiness, Music — 4 Comments
October 13, 2025

I was talking to myself and feeling down… Here Rainy Day and Monday hit at the same time

When I was in my early twenties my groom and I lived a year in a tiny town with no radio worth listening to and only three UHF stations to watch.

I lived on John Denver, 2001 Space Odyssey, and the Carpenters back then.

This morning feeling more of the song than ever before even with the best husband (not the same one). I was humming the song as I headed to play piano.

Suddenly I looked outside to see:

We could see both ends of the rainbow. Who knew Christmas Valley had two pots of gold?
