  • Thank you, @MadamMeow! Nobu has joined me several times!
  • Basics
  • Workout: stiff neck, sore neck, Rotator Cuff, neck & shoulders
  • Nobu cuddled with me last night and today!
  • It wasn't helpful at all today (he stole my hand, grabbed it when I pulled away, and tried to keep my arm in place with his teeth. Kitten did not want me to do anything!) but I will never turn down cuddles!

  • That's the face of an unapologetic attention hog
  • If it doesn't rain tomorrow, I should be able to fit in a bike ride!
  • We're gathering everything for our first festival on Saturday, which may take longer than anticipated
  • Fingers crossed!
  • Double fingers crossed that it doesn't storm on Saturday!
  • Good: completed 4 designs
  • Happy: Casper brushed against my arm and burst my blister!

  • Basics
  • Workout: hand tendons, hand mobility, eye rest
  • No bike ride
  • But! The car is tetris-ed to the gills!
  • I will be sitting with crossed legs on top of the cooler again, but last year was fine, so I'm not worried
  • It's so much easier when I don't join them at the festivals 😅
  • The weather has shifted, happily
  • Hot, probably humid, but no rain!
  • Much like today, really
  • Nobu joined me on the couch and helped me fall asleep there
  • Casper woke me with his caterwauling
  • It was an interesting morning 😂
  • I removed my blister, mostly by accident
  • Remember to keep blisters covered, Bees!
  • The skin underneath looks great, at least
  • Good: packed the car
  • Happy: tomorrow is the start of a short vacation and it will be so quiet!

  • Daily Exercise w EC
  • The museum was delightful!
  • The employees are always so kind and eager to share their knowledge
  • I also saw a cow
1000004550.jpg
  • He (?) was not impressed 😂
  • I took 3 pictures. All were cows. My priorities 😅
  • Realized about ten minutes before arriving that I forgot my hat 🤦‍♀️
  • Sunscreen was applied every 2 hours exactly
  • No burning and my nose is only a little pink
  • (The heat exhaustion at the end wasn't fun, but I'm all better now!)
  • I walked 15,978 steps and if my feet and legs wanted to move at all, I'd try to make than an even 16,000
  • I planned on catching up tomorrow on today's schedule, but they both may be pushed to Monday
  • In closing:
1000004551.jpg

  • Caught up with yesterday, but skipped any workouts
  • I thought I'd be much more tired and am very happy I'm not!
  • Today is the start of my vacation, which means the house is mine and everything is quiet
  • (Mom and Dad are in Canada celebrating their 30th wedding anniversary until Thursday)
  • I get 3 full days of glorious silence, cooking only what I want, and all the feline attention!
  • Truly, the best sort of vacation!
  • Nobu cuddled with me earlier and we had an excellent sprawl
1000004563.jpg
  • If not tonight, I should have at least one companion as I sleep in the coming days!
  • If the weather clears up (heavy wind and threat of hail if it rains), I'll try to ride tomorrow
  • Good: supper was quick, easy, and delicious!
  • Happy: it's so quiet 😁

  • Workout: upperbody press, eye workout
  • It cleared up so well there was a sun advisory!
  • I don't need heat exhaustion again, so I stayed in
  • I'm hoping for a less clear day so I can weed tomorrow
  • My peppers are getting some very tall neighbors 👀
  • The cats have been good
  • Nobu cuddled last night and I woke a bit diagonal
1000004593.jpg
  • I refuse to complain when I woke to these 2 🥰
  • I knew I wanted to get more shades of beads, but I'm understanding today that I need more shades
  • Instead of trying to make things fit exactly, I think I'm going to go absurd
  • Think neon colors
  • Ladybugs can be bright pink! 😂
  • Mom and Dad are having fun, which is all I can ask for
  • Good: silence
  • Happy: I'm growing calmer by the hour with how quiet it is

  • Thank you, @MadamMeow!
  • Basics
  • Decided on a lazy day and skipped any workouts
  • The weather cooperated and I was able to weed
  • That was more than enough time in the sun, so I also skipped a bike ride
  • Nobu cuddled last night, which meant I fell asleep on the couch
  • He also insisted on attention when I was trying to draw
1000004628.jpg
  • That's a face that shows disinterest and contempt 😂
  • Casper and Nox joined me when I got upstairs, but weren't there when I woke up 🤷‍♀️
  • I'm apparently not the only one who thinks my neighbor has a great yard
1000004627.jpg
  • They were a sight to see this morning! And afternoon! And while weeding! And making supper!
  • They've been here all day 😂
  • Being alone means I get to play with recipes I don't think at least one person will like
  • Lunch and supper have been excellent today!
  • Good: weeded
  • Happy: yet more exceptional recipes from Eleanor!

