November 2nd

Monday was date night with S and we enjoyed a leisurely dinner and episodes of The Newsroom.  This is her first time watching, and she is understandably blown away.  I'm really enjoying the re-watch and experiencing it all again with her.

Another self care bit was to order my Lamy fountain pen and some ink samples to go with.  I have a few Chinese knock-offs, and they write fairly well, but I'm looking forward to the real thing.  Really need to get into some letter writing.  Maybe now with the extra hardware. :-) 

November 3rd

Dear $deity.. could there have been enough self care for today? 

Alcohol was out because I am on call. 

I did spend the evening with both S and G also watching more Newsroom.  G made pumpkin cookies to share, and that was lovely!

I had hoped to do some reading.  I recently checked out James Corey's Leviathan Wakes which is the first book of the Expanse series.  LOVE LOVE LOVE the TV series.  G has been reading the book series and found it a nice companion to the TV series, so I thought I would add it to my KCLS wait list, and lo and behold, it came up!  Not far in yet, but so far I'm enjoying the writing style and look forward to reading more.

Bit of music tonight to test out space and equipment for the live stream on Saturday, weather permitting.  Gonna be COLD outside... might be a problem.

More to come!
