Things of Note:
Not too much this week. New Years happened, in a low key way. A long weekend was had, the Christmas tree came down. My shop went into vacation mode while I figure some stuff out for it. Regular work started back up again today. I don’t generally put much stock in the New Year hype, but I do feel a renewed productive urge, so maybe there’s something to it. Or maybe it’s just that we got some sunshine instead of grey rainy weather finally. I’m more and more convinced that I have the winter version of seasonal affective disorder. I can handle sunny and cold, even if I don’t like the cold. But when it’s cold AND grey AND rainy? Forget about it. I’m going to be a sleepy sloth thing homebody huddled in blankets on the couch.
How has your 2016 kicked off? Do you get the winter slumps too?

Recapturing Childhood
Awhile back I did a stint at a local elementary school as a Reading Buddy - helping a kid who has trouble reading learn to read more/better through one-on-one storytime sessions. As the end of the 'semester' drew near, I wanted to get her a book that she could keep...
Recipe: Brown Chicken Curry
This is one of my absolute, all-time favorite meals. I always clean my plate (and am sometimes tempted to lick it clean), and leftovers disappear in a hurry over the next day or so. I used to have to go to an Asian market to find this curry sauce mix, but then my...
Right Now…
Right now, I am... still tweaking the next design for the shop. I'd originally planned to unveil it today, but I'm not happy with it yet. desperately in need of the paychecks I'm owed. I hate hate hate when clients take their sweet time getting the check in the mail...
What I Wore: the 4th
