Noo! You dug me up while I was napping after lunch! Put me back somewhere snug and quiet. *yawn* https://octodon.social/media/4Lqz-tLfe1xYbQ_0W00

Played organ sheet music on the piano and drafted Oldest Son to play the basso/pendals.

Anyway, we had great fun.
”Where am I?”
*offkey music*
”Oh it’s sharp?!” (both of us wincing)
”Hit the H!”
”What you mean H? Oh B?”
”That’s an H”
”After 2 years I finally learned G-A-B and now you call it an H?”
”Heads up on tempo, here comes the discant. Watch my right”
”I’m just learning to read notes and you’re making me read this?”
”It’s just single quarters. Easy peasy”

”Mom!!! Help! I walked into an Escher world and I can’t get out!”
In practice her legs got tangled when she tried to back out again.

Hedgehog update: Apparently he has been seen around my pro-gardening neighbour's plot. She has a compost and probably snails and earthworms.
I'll raise you 2 composts, earthworms and a feeding station.

I was planting the last few plants in the garden when I came 2 inches from running the spade through a hibernating hedgehog! Don't know who was most startled! The little guy wasn't hit, he moved when I checked on him, so I planted my bush, put the soil and leaves back on top of him and moved off.
Been hoping to lure on into the garden for a decade. So come spring I'll turn this place into a hedgehog haven heaven https://octodon.social/media/qZal-uIO_Yw9tN_MDOU

Felt crafty today. Painted two little drawers and got the hallway mess sorted https://octodon.social/media/vg3DZSPgQw3OCwYmhTI https://octodon.social/media/EiKIgUqhBPV9Ld7Eeco

Weather warning for rain amounts, temperature dropping. That's when the heater decides to sulk and just sit there.
We got through the weekend by using the fire place and tea lights.

"Indy, the floor is moving"
Lost the count at 30, there's a similar size flock in the back garden. The more colourful tits stick to the fatty food in the trees.

Project Hawk Food is underway https://octodon.social/media/c5KHiLofrBd54AcDvAE

Babysitting two torties w chilled tummies, after sustained head petting. They lurve sitting in front of the fireplace. https://octodon.social/media/OvaiihRzxJf_DECWjQc

Did 2 out of 3 rough decisions. Signed the paperwork. Not going to adult any more today.

Debating refusing to be an adult the rest of the day

Off to my first evening class lesson.
Partly exhilarating, partly scary.

Book buying accomplished

Left the following note on a windshield in the mall parking garage:
"A 3-year old can paint inside the lines. Someone with a drivers licence should be able to park within a square. Or did you actually pay for both?"

Temper. I have some.

Daughter popped in to inform me she's staying in town w her friends after school, bc they're going to the theater. Farenheit 451..
I made sure she had charger, bus pass, reminded her to eat something and promised to save some dinner. Wished her a good time. "I will" and she swooshed out the door like a medium sized autumn storm, leaves dancing in her wake.

Sometimes you have to acknowledge the monsters are turning out rather well. And yes, they're loved.

So wonderful!
My Froglet not only finished a book tonight, he ricochetted into my room and wanted to go to the bookshop tomorrow to buy part 2.

Now, I told him he had school, but before he deflated completely, I promised I'd try pick it up while running errands. The bright sunny smile was relit, and he zoomed back to bed.
Joy of reading is so important.

Which means two things:
I will be shovelling paper tomorrow, too, metaphorically speaking
and I'm drooling over the perfect rug
Which is a bit pricy, and I have several quite ok area rugs

Temptations are horrible

Rearranged my living room - turned out fine. Which meant I'm two hours behind on filing paperwork
