  1. Thursday AM and
    1) short text chat with old friend.
    2) This new coffee cup from my step- mother; She may be starting to “get” me.
    3) My untenable rage at a work issue this morning, dissolved in resolution. Let’s hope we can get the next mountain crossed.

    miniature fridge vases that fit tiny blooms

    getting caught doing a random act of kindness, and unintentionally inspiring a stranger to jump in and do one too

    a productive day on the current task of the moment (despite fooling around with my new mini vases, lol)

    🐇 The wild bunnies love my backyard, especially after a good rain, because the grass grows tall overnight, and there's so much to eat. It must be very tasty as they seem to prefer my grass to that of my neighbors' yards.

    🐇 The wild bunnies just hang out now, in my backyard, around the clock, every day. They will keep a safe distance from me if I take the dog out to potty, but otherwise they couldn't care less. They even bring their young.

    🐇 The wild bunnies are so unafraid of me that they will sit at the end of my gravel driveway and ... refuse to move. So I just sit there, in my car, with the engine running, waiting patiently. Then it becomes a stare-off, and the first to blink has to give in. And yes, sometimes they win, and I just have to park my car in the driveway, and walk to the house, dragging my reusable shopping bags behind me. I'm pretty sure someday science will prove that these particular wild bunnies descended from a long and noble bloodline of jabberwockies.

  4. 1. No tear of the retina was found today (detachment of the vitreous is what's causing the floaters and flashing lights).

    2. Trip to Michigan delayed for a month until I'm rechecked, but that just gives me more time to settle things here at home first (and to plan my route to and from Michigan).

    3. Got the new lens for my new full-frame camera, and wow, what a difference it makes for my photographs!

    My wonderful son called first thing this morning to ask me if I liked my Mother's Day card ... that his wife reminded him to get, which he did and it is now sitting on his desk, ready to be mailed. 🤣 He really does try 🥰

    My niece and nephew came by to surprise me for Mother's Day. 🎉 I haven't seen my nephew since December and my niece since November so it was most definitely a great surprise! 😃

    My first day on beige.party has been wonderful! Everyone has been super kind, funny and welcoming! I hope y'all know how much it is appreciated 💜 💜 💜

    (I'll be over there in the corner sniveling like a big old baby)

    🧵 1/4

    1. @StevenKennard finished the stereo cabinet he's been working on for us, and brought it into the house. It's made in solid maple, with the side slats in birdseye (érable piqué) and the rest of the frame, shelves and top in curly (quilted or tiger) maple. It's not easy to show it in photographs, but the figuring is really gorgeous and looks different depending on the light and the viewing angle. He has spent so many years making beautiful furniture for other people, it's a real joy to have this piece for our home. (It's not the first piece he's made for us, just the first in a long while.)

    2. We enjoyed a delicious Mexican fair trade 'green' (organic practices) oat milk cappuccino with a 'superfood bite' that hit the spot! I adapted the usual recipe to include unsweetened chocolate chips and that really paired it perfectly with the coffee. The local shortage of 85% chocolate has left a hole in our morning coffee ritual and this has now filled it!

    3. I ran (and jumped) for over 10 minutes as part of my morning workout today. For the first 250 steps (running after the workout) I wonder how I'd be able to go on, but after that, I felt I could almost run forever. Almost.

    Have a lovely Sunday, everyone!

    I GOT THE EMAIL OF ACCEPTANCE TO JOIN BEIGE.PARTY!!! I am beside myself with giddiness! 😁

    My dear friend, Mr. Johnson, turned 96 yesterday. We met at physical therapy and bonded over competing with each other's time on the machines. The first time I hit 60 min. he was right behind me! 🎂 🥰

    My hands are maintaining a tolerable amount of pain since, ya know, I didn't get my freakin steroid shots. 🙄

    Happy early Mother's Day! 💐 💜 🤗

  12. Wait for me!

    #ThreeGoodThings

    1. Today was a day I went for a joyride (bike ride that brought me joy), but all on my own. I had Tony with me (more on Tony another time, he's my mascot), but Steven was busy finishing our stereo unit (wait for that one!) and I went to get the mail (1km away) in a roundabout trip of 10km. I had to go slowly through the puddles in the woods as we had had some quite heavy rain, but otherwise it was a quick ride around the block. I gambled and took a road that we usually try and avoid due to the usual traffic. In all the distance I only met one vehicle coming towards me and one behind me, both at the same time and the one behind me decided to overtake below the brow of the hill. The good thing is that there was no collision! The driver of the car coming towards me might never recover his nerves, but mine (and Tony's) stayed steady.

    2. I managed to arrange my father-in-law's usual grocery delivery (he's in the UK, I'm in Canada) with minimum stress, despite the fact that Tesco's online ordering calender is one day out of true (book your delivery for Saturday the 9th for actual delivery Sunday the 10th) and everything went smoothly.

    3. There were 2 more deer on the #trailcam so here they are for you.

  13. Happy Wednesday I hope you are all well and the weather is being kind to you

    1. Got up early and went for a walk this morning and to mitigate the single digit temps (6°C) I wore fingerless gloves before the sun warmed me up

    2. Did a nice variety of quizzing before breakfast (Sporcle, Redactle and Geoguesser)

    3. Enjoying the sun warming our living room while reading and listening to 80s tunes (reading Ancestors by Prof Alice Roberts)

    GUESS WHAT?! (see picture) 🦜 🪺 💜 Sherbert is exhausted again, poor thing! Aaaand, she has another one almost ready to make an appearance!

    Dr's office never called 😡 But, my right hand started feeling a bit better this afternoon. Still using my left hand, but I'll take the relief! I'll be at the Dr's office at 9 am sharp. 😒

    My IRL bestie's birthday is tomorrow and I can't wait to give her her gifts! Got everything she asked for! 😃 🥰 🎂

  22. #3GoodThings (Teaching #Beloved)

    1. Student read Baby Suggs's magnificent sermon in the Clearing so beautifully that the class just sat in wonder.

    2. We discussed fluids (& fluidity) in the text: water, blood, milk, sweat, pus, mud, semen.

    3. The class focused on Morrison's depiction of slavery's effects on Black women, especially their bodies and babies. "The child shall follow the condition of the mother" was the legal framework of #slavery that incentivized & monetized rape.
