If you're not doing tea tree or rosemary or lavender, you don't know essential oils.

lol i read "daughters of the winter queen" by nancy goldstone which is about the offspring of elizabeth stuart. she in turn was king james vi/i's daughter - the one guy fawkes et al planned to install on the throne after disposing of james. anyway it's really good! lots of characters. one of the daughters becomes penpals with descartes. there is a lot of anxiety about "good matches" as the family fortunes become uncertain etc. you know how it is - accept the crown of bohemia, get run out of town by an armed battalion. i want to read more about rupert - he's the baby they almost got left on the floor when frederick and elizabeth stuart were fleeing prague in a hurry. he ended up fighting for charles i in the civil war and had a massive white dog named Boye that went with him everywhere, even into battle. for awhile he became a pirate of a sort.

hot tea, any kind green black herbal, i started drinking it again and with the exception of coffee in the morning which i need and love i think it is almost always better than coffeejapanese traditional music, koto, kabuki, percussionegg drop soup, a really good one is one of the most nourishing things to eat in the wintergetting outside whatever the weather isstopping by the lake erie shore on my way to work, the great lakes are amazingpainting daily! i never thought i would have a daily creative practice but for months now i've maintained one. i make a couple small watercolor works on paper next to my SAD lamp in the morning, 5am on weekdays is the best time. whatever happens throughout the day i like knowing that i created art in the morninginstagram? parts of it i hate but as an easy-to-maintain log of my art and photos i take of time spent outside and with my kids it reminds me that i have good things happening in my lifemy colleagues at work. 2018 was a rough fucking year for me at work but i put in a lot of effort to connect with people here and it is really paying off nowapplying for professional things - editorial board memberships in journals in my field, travel scholarships, learning opportunities. i don't always get them, i had a lot of rejections last year, but a few that i was selected for i am really excited aboutacknowledging that smoking weed in the morning is sometimes fun but not always, i don't need to do it every dayandy goldsworthy, richard serra, eric carlearnold lobel's frog and toadaquatic animals, i took my older son to the aquarium the other day and they are just stunning not having twitter on my phonenot engaging in moralisms or dumb judgements, acknowledging complexity in other peoplespinoza, that book the courtier and the heretic about him & leibniz is so goodsome zen readings i've had on my shelf for a long time since college, in particular chinul's korean way of zennts radio, what a gift! i truly enjoy not knowing what i am listening to, abandoning the collector's impulse to acquire & obtain knowledge, instead immersion & availability & acknowledgement & opennesshippie bullshit, most kinds

Thanks, marcos! He's gone from pretyy much only saying "mama" to yes, no, hi, home, up, off, dada, purple, and eat. Granted, it's taken seven years. But progress is progress. Hope your own parenting journey is also progressing.

Trying to work out how to create different collar styles in both shirts and jackets.Also working up the menu from random hot asian fusion thingy with various meats to something wider and more varied.The Favourite quite fun with non-sympathetic characters which can't be that easy to do. I thought the big point was to try to create a level of sympathy with even thoroughly nasty individuals otherwise you just wouldn't care what happened with them. GUess you get some of that since you do seem to care what happens with these very self-centred characters.
Getting down to actually making a bunch of new stuff.
New 10.5 tog duvet.Watching talks on aquatic litter and other stuff.
Replacing things that haven't worked for a while like my daily haversack/bag thing. Now got a mil-tec thing which is at least intact. May wind up making myself something some time later this year since i got a pattern for various bags last year.
Cotton velvet though would like a few more colours.

The Reach/Listerine woven floss is amazing. I buy it three at a time because sometimes I can't find it. If your teeth are very tight together it might not be good for you though.