  • ❤️ @NancyTree
  • Basics
  • Been tired all day
  • Since it's laundry day, I didn't feel too bad about skipping workouts
  • I'm low enough on thread that an unworkable design was cut off the loom to save the loom thread
  • But I managed a new design that I can make tomorrow, so that's good!
  • And I think I can salvage the first design with some different colored beads
  • Tomorrow, hopefully!
  • It rained most of the day, but I got some thunder as well, so no complaints!
  • (And the plants needed the water)
  • If the weather holds, we should be going to Shakespeare in the Park tomorrow!
  • Mom and Dad are home in the morning
  • Goodbye, sweet silence 😭
  • Cats have been catting
1000004650.jpg
  • Surprise Casper cuddle!
  • (I was covered in fur after)
1000004644.jpg
  • My baby stayed through my shower in there 🥹
  • Good: saved the loom thread
  • Happy: Tyler tomorrow!

  • Well, they're back
  • My silence has been broken, but it is good to see them
  • No Shakespeare in the Park today because the weather is looking great for tomorrow
  • Instead we went to Old Fort Niagara so Mom could get a photo from New York that's opposite the one she got from Canada
  • I'll see if she can send me those
  • It was clear enough I could get a picture of Toronto, which is rare!
1000004685.jpg
  • I'll get to the store in the next few days for more supplies
  • I'm trying to figure out new designs and they're certainly being difficult
  • I'll get there eventually!
  • Good: Mom and Dad are home safe and had a great time
  • Happy: Theo was in and gave me all the kisses!!

  • Neither Mom nor I are feeling great today
  • Hopefully it's just a small stomach bug
  • We did get out to a few craft stores
  • Still need the bead store further away for certain colors
  • Some of the new designs have come along; others most certainly have not
  • I think I need more experience
  • No Shakespeare in the Park

  • Basics (caught up)
  • Didn't exercise yesterday beyond the daily exercise
  • Got much too caught up in things!
  • Epic Legs Challenge

:completed:
  • Epic Legs was nice and easy, but I'm glad it's done
  • I like how Total Body is structured; the cardio days pushed me and the yoga was a wonderful counterbalance
  • I quite like the various workouts I completed, too!
  • A good month overall!
  • Got all the colors I need for various designs
  • So, of course, I created my most audacious design yet and need one more color 🤦‍♀️

  • Had a great stretch with Nobu last night
1000004744.jpg

  • He fully said I was not using that hand for anything but him! 😂
  • I fixed a design, but haven't worked out the bugs in another
  • The truly vexing part?
  • Nymo thread is the worst
  • I had some strong words earlier
  • I'm just thankful the design didn't work out the way I hoped, because if I lost the finished product at the end? 😬
  • Here's to hoping my new loom works at least decently
  • I can adjust if necessary!
  • Good: tried the new design
  • Happy: Nobu cuddles!

  • Daily Exercise w EC
  • Family day got away from me a bit!
  • We all slept in and had a great brunch, and then we chatted and watched movies
  • There's a parade for the 4th and the church gives away hot dogs along the route
  • I'm hiding inside with the air conditioning, thank you very much!
  • Pretty sure I've figured out the design that's been eluding me
  • And my new loom works well!
  • It's a little tricky getting the tension right, but I have ideas
  • Since I'm not going to be working after seeing Bee, I think I'm going to really knuckle down and figure out some new designs
  • Fingers crossed!
  • I had Nobu cuddles last night. After I fell asleep on the couch. It kept me there until 6. In the morning.
  • Why won't he join me in bed?? 😭 😭
  • Good: family day
  • Happy: it's been a calm, happy day

  • I was consoled with pizza for supper
  • Managed to not take a nap, but it's been a tired day

  • Then Dad let us know the tortoise wasn't put outside and upset about that
  • He made a way outside and ALL THREE CATS FOLLOWED
  • My heart was saved by the twins immediately coming in
  • Casper took a few hours, but he's safe now, too

  • I may have a cold
  • Sincerely hope not, but time will tell
  • Also did some thinking and realized my lack of desire to do any more exercising is one of my slumps
  • No more feeling guilty!
  • I will keep the month as simple as it is and focus on mental health
  • It's great progress that I can look and see these things instead of wallowing!
  • Now if my Nobu could cuddle more, that'd be perfect

