Today's wishlist of extravagant but moderately world-saving things includes one of these, which is actually a bit cheaper than the best prices we know how to find for Amish quilts. Perhaps I'll pitch it to grauwulf for a potential holiday present.

There was no possible outcome for these elections that didn't involve more work ahead, and we're a little ways ahead of where we were, with strong foundations built & a couple strikes at the sucking chest wound to Democracy. Maybe even just the good side of possibly getting out of this crap without all-hands-on-deck war. At any rate, the weather is lovely today, and I am not speculating how much closer we might have gotten to replacing our creep of a governor if it had been like this yesterday rather than pouring rain. He is still outnumbered by state legislature, and has developed the brains to work with that, so better than some.

My to-do list for the day involves long-ignored household tasks (rounding up the last of my child's effluvia from under the coffee table so that I can actually vacuum the living room rug!!) and laundry. (Empires may rise and fall, but laundry is eternal.) I have a bunch of yard tasks to deal with, and it's a good day to do some of that. Tomorrow we finally get my child to the dentist for an actual check-up. Little things.

I want to blog again, by way of easing back into writing things. Let's shoot for a modest twice a week. (I suddenly have at least three fiction projects I know someone or other actually wants to see!) It's very last-decade of me, but I miss the blogosphere, and while I can't do anything about anyone else, I seem to be back where I can actually post things myself. So here we are. If it goes well, perhaps I'll even pick up enough css to attend to my limping website and add the suburban naturalist blog I keep vaguely daydreaming about.

I am strongly in favor of that.

I agree with you on incremental improvements after the elections. Shoulder to the wheel; I will keep pushing too. Hope you enjoy the beautiful weather!

I would love to see snippets (or more) of this here on DW!

[thanate]

I will likely cross-post if I get so far. Confirmation of potential audience is helpful-- thanks. :)

(also, have we met?)

Yay!

>> (also, have we met?)

I do not think so? We may have some real-life or DW friends in common, perhaps? I'm pretty sure I follow your journal because someone I know on DW does too? :)

[thanate]

N/p; I just met a bunch of people at WFC and our mutual DW people are from that circle of my acquaintance, so I though I'd check.

[thanate]

Indeed.

Thank you; I cleverly managed to put both sets of my garden gloves in the wash before going out to pull more porcelainberry, but it was quite pleasant out despite catching my fingers on the greenbriar a couple more times than preferable.

Hello! I think I was sitting near you at several WFC panels, admiring your embroidery; would you mind if I friended you?

[thanate]

Not at all. Please come say hi the next time we're in adjacent realspace. :)
