[Current Mood | cranky ]

[Listening To | Claudio and birds. so many birds. ]

Good morning, y’all. It’s still early, and the birds are in full numbers in the front yard. The cats are moving between the front window and the back door, watching birds and TinyTown‘s happenings.

My Monday shift sucked, but Monday streams seem to always suck for me. I have no idea why. I seemed to have some steady traffic– not as much as Sunday afternoon, but better than it has been. I’m still trying to find a good line between keeping the room engaged and giving away too much for free.

I stuck it out for almost 3 hours, giving up when my anxiety spiked. Shawshank‘s mom was going out to kill time during a house showing, and Podrick was knocking things about, and I was panicking at the prospect of being interrupted by either of them. I fed us all, then played some “Civ” until Shawshank came home.

We watched wrestling and ate junk food. I finished my latest project, washed the template’s ink out in the sink, and hung it up to dry. It turned out nice. The kit was missing the lavender thread it was supposed to come with, so I replaced it with dark pink instead. It probably looks better now.

We’re going to spend some of the morning puttering. Shawshank‘s going over to Shady Acres to fix something and borrow their vacuum, and then declutter and tidy up a bit. We’re having his mom over to have dinner with us tonight.
