This and That . . .
So I gave up Facebook for Lent.
You cannot imagine how much more time I have in just six days. I guess I didn't realize what a time suck it truly is.
I gave up my personal Facebook - I still post for All About African Violets on Sundays, and it was very hard to go on yesterday and not look at the wall :-D But I did it - went right to the podcast page and posted what I needed to there, and then to my personal page - bypassing the wall completely - to post the link there, and then out! Yay Me!
And did you watch Downton Abbey last night? I already knew what was going to happen (because I couldn't stand the wait any longer and went out online to a British site and read all the episode recaps in January :-D I don't really mind being spoiled, I guess) and still . . . And now we have to wait a YEAR for the next season. Dammit.
I took a tumble on the ice last Monday. Black ice - right in front of the house. If anyone was watching, I'm sure I looked like a cartoon character trying to keep my balance. But down I went. Thankfully - because I am so lucky :-) - I landed on all fours, effectively spreading the impact throughout my body. The doc told me that had I landed fully on one hand that I sure would have broken or fractured it. As it was, I was in a brace and a sling (for walking around) for five days. That was enough. Hand still a bit sore, and I can see the deep bruise in it, but it's well on its way :-) Learned again that physical pain is a food trigger . . . Dammit.
I have too many African violets . . . :-D
As you probably saw yesterday, another loom is here in my house. I had better pay really good attention at class in a few weeks :-D This one needs a lot of cleanup - way more than the other two did, and because it's at least 50 years old, it's going to be a lot more challenging than either of the other two. Should be an interesting experiment.
Here comes the sun - time to get cracking!

p.s. I wrote this this morning at 7 a.m. - guess I clicked "save" instead of "publish." :-D
