A two-day weekend feels rather short after a five-day âweekendâ, but, on the other paw, I didnât have to go anywhere all that far away, we didnât have any major cooking (Barely any cooking at all!), and it turned out to be quite relaxing.
I got a new wobble stool for Black Friday (among other purchases), so this weekend, I tested it out, and found it fun, if a little surprising for my back and thighs for the first couple hours. Mobile computing! Or, at least, computing and being mobile at the same time! Itâs actually a lot of fun.
We saw Fantastic Creatures this weekend, too, and that was fun, too; itâs not the most deep of movies, but it was visually beautiful, fun to watch, and has already got me spawning worlds of fic in my mind. Iâll call that worth the matinee ticket price.
Other than that â I wrote, we picked apples, we cleaned up the house a bit, hauled some firewood, and went out to lunch at our local Italian bar food restaurant (fish fry and enough Stromboli for three meals). We made cookies and the last of the turkey broth and⌠well, pretty much chilled. It was a peaceful weekend, and Iâll take it.
In other news, my Patreon has reached the $40 milestone again! Iâm excited to get Nimbus out of the tree and see what adventures she gets up to next! (what, Iâm supposed to know? I barely know how sheâs getting out of the tree! <.<)
Iâm contemplating doing a live-writing something sometime during my ~week plus~ work holiday at the end of December (a whole week! And then a Monday!) Details to follow, if thereâs interest.
And if you havenât checked out Selena Page yet, both the Halloweâen and Christmas stories are available on Smashwords for free: https://www.smashwords.com/profile/view/SelenaPage
Speaking of the holidays, Christmas is coming, Iâve finished my re/watch of the Librarians, and Iâve started watching Elementary, which might prove to be good knitting-tv (I hope so; I have a few projects to knit on relatively short deadlines!)
And Baking! I think Iâm going to try making âfancyâ cookies for my foodie aunt & uncle who are in ailing health. I canât give them wine anymore⌠(not kindly) so cookies it is! Anyone have a favorite âFancyâ cookie recipe, holiday or otherwise?
I hope you, too, had a peaceful weekend, and that the week is fun and productive for you.
