I found a 4 pager that is fun to pianoize. I know I could play it easily when I was a young teen. See the star stickers? Yeah, I thought I was too old for cutesy stickers. Yet, my prof in college often gave us adult students stickers or happy faces. Oh, the old, boring age of adolescents! I should probably do a vlog ‘concert’ to see if I’ve improved since my last ‘warts and all’ vlog
This piece of fun for my recorder, uke, and violin. The challenge for my piano is to teach myself to improvise more. And the vocal range is easy.

I’m enjoying my music.

And there are times I feel my inner child do this:

So close to being done. Hopefully in time…
Almost to the heel. Hopefully, these will be way too big for me and fit one of the males in my life.
This shows the freezing fog of the past week is cleared. See that beautiful blue sky. It’s not gotten too much above 32 this week. Pretty. But the weather changing is still causing arthritic pains for we old folks.

Sadly, my NaNoWriMo stalled. Holding the laptop hurts, my eyes couldn’t focus, yeah, the changing barometric pressure affects a lot for me. So I changed goals from 50k, to 25k, and finally to 10k. Today I have 9,642, so I think I’ll meet that goal tomorrow.

Shadow Foxing is the title. Not about the furry animals, by the way. Character types.

So nothing is near finished–except the dragon. But happy progress is happening.

Back to work.

How I Feel


Did you enjoy the Mary Poppins specials last night and tonight? It makes me happy.

One-Liner Wednesday


A part of Linda’s One-Liner Wednesday

I have a lap cat!

Look


At what we woke to this morning

Good things my daughter gave me her new Wisconsin fleece-lined hat!

Isn’t it pretty?
So soft and warm!

Monday, Monday


Yeah. I’m grabbing a cup.

Sugar free.

Sunday Funny


Well, deep, sweet, and cute.

I got to see some of my adult kids and had a dog for a bit. Weather made it end too soon. But we had fun. And everyone is warm and safe again.

Someone is happy things are undogged. We keep telling him we hope to have a dog someday. And it’ll be okay.

Stream of Consciousness Saturday, Just


Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is “use ‘just’ in your first sentence.” Use the word “just” any way you’d like in your first sentence, then just write to your heart’s content. Enjoy!

Just sit right down and… Name that tune! 😁

My stream didn’t start there. Earlier I thought of just how often Grammarly and the autocorrect monsters point out my constant use of this word.

I just don’t understand why. Take the above sentence without that word. I don’t understand why. It somehow it loses oomph. It sounds bland.

Is it just me?

I think it is an unjustified word flag by grammar police. It’s just unfair!

Just who’s with me?

Nothing is finished. The weather has made my favorite things uncomfortable if not downright pain. But progress goes slow. One second spent on projects you feel passionate about is still progress! So here are some things still moving forward.

So little left to do.
Another pair of slippers on the comfy arch.
Trying to make stress balls. But I think I need to frog and start over.
A uke Kindle book I’m playing with.
My family thinks I’m overdoing it. I need a place to put the taped together pieces. Maybe a scroll library? I don’t want to fold or roll these as they become even more cumbersome. Ideas?
Recorder fun
More Christmas fun for the recorders.
Christmas for the violin. Bow tightening and rosin amounts still in flux.

And prayers for the safety of my adult kids driving over the river and through the woods, or some such. Weather will be rain/snow, etc. I’m worried but can’t wait to see everyone!

Thus Thursday


I have no idea what to write about and really I’d prefer playing around with uke, vi, and toot. I’ve discovered Christmas carols for all my instruments. Piano is the most fun right now. But the others are fun and challenging. I try to keep them all fun so I don’t give up.

Poor, Sammie. His favorite spider toy got stepped on and broke. Funkle Chris has already ordered a replacement. Random Sammie pics:

He helps even a struggling writer feel better.
He still loves his tree though he’s almost too big for the boxes.

That’s the toy that broke.😥

Okay, time for strings and toots!
