An Outing

Happy things from today:

• My days have been starting a lot later than they should be.  It was after lunch by the time I got moving.  When I take a shower I listen to music.  A sign that I am feeling better is that I sang in the shower today.  I haven't felt like singing with Covid.
• Keziah’s store is open on Sundays until Christmas.  She forgot something and asked me to bring it to the store for her.  So I had my first outing since having Covid.  I brought her what she needed, I visited (masked) with her for a little bit, and I took a short walk down Main St.  It is nice to be feeling better.

All this stuff is going on sale soon!

• Until the holidays, the other part of Keziah’s store has popup art and craft shops.  One of the artists brings his dog.  So I also got some time with his dog, Jazzy.  

Jazzy is wondering why I am only using one hand to pet them.

Spider

Today my happy things are:

• It was my turn to drive the new car.  Keziah and I did some errands together so I had some guidance over some of the random buttons.  It is an enjoyable drive.  It has some beeping that I'll need to get used to.  An example would be getting closer to the drive-up than the car thought I should be.  It also let me know when the car in front of me advanced, and I didn't. 
• Outside leaves are turning from green to lovely shades of red, orange, and yellow.

• Keziah got some fabric today.  It has a name that isn't coming to me, but it has the sequins that look different depending on which way they are pet.  Keziah is going to make it into a petting board for the store.  It is something that will entertain young children.  The fabric was spread over the comfy sack and Nanni, our brown tabby, decided to check it out. After walking on it and sniffing a bit, she decided to find another place to relax.

• Spiders are not my favorite thing.  I can appreciate that they have a use, but I don't particularly like them.   Today the prompt for Inktober is spider.  Again, I didn't take a lot of time or use ink.  I did try to make something more humorous than scary.

Shopping

Today's happy things:

• About 45 minutes away is a fabric and clothing store, Dorr Mill Store. Keziah and I went there for the first time today. It was a beautiful drive past lakes, forests, and mountain views. The fabric part of the store specializes in wool. Keziah picked up a lovely plaid.

• On the way to Dorr Mill Store we stopped at another store. This one, Witching Hour Provisions, sold natural cleaning and refillable products. It is a cute shop with many novelty items.

• On the way back from Dorr Mill Store there was a deer that we saw on a side road. I chose to enjoy the view rather than fumbling for a picture.
• Gideon had field day at his school today.  The team he was on won.  Yay!
