My Wife's Birthday (no joke)
Apr. 1st, 2021 06:31 pm Even though it's April Fool's day today really is my wife's birthday.
I just made her favorite dinner and in about an hour, we're going to eat the cake we bought this morning at Cafe Latte. I bought her two things she asked for and one surprise. She asked for a bunch of "fat quarters" for her quilt and I surprised her with one of those monthly subscription things, where you get a box full of random art supplies. She joked (and probably rightly so) that the art stuff was at least partly also for myself, but we still had fun this morning playing with the fancy watercolor ink they sent us.
If anything nice comes out of our experimentation, I will post it here.
Today is the first, so I also got a couple posts together (and a reading) for my Patreon. What I'm finding amusing about this is that I actually don't mind doing the publicity stuff like writing the newsletter or making the video of myself reading. What I hate is promoting myself? Like actually pressing the button to put it out on various social media for people to find? Ah, well, that's part of what one does, so I do it.
Tomorrow I have my class... only three more to go on this 12-week monstrosity. It's been fun, actually? But, twelve weeks is a long class for the Loft--the longest they offer, in fact.
We are also having an electrician come check out what is going on in our basement tomorrow. We have a 100 year old house and the wiring in the basement has decided to quit at various lightbulb points... but not all of them? So, that's concerning. Making the call to have someone come made me into one of those tweets where someone says, "It took me six minutes to do the thing I avoided for a month." But, it's done and scheduled and now we just have to spend a huge portion of tomorrow cleaning up the basement in prep.
Saturday I drive to New Ulm to get my second and final Pfizer shot. So that's a thing.
