2) Got to be there for a friend who is having a rough time.
3) I recently learned why I was doing with badly with seeds and I have lettuce coming up.

1) Remembered that I wanted to reach out to my sister more and we had a great phone call.
2) She had a good idea for my office windows. (I've been having trouble getting natural light without eyestrain.)
3) I realized that I may be experiencing autistic burnout. Which of course is not a good thing, but now I have a sense of how I can help myself. I asked for some alone time today and that helped a lot.
After several years of failure and feeling a lot like the lord from "Monty Python and the Holy Grail" whose castles always fell into the swamp, I finally once again have more artichokes than I can possibly eat!
1) Spoke with contractor and was reassured on several points.
2) Felt relaxed enough to make weekend plans with friends.
3) Remembered an old dream and think I can implement it.

A powerful graphic novel. I was particularly struck by the connection raised between the disappearing of books and the disappearing of people.

#AmReading, still, The Book Witch and interested in where the plot is going. Also, the "fictional" Duke is decidedly charming.
But it's driving me up the wall that a book so obviously designed to appeal to book lovers (both the story and the physical object) has editing/proofreading mistakes! I bet it drives the author up the wall too. The Book Witch herself must be dying of embarrassment.

What the hell is up with theater trailers? Went to see Project Hail Mary today and they were so loud, it was even too much for my hard-of-hearing husband. Also lots of flashing lights; I literally had to close my eyes and plug my ears, not to mention take a migraine pill. Luckily the sound for the movie itself was fine.
We both enjoyed the movie and both agreed the book was better.
Oh dear. A website with Cloudflare keeps asking me to verify over and over that I'm not a bot -- which according to a short film I saw, means I probably am a bot. 
I read To Broadway by Maurane Mazars, a #GraphicNovel with images that made me think of Jules Feiffer's passionate modern dancers. That's apt because it's set in the late 1950s.
Uli is a young gay man studying dance at a prestigious studio in Germany. But no one there understands his love for popular dance. (One of my favorite scenes is of him alone in a theater, entranced by what I recognized as an impressionistic watercolor vision of "An American in Paris.")
He decides to pursue his Broadway dream, but nothing is as he expected; his new friends mock pop culture too, and the Black American dancer he fell for in Germany won't pursue a relationship with him.
There's not a lot of text in this--it's mainly images and atmosphere and you have to work a bit to follow the story. I found it very relatable and often beautiful.
(Thanks to the #QueerLiberationLibrary for making the book available)

@MissConstrue@mefi.social I wanted to recommend my favorite dress pattern but apparently it's no longer available. 
On the off chance it comes back the link is https://www.etsy.com/shop/SewStraightandGather
My mom has made me and my daughter any number of versions of this and it always looks gorgeous. Stylish, deep pockets. We're both chunky rectangles with long torsos and it gives us a figure. 😂

My mom has made me and my daughter any number of versions of this and it always looks gorgeous. Stylish, deep pockets. We're both chunky rectangles with long torsos and it gives us a figure. 😂My family is doing a jigsaw of vintage cereal ads and one section of text has me very intrigued. It seems to be asking "will you be ready?" but I can't tell yet if it's for a dream date or the Last Trumpet.
The inevitable end of having work done outside the house: mourning the smooshed plants, and cleaning the definitely not recyclables out of the recycling bin.

@nrohluap@ioc.exchange It reminds me of Garth Williams illustrations... so much character.

@KleineFreche@mastodon.social honestly, I love them so much with just butter it's hard to imagine doing anything else. Though I guess that would help them keep?.
What's a good look look for a #TransGirl going to an adult dance with a "prom" theme? She's a beautiful Amazon in her 20s.
My #TBRChallenge read was Dauntless, a gay romance with some mystery set on a very isolated Australian island. Bonus Simpsons overtones. 😂

@azteclady I mean, it's not the best book ever, but definitely better than I expected. There are some surprises.
@azteclady@kind.social I've almost finished The Book Witch and I think you should read it!

@SuperWendy I was using a google account, though I prefer not to so thanks for changing it. I'll see if it works now. @azteclady

-- our shower inspection is done! The project is finished!
-- my husband fixed the dryer. (Fingers crossed it stays fixed)
-- I found the energy to cook a wholesome dinner that used up leftovers.
@SuperWendy@kind.social Something going on with your site? I haven't been able to leave a comment.
-
Despite only getting around 6 hours of sleep, it was a good day.
-
I did some gardening and some tidying and made zucchini bread.
-
I ate lots of veggies.
A long and stressful day, made easier by people being kind and helpful.
-
Helpful receptionist and helpful nurse got us set up so my daughter could get her estradiol shot today.
-
Two separate people let my car in despite the horrendous traffic.
Which is kind of four good things but for my 3. I'll say that I got to eat three different kinds of homegrown produce for my lunch today.

Getting our covid boosters tomorrow
-
I planted some more lettuce.

1) dryer is fixed and shelves are up -- kitchen is almost back to normal chaos level.
2) I cooked with homegrown zuchinni and garlic and basil for the potluck today... not very well, but I did it.
3) did some chores I've been postponing.

Had a family day out. We visited my mom and celebrated George Cyril Wellbeloved's birthday. Then we took my daughter to a classic movie house and saw "Singin' in the Rain" and she loved the theater and loved the movie. I wish she would have a time-slip adventure and go back in time and watch movies with me in the days of revival houses.
