Beaver:

After a full week here, today I managed to glaze and load the kiln, now firing, as I meant to do last Saturday! Energy came in fits and starts and snuck up on me when not expecting it. Worked in the studio with changing to studio clothes - not two messy, used a damp clothe to clean off bits and put it in laundry.

Needed a meal of mainly veggies and the food stores were too busy so I went to M&M and bought a chicken stir fry kit. Too much meat and not enough veggies; I ate all the veggies and saved much of the chicken for tomorrow. Maybe I will try a grocery later this eve. In the meantime, I had the meal I needed. - at a price! But I really needed it.

I find the Canadian use of "Black Friday" contemptible. It has nothing to do with us - just another marketing ploy - and people fall for it.

Charmion: Rest and relax and new activities will come to you!

I am off to the Thrift Warehouse tomorrow to get another light for the studio here. The lack of adequate lighting stymied me when I thought I might go do something in the eve - or maybe just an excuse. Maybe just a clip on; something I can do alone. I have done quite a bit in the LR but felt a bit of throwing energy a couple evenings. I seem to be needing more light these days. My eyes are OK...

The death affected me far more than I expected; it is complicated - the web of people affected/involved. Unique; I doubt I shall have this sort again. HOPE!

I will go back to Dupont on Sunday - a non-snow day! None of our favs at the Bakery so no need to plan to get there on Sat. Will take new pots to the shop tomorrow and load the car. And a bag to Thrift shop!
