*sleepy purr*
Feb. 22nd, 2012 04:09 pmHad a good day today:
* got a haircut; not super short (it's still shoulder length) but a good four or five inches shorter than it was. I kinda want to start wearing headbands, too, and leaving my hair down.
* wandered around downtown for a bit, found a tea shop I hadn't known about, went to the bead store and got a couple of pendants (a purple iridescent dolphin, and a sprawling silver octopus) along with silver cording for them to go on. will get pictures later, because they are Awesome
* generally enjoyed the weather (74 [F, or about 23 C] and sunny and utterly freaking gorgeous, with trees starting to blossom) and being outside
* came back and spent a bit of time tilted back with suri on my chest/stomach, and managed to have a mindset of "enjoying the present" rather than "doing nothing like a pathetic lazy slacker"
* have also found a rather enjoyable book -- on![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
rb's recommendation, "How To Be Sick" by Toni Bernhard, subtitled "a Buddhist-inspired guide for the chronically ill and their caregivers" -- which has suggestions for dealing with life with chronic illness, including such chapters as "What To Do When (It Seems) You Can’t Do Anything?"
* also discovered that a favorite author has some books available in ebook format that hadn't been ebookable last I checked, which makes me very happy. there is a tiny part of me that grumbles about paying for an ebook when I own the hardcopy books (and just want a more managable format) but as there is no convenient book-to-ebook exchange mechanism, buying another copy it is!
* restarted the tunisian crochet with the proper hook, and magically it is a manageable size, go figure; also have gorgeous tweedy yarn (a plum purple with flecks of yellow and green and red) to make wristwarmers with once I'm done with the dishcloth practice
(yarn is such a happy thing)
since I seem to have a goodly amount of contentedness and love right now, let me share it. I would radiate it if I could, but in lieu of that: you are awesome. Yes, you. /many many hugs and, as desired, kitty- and puppy-snuggles/