  • Basics
  • Thankfully, insomnia happens rarely
  • Got to bed at a much more reasonable time!
  • Had Nobu briefly, too
  • Found the color I've been looking for!
  • Started the design, realized I switched two colors (🤦‍♀️), decided to leave it, and ended up stopping halfway through
  • Second attempt tomorrow!
  • Also have everything for my sister, so that'll happen tomorrow before anything else
  • Watched: Scream 2, Scream 3-1/2
  • Liked the second enough to watch the third
  • I definitely talked to the screen more than once 😂
  • I may just finish this series!
  • Already looking at the next series; Friday the 13th or Nightmare on Elm Street are standing out
1000004998.jpg
  • Dessert!
  • Need to buy a smaller cast iron skillet; mine is too big for this and that dish was too small for this application
  • Still great! Just took a lot longer and the center is soft

  • Good: a second cat has been my sister's hope for a while
  • Happy: project completed! Bean! Supper!
**Let me know if you want the recipe. Since the base is ricotta, I could see using a soft tofu in its place; otherwise, this dish is vegan!

  • Basics
  • Project ✅
  • This one came out very well!
  • Need to make a few tweaks, but Mom thinks other colors would look good, so that's a future project
  • Watched: Scream (2022)
  • I thought this one was a great finale for the original series
  • To that end, I'm not going to watch any more
  • I will most probably rewatch these, though!
  • Friday the 13th is next!
  • Nobu was very upset I got up to make lunch

  • So was I 😭
  • Pizza for supper!

  • I still have great trouble moving the dough from the counter to the pan (cooked in cast iron)
  • Other than being too thick, it was lovely!
  • I'll be making her focaccia in the next bit!
  • Good: finished project
  • Happy: pizza was very yummy! And my sister is ecstatic with her new cuddle bean!

  • Basics Yesterday and Today
  • Yesterday was good!
  • It was the local Taste of and that's always fun
  • Today was better
  • Theo was in and gave me all the love
  • We tried a new restaurant that was quite good!
  • Finally got to the coffee shop!
  • SO glad we did!
  • Excellent coffee, and even better customer service!
  • We will definitely be returning
  • Made a third attempt at my biggest design
  • I'm getting faster at the large size!
  • Made a mistake that I only noticed in the picture I sent my sister 😭
  • Watched: Friday the 13th 1&2
  • They were... underwhelming
  • There was only one character, of both movies, that I wanted to survive
  • (Muffin; thank you, Jason!)
  • I'll give the next a go, just to see the progression of Jason
  • I want to see Freddy vs Jason, so I'll watch both to get there
  • Minimal Nobu cuddles, but I was blessed this morning

  • I GOT TO TOUCH HIM!! HE PURRED!!! HE MET MY EYES!!!
  • Ahem
  • I wish I knew what I did, who I honored, what offering I made, to get NOX
  • Good: a very good day
  • Happy: this coffee really is exceptional

  • My skill has definitely grown
  • Watched: 13th 3-5
  • I'm just rooting for Jason at this point
  • I thought he got his just desserts in 4, though
  • You never go after the animals! 😤
  • Nobu cuddles last night!

  • Productive day!
  • Finished Mom's necklace and it's so much more the original design I wanted it!
  • Only worked on one other design
  • Lunch and dessert were new recipes from Eleanor
  • Neither were particularly pretty, but both very tasty!
  • Also went grocery shopping, which went very quickly this time!
  • No cuddles last night 😭
  • Watched: 13: 6-8
  • Reading the summaries of 9 & 10, I'm happy to skip them
  • I thought they gave Jason a fitting send off
  • (And Toby survived!)
  • 8 made me laugh the most, which was fun
  • Onto Nightmare on Elm St!
  • Good: new massage therapist found
  • Happy: though it felt like they were really searching for story lines the further into the series they went, I did enjoy the movies enough to continue

  • Basics
  • It's been a quiet, lazy day
  • Went to a new restaurant (for me)
  • It's an incredibly limited menu and I will not be returning
  • Good food, just not much for me
  • No crafting today
  • Just started Nightmare on Elm Street, despite that
  • I'm already liking it more than Friday the 13th
  • (Not to say I'll like Freddy more, that's TBD)
  • I need to finish this before I give a running commentary 😅
  • No cuddles last night 😭
  • Good: finalizing plan for Mom's birthday
  • Happy: it's been a good day!
