augusto sleepy

there never will be enough hours in the day, it seems.  at least, i'm not awake enough to fully take advantage of most of them.  by the time i get to my coffee in the morning, get to work, be at work, have lunch, go back to work, and come home, eat dinner, check e-mail, go for a run, and shower it is about 10pm and i find myself very sleepy.  too sleepy, in fact, to get very much else done.  however, these past couple days i have managed to resume making my previously usual "to do" lists and crossing off the items by the end of the day.

i've been researching the folding styles of letters in centuries past and created my own technique upon not having found the particular style that i was in search for.  i think mine is much better anyhow and have spent some hours in the past days meticulously folding sheets of parchment paper in preparation of letters to be written with my quill and ink.
but otherwise... very sleepy.  too much to do, too warm, too humid.  very sleepy.

arsenic and old acrylic

a new tickle takes shape with the help of acrylic yarn.  i hate acrylic yarns, preferring cotton and wool, but as i cannot find the 100% cotton yarn in pink, i have no other choice at this venture.  apollo doesn't think i should worry so much about it, as the yarn plays just as well as anything else.  this tickle has an intended home, so at least one of them will have found an owner.  as for the rest of the tickle gang... they are amusing themselves in an old milk crate, safe from chicken's (apollo) ever growing interest.


i didn't get half as much done today as i had wanted, even if my "to do" list has been getting checked off.  after a weekend out of philadelphia to the very green country side broken up by a day at the beach in rehobeth, delaware i should have made a greater attempt at these things i need to get done... such as getting a job.  even if it's not for lack of effort on my part, there is always more effort to be made and chins to be kept up.  well, one chin.  if i have more than one chin, then my worries are far worse off.
