What are you doing?

Sorry to resurrect this thread just to brag, but:

I actually did it. I won.
I am now on a leaderboard with a grand total of 32 other people.
There are 33 of us. In the entire world.
(Although i'm in 25th place )

That's really cool, congratulations!

Listening to music and getting painting stuff set up.

Whatcha listening to and what kind of painting will you be doing?

Classical baroque music playlist this morning, for now anyhow, and I'm going to work on hopefully not ruining a large watercolour.

I am trying to stay focused on Susan Garret's Nuanced Dog Training series that she is offering f free over the next few days. She's an amazing trainer from Canada and so wish could transport our 6 mo corgi to her. If anyone has a dog would recommend checking her out. It is just so hard to do but know it's critical too as worry if I don't we will have a badly mannered dog which wont be good for her or us... and yet all I want ot do is crawl under the covers with a good book and do nothing or go to exercise classes or yes anything outside of this house. Know this will change in about 6 months ... but will we survive?

@Kiwi2016 I hope it's a case of the darkest hour is just before dawn.

@Kiwi2016 This might be totally not your cup of tea, but thought I'd mention it anyway. There are a set of I think 3 cozy mysteries - very light fiction of course - which in the audio version are great due to a wonderful narrator. They feature a corgi, who is quite noble, a bit incorrigible, and who can ...
first of the books:

Thanks so much @seabird....will check it out

Thanks...would never have thought it could be so overwhelming will admit....especially as we can't just let her run loose in the yard due to its a garden not lawn, in a residential 55+ with people who talk, slam car doors and car alarms, and workmen and and and...yes live their lives as they should...sorry to rant...woke up at 4 with knot in stomach...only good thing did an 1 1/2 hr walk so that should wear her out at least for a bit (here's hoping...all digits crossed)....

Eating bread

I've been going through an evil streak. Just today I went through the "10 items of less" line with 11 items. MWA HA HA HA HA

Watching TV in the den.

A few exercises, noodling around on sf, and waiting for dinner to cook.

I'm browsing and posting on the forum while listening to music 😉

Staring into the ceiling, browsing this forum off-and-on and generally just being all-'round miserable.

Watching a movie that was made when I was 15 years old; and picturing what I was like then. And what the world was like. I still had dreams then and a good future ahead of me. I am old now and my time is very short and the world is very different.

That is so bizarre, as I was just now watching Glastonbury and Robert Smith did a guest slot with Olivia Rodrigo - happened to play the 2 Cure songs that got me through my finals at uni in 1992... And I was thinking exactly the same things about being 21. If you'd told me then I'd still be alive now I wouldn't have believed you.... funny to think some of the paths I took....

Finding a thread to post in.

Turning the kettle on, putting peanuts out for the raven while the tea brews.

Putting hugs here, if anyone wants
