My crafts group.
I struggle with shit, and my therapist hosts it. Ive been working on the same painting for three months, and I still don’t know what it is, or will be.
But anyway, a couple of us love history and last week I found volume 2 of an encyclopedia set, printed in 1875. I got it for $1. So I brought it in. I love how we all thought it was so cool.
I am taking a C programming class this quarter at college. So far I haven’t been clicking everything into place, so to speak, but I did get a program I’m working on for solving quadratic equations to calculate and print the discriminate and roots.
The only thing In have to do left is figure out how to properly get it to print out the correct response if it’s a single, double, or complex number root.
Discovered that a record I thought I had listened to and not really liked, actually has a banger on it. Money not wasted after all!
I ordered a cheap set of in-ear earbuds. They arrived this morning and I have them charging now.
Today has yet to impress. Yesterday, however… I was driving to work, when I heard news that the bridge I take to work was closed due to a multi-vehicle accident. I was literally at the intersection where I turn onto the street leading to the bridge when the traffic report came on. I ended up going through the intersection rather than turning. I took a half-hour detour along the same streets I cycle on in my free time, taking in the autumn colours and not worrying about traffic (there was none as it’s a reduced speed zone and people suck). Ended up going through our downtown, past all my old haunts, and eventually found my way to work. After all that, I was only three minutes late. My only regret is that I didn’t bring a coffee with me when I left the house.
Today’s my last day at this job before starting a new job on Monday. In addition to making the rounds and discovering how much people have appreciated my time and will miss me, one of my favorite people I deliver to gave me a painting she had made for me that will now be the first decoration at my new desk.
I cleaned my desk today :D
When I went outside to feed the forest friends this morning, a blue jay with injuries that I had been hanging out with that was missing for a few days showed up.
I’m going to ride that high all day.
The Daily Show
I have balls-scrunching anxiety.
So any kind of public speaking means I shit my pants.
I gave a presentation today & I only got scared shitless at the beginning. After those first 2mins, things went well.
Mind you, I had previously left mid-way from one such presentation with the same people, making a stupid excuse.
Felt nice.This made me happy today
New Rush concert announced. That’s how you make an old man cry right there.
Got home from work
One of my plants is blooming for the first time. I was treating it for mineral deficiencies just a few weeks ago so it looks like it got what it wanted and is very happy now.
uncommon succulent blooms, plus the ones that rarely blooms. Strelitzia blooms(not reginae) are always a treat, because they are harder to make bloom the common one.
